Written and Directed by Moshe Henderson

When does the mask we wear as queer people interfere with our relationships? Through the lens of four queer-ass men on Pride Eve, Velvet Rage explores the queer lexicon, gay iconography, and pop-culture references that connect members of the queer community. And somewhere between the second sex on the beach and the fifth vodka soda, the truth gets spilled and the claws come out.
