"We shot the movie in San Francisco. Mari, the director, is from San Francisco, and she wanted to do a big screening for friends and family who shot the movie there; it takes place in San Francisco. We had a bunch of drag queen on the crew. Our first AD was Cousin Wonderlette, the casting director for the extras was Lady Bear, who is a legendary drag queen in San Francisco, and we had Peaches Christ. "
