Hurricane Bianca 2 is even gayer than the first!
Years ago, I was working gay ski week for Curve Magazine when I spotted a producer and a cameraman from Logo TV across the room. The producer was gorgeous, confidant and stylish, and I found myself drawn to her all weekend long.
Unfortunately, I lack any kind of game whatsoever, so instead of flirting with her like I wanted to do, I ended up spending a lot of time talking with her cameraman, Matt Kugelman.
Fast forward a decade and that cameraman is one of my best friends, a creative confidant I turn to when I feel like I’ll never finish my project or wonder if it’s all worth it. I’ve watched him work his ass off and hone his craft, and I’m so proud to say that his second feature film is premiering this weekend and I want you all to see it!
Hurricane Bianca 2: From Russia with Hate stars Ru Paul Drag Race winner Bianca del Rio (a.k.a. Roy Haylock) as she tries to break her friends out of a Russian prison with help from fellow drag queens Shangela, Katya and Darienne Lake. Other celebrities in the movie include Rachel Dratch, Doug Plaut, Wanda Sykes, Janeane Garofalo, Sally Jessy Raphael, Kristen Johnston, Alicia Goranson, Dot-Marie Jones, and Cheyenne Jackson.
