Everybody's Talking About Jamie
Part of the Features Strand
Director Jonathan Butterell transitions from his musical success in London's West End to feature directorial debut with Everybody's Talking About Jamie. Based upon a real-life story, 16-year-old Jamie New overcomes prejudices from his unsupportive dad, an uninspiring career advisor and ignorant classmates to fulfil his ambition to become a fierce and fearless drag queen. Butterell has created a raucous, joyous, feel-good comedy musical, as we watch Jamie step out into the spotlight with his best friend Pritti and loving Mum cheering him at every step of the way. Watch for Richard E. Grant’s interpretation of Hugo Battersby, aka the fabulous warrior queen Loco Chanelle!
