Kings, Queens and In-Betweens is a documentary on drag queens and kings in Columbus, Ohio. Through personal stories of kings, queens, and transgender performers, the film (to be completed 2013) captures how such terrific performers tackle the complexities and pathos of gender expression, personal identity, and human rights -- all with humor, great music, big hair, and duct tape. KQIB will be the first film to include the entire gender psderformance spectrum - kings, queens, and "in-betweeners."
