Fifty years after The Rocky Horror Picture Show electrified audiences, a local theater company in the once-booming mining town of Rock Springs, Wyoming, stages a shadow cast of the cult classic. Led by the charismatic 25-year-old drag performer Kenny Starling, the determined troupe spotlights the ongoing fight for queer visibility and acceptance in their community. For misfits, dreamers, and the delightfully weird, Rocky Horror became their sanctuary. Now Starling has done something audacious in this small politically conservative western town. The film follows the iconic production from exhausting rehearsals to thrift-store costume hunts and immerses us in the lives of its vibrant cast.

Allison Berg is a New York filmmaker whose films span stories as varied as witchcraft accusations in Northern Ghana in Witches in Exile; the story of NYC’s most infamous bank robber in The Dog; and the pursuit of sainthood in American Saint.
