CHERRY POP, the uproarious new comedy starring Bob The Drag Queen (Caldwell Tidicue), will premiere around the country this summer in a series of special screenings. The film premiered in New York on June 19 as part of NYC Pride. This month, the film has special screenings at OUTFEST in Los Angeles on Monday, July 10. The legendary Castro Theater will host the San Francisco premiere of CHERRY POP on July 11th. CHERRY POP will then be available worldwide on VOD this Fall.
Directed by Assaad Yacoub, CHERRY POP follows one night in the life of a failing drag bar and its colorful performers—from the backstage backstabbing to the onstage antics. When a newcomer (Lars Berge) arrives for his first night performing, he struggles to find his place amidst the raucous regulars, the vicious clique of performers, and one legendary queen coming to terms with life after her last night in drag. The film also stars Caldwell Tidicue (Bob The Drag Queen), Detox, Latrice Royale and Tempest Dujour.
“As the leader in LGBT film distribution, we are thrilled to bring Assaad Yacoub’s wonderful and wacky world to audiences around the country this summer,” said Jim Stephens, President of Wolfe Video and Wolfe Releasing. “CHERRY POP radiates an irresistible queer vibrancy that makes NYC Pride the perfect venue to host our New York premiere. We are excited to also bring the film to San Francisco and then to fans around the country on VOD this Fall.”
“We’re thrilled to partner with NewFest and the SVA Theatre to bring back OutCinema for a second year,” said Chris Frederick, NYC Pride Managing Director. “CHERRY POP’s premiere during NYC Pride celebrates the LGBTQ community in new and electrifying ways.”
