“With Pamela Anderson Was a Prophet, we set out to create a video that flips old Western iconography on its head by casting an entirely queer, mostly trans group of performers to tell a story where a Drag Queen is the great equalizer. It’s good old fashion camp, but also a giant act of rebellion in these times where performing in drag is more and more threatened by the Texas legislation.“ - Director Emily Basma
