This Thursday, First Period has the honour of being the Opening Night Gala screening at the Baltimore Q’Fest. The proud director, Charles Vaughn, reached out to us about it, so we thought it was a great opportunity to post the trailer.
You can certainly get a bit of a John Waters feel from the promo, particularly as the main female characters are played by men in drag but that fact isn’t mentioned, as well as the style of humour.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘New girl Cassie (Brandon Alexander III) and outcast Maggie (Dudley Beene) are easily the most awkward girls in high school. Together, they decide the way to win the hearts of the cute boys and popular girls is to come in first at the school talent show. But rivals Heather, Other Heather, and their popular boyfriends Brett and Dirk will stop at nothing to keep our heroes the laughing stock of the school. It’s going to take makeovers, courage, and maybe even a little rapping to beat them in true 80s style.’
Take a look at the fun looking trailer above.
I love it! Thank you for posting this…can’t wait to see it!
