The film describes itself as a “revolutionary D.I.Y.
parody film and hilarious reimagining of the classic autobiographical coming-of-age story.”
In her own statement, Drew said, “This movie started as a D.I.Y.
What better home than among Altered Innocence’s catalog of gorgeously gay and deliciously edgy films.”
