About This Project

She’s “silly,” she’s “sassy” and she’s shaking up social norms and subverting gender roles. San Francisco’s Lil Miss Hot Mess reveals the history of drag, its backstage antics and political importance. Starring Harris David Harris, Lil Miss Hot Mess, is a fun look at the entertainment and societal importance behind drag.

 

Little Miss Hot Mess is a collaboration from the Social Documentation M.A. Program and Digital Arts & New Media M.F.A. Program at UC Santa Cruz. The piece was shot, produced, edited and completed within five days for the International Documentary Challenge in 2014.
