Dear Mr. Zimmerman,
The latest work by Jeffrey Schwarz (Vito), I AM DIVINE, follows the internationally recognized drag superstar from his humble beginnings as an overweight, teased Baltimore youth to his wildly successful collaboration with filmmaker John Waters.
The film premiered at SXSW, and has played recently at Sheffield Doc/Fest, Frameline and Outfest, and is set to tear up the festival circuit this year with over 100 scheduled screenings so far around the globe.
More information about the films is provided below, as is a Cindando screening link. If you'd like a non-Cinanda screening link or a DVD screener, please let me know and I would be happy to provide.
Best regards,
David Averbach, Creative Director

I Am Divine
ABOUT THE FILM:
I AM DIVINE is the story of Divine, aka Harris Glenn Milstead, from his humble beginnings as an overweight, teased Baltimore youth to internationally recognized drag superstar through his collaboration with filmmaker John Waters. Spitting in the face of the status quos of body image, gender identity, sexuality, and preconceived notions of beauty, Divine was the ultimate outsider turned underground royalty. With a completely committed in-your-face style, he blurred the line between performer and personality, and revolutionized pop culture. I AM DIVINE is a definitive biographical portrait that charts the legendary icon’s rise to infamy and emotional complexities.
