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

“I get inspired to write something and then the horror elements are secondary. So, with Satranic Panic, the very first thing I came up with was just a road trip movie, and then came the idea for a trans drag queen and her best friend killing demons.”
