FW 'Everybody's Talking About Jamie'
The new feature film “Everybody’s Talking About Jamie” is a coming of age story about a teen who dreams of becoming a drag queen. The film is inspired by both a documentary and adapted from a 2017 London stage musical based on the real-life teen, Jamie Campbell. John Horn spoke with Director Jonathan Butterell and star Max Harwood about the film and why it’s not a traditional coming out story. The film is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video and is rated PG-13.
