Tyra Sanchez: Drag Dad

On the third season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Tyra Sanchez came out on top.

Now, Sanchez is the subject of a documentary, focusing on their life as a performer and father. The film, entitled Drag Dad, is currently in production and is looking for funds via Kickstarter.

There is also a website to help promote the film, and Ms Ru herself has even tweeted about it to lend her support. The film-in-progress has already raised more than $9,000 of the $16,000 needed. We here at Down East wish them all the luck in the world and can’t wait to see the finished product.

Journalist, writer, blogger, producer.
