Hunky Dory

Year 2016
Runtime 88 mins

Glam rock drag queen Sidney (Tomas Pais) lives a lifestyle that leaves no room for children. So when his ex drops off their 11-year-old son George (Edouard Holdener, FALLEN CARDS) for the week, they must both adapt and learn to accept each other.

With his feature film debut, writer/Director Michael Curtis Johnson has created a thoroughly modern portrait of love, family, and the ever-elusive search for fame. And while it pulls no punches dealing with its themes of addiction and broken dreams, at its heart, HUNKY DORY is an examination of the bond that exists between parents and their children – no matter the circumstances.
