UP ON HIGH is a 9-part dance film spectacular that follows a gaggle of kings + queens as they soar into futurism, queer legacy, and embodied ancestry. Set against the backdrop of Bay Area hill tops, the film features over 60 QTBIPOC artists, uplifting an intergenerational cast of local drag performers and activists. Build your altar, light a candle, grab a fistful of glitter, and call upon your higher self.
