A grieving drag queen's glitter bomb meets a cleaner with baggage. Messy.
Jean has a no nonsense attitude to both her cleaning job and her affluent clientele. But faced with the aftermath of a grieving drag queen’s night of hedonism, she is forced to confront the pain of her own loss, and the repercussions of a deep rooted prejudice. Clutter examines how loss affects us all, whether gay, straight or trans, and how we find the strength to move forward.
Acting
Procter and Ashton pack entire lives into fifteen minutes.
Production
The clutter itself becomes a character—mess as emotional archaeology.
Director
James Card
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The title works triple-duty: physical mess, emotional baggage, and the cluttered space between class and queerness where connection happens.
Short dramas like this increasingly debut at queer film festivals before wider release—Card's background in theatre likely shaped the compressed, dialogue-heavy structure.
