ABOUT THE FILM
LOGLINE
50 years after The Rocky Horror Picture Show electrified the world, a fearless dreamer dares to bring its message of personal expression and sexual freedom to a small Wyoming town.
LONG SYNOPSIS
Fifty years ago, The Rocky Horror Picture Show burst onto the scene and blew everyone’s minds—a glorious, campy, sexy, utterly bizarre midnight ritual that turned movie-going into something you did rather than just watched. For misfits, dreamers and the delightfully weird, Rocky Horror became their sanctuary. And for the queer community especially, it was something even more powerful: the one place you could feel completely, gloriously free.
Today, that freedom has never felt more precious—or more fragile.
Lights up on Rock Springs, Wyoming—a dusty boomtown in one of the country’s most conservative states—where 25-year-old Kenny Starling has done something audacious: opened the first drag and queer theater company in town. Their debut show? A shadow cast of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Kenny’s mission: to bring queer visibility, joy, and acceptance to the high desert plains of Wyoming.
TIME WARP follows Kenny and his extraordinary cast as they rehearse, discover, and transform—lacing up corsets, stepping into heels, and finding that every performance is equal parts joy and defiance.
Wyoming calls itself the “Equality State,” but Kenny believes his fearless cast—and the audiences who show up—might finally make that true, at least inside the Broadway Theater on a Friday night.
“Ultimately, it’s not political,” Kenny says. “It’s our existence.”
TIME WARP is a celebration of joyful self-expression, found family, and the radical, timeless act of being yourself.
