Dressed As A Girl is a documentary film of East London’s alternative drag scene,[1] directed by Colin Rothbart,[2] which focuses on both the public and personal lives of some of the key performers on the alternative drag scene.

According to the US/Canadian magazine Vice it has been called a "frockumentary" which, as well as looking at the public face of the drag scene, it tells the personal stories of six of its performers.[3]

Although the film documents the highs and lows of their personal lives as well as their 'on-stage' personas, The Guardian notes that "Once the film-maker returns to his subjects off-hours, however, he identifies as much subtle and cherishable variation as there is among birds of paradise."[4]

Cast

The film examines the careers and off-stage lives of six London drag queens: Jonny Woo, Scottee, Holestar, Pia, Amber, and John Sizzle[5]
