Drag queen horror film, Skin Side Up, will debut a clip May 17 at the Proof of Concept showcase of the Frontières Platform, presented by Canada’s Fantasia International Film Festival and Cannes Marché du Film, Variety reports.

The film marks the directorial feature debut of Season 4 Drag Race Down Under winner Robert Ten Eyck. It has already landed a distribution deal for Australia and New Zealand from Victoria-based Umbrella Entertainment

The film’s synopsis reads:

Skin Side Up turns on Bertha Woodhouse, a drag queen who takes a hen’s gig in the middle of nowhere. The moment she arrives, things feel off – the party has only four guests, and their behaviour is unsettling. During a game of ‘affirmations,’ she receives an anonymous note: “I don’t know who these people are. HELP.”

“This film is deeply personal. As a queer person and a drag performer, I’ve lived the unsettling reality of walking into unfamiliar spaces, not knowing if I’m truly safe.” Ten Eyck told Variety. “I wanted to make a film about that fear — the terror of being trapped in someone else’s idea of who you should be. Skin Side Up is dark, disturbing and fucked up in all the ways I love, but it’s also a deeply human story about identity, control and survival.”

It is produced by Cellophane Studios and Iris Arc Pictures.
