Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Astrid Ovalles co-directed, wrote, produced, AND starred—true indie chaos queen energy. The entire film was made for under $15,000.
The camp setting deliberately mirrors the real 'Lavender Scare' era when queer women in government/teaching jobs were systematically purged. Rose's precarious position as camp leader reflects actual historical stakes.
