Indie Trans Filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay’s Latest Is ‘Buffy’ Meets ‘Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’

“This dad is okay with his daughter being queer. He doesn’t care. Whatever. It’s not this huge source of tension in their lives. But there are just so many ways in which he cannot understand her experience in the world — who she is and her sexuality and the body she’s in.”
