My Name is Jackie Beat

OUT AT THE MOVIES
Sponsored by the Long Island Gay and Lesbian Film Festival

Get an up close look at the man behind the notorious drag queen persona with this intimate portrait of artist Kent Fuher - who has been entertaining audiences from Los Angeles to Berlin with spitfire live performances offering a hilariously twisted slant on pop-culture. Before he dons his wig and make-up, Fuher's life is a swirling mass of insecurities, but when the outrageous performer transforms himself into the acid-tongued Jackie Beat, all bets are off. From hilarious song parodies to verbal sparring matches with his adoring, but good humored, audience, Jackie Beat offers nothing less than pure, unadulterated, entertainment. Now fans can find out just what happens when the make-up comes off and the artist goes to work in a revealing documentary that examines two compelling personalities for the price of one. - Jason Buchanan
