Last year, Bianca Del Rio and director Matt Kugelman started a kickstarter to fund their feature film entitled 'Hurricane Bianca'. The project had a lot of support, but hadn't yet reached it's goal. It seemed the film was put on hold due to Bianca's appearance on RuPaul's Drag Race, but she has confirmed in a recent interview that the movie is very much still happening. Get excited!
"I have this friend of mine that I had written this movie with that we're going to make. He's an aspiring filmmaker. And it's called Hurricane Bianca. We started fundraising before I did Drag Race and now we're going to go back into it, and actually make it happen, which I'm excited about. It's a feature film. And it should be fun. Did you know this? It's a good gay fact: In 29 states, for being gay you can still be fired from work. It's legal. So it's a movie basically about a guy who is down in life, and he gets fired from his job, and then he returns in drag (as me) to ruin people's lives and get revenge" -The Bianca Del Rio |
After Bianca's success on season 6, fans are hungry for more, and willing to do just about anything (including donating to kickstarter) to see her on the big screen again.
According to the film's website, "Hurricane Bianca is a feature-length comedy about a New York teacher who moves to a small town in Texas, gets fired for being gay, and returns disguised as a mean lady to get revenge on the people who were nasty to him! It's Tootsie meets Revenge of the Nerds, or Mrs. Doubtfire for the Jackass generation! Topical, touching and really funny, its one person's journey to find himself while pretending to be someone else."
