One of the amazing films we’re featuring at the Q***r Film Showcase on May 23rd in Houston!
Synopsis: Amish Country Q***r follows Brady Pappas, a q***r photographer documenting the vibrant LGBTQ+ and drag community in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, a place more often associated with its Amish heritage than q***r visibility. Through Brady's lens, the film reveals a thriving network of artists, performers, and chosen family building spaces of belonging in an environment where acceptance has not always felt possible. For Brady, photography is more than documentation. It is a way to reclaim the landscapes of their hometown that once carried isolation and transform them into sites of pride, connection, and creative power. Brady's work becomes something larger than art: a living portrait of resilience, visibility, and the evolving possibilities of q***r life in small-town America.
