City of Queens<\/em>, a feature documentary telling the stories of eight London drag queens, has been licensed by Peacock for the U.S.<\/p>\n

The aim of the documentary is to humanize the people behind drag, showing that the queens are part of families and communities with real, relatable problems. It stars Bimini Bon Boulash, runner-up of RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race UK<\/em>\u00a0season two.<\/p>\n

City of Queens<\/em> is set to debut on Peacock on June 1. It is the latest sale for the documentary, which has also been picked up by Sky UK, Sky Italia and Paramount Australia\u201410 Play.<\/p>\n

The documentary is produced by Great Guns and directed by Matt Timmiss. Timmiss is looking to serialize the format and has produced a pitch deck for a version spanning six U.S. cities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are solution-oriented and thrive on the creative challenges presented to us. Our continued efforts to encourage and mentor talent is a vital part of Great Guns\u2019 DNA,\u201d said Laura Gregory, CEO of Great Guns. \u201cMatt Timmiss approached us with a short film idea and five minutes of cut footage over two years ago, and we backed his dream with production staff and budget to turn his vision into a feature-length film. Matt is an outstanding young writer and director who has catapulted himself in the world of film; his passion and drive compels everyone around him to deliver more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gregory continued, \u201cGreat Guns is a true global partner to some of the world\u2019s smartest and best creative brands from the U.S., U.K., Europe and across Asia. Being diverse and inclusive is, and always has been, an essential part of our ethos. Our mantra is \u2018think local, be global.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
