Once and Future Queen

A rock diva sinks deep into the gutter as she makes a futile attempt at rising to stardom in this bizarre underground feature, shot using digital video equipment. Antimatter (Philly) is a would-be rock star who fronts a glam/punk band called Eager Meat. Antimatter loves the passionate abandon of performing on-stage, and craves the drugs, sex, and decadent luxury that come with being a major star, but unfortunately the rest of the world is hardly paying her the slightest bit of attention. Antimatter gobbles up any drug that crosses her path and guzzles whatever booze she can cage from her rapidly shrinking circle of friends, as she searches for a place to sleep and a fresh refrigerator to raid. Antimatter's attempts to quit drinking have only earned her another drinking buddy (Eric Sapp), whom she met at an AA meeting, and her psychiatrist (Brenda Velez) has come to the sad conclusion that nothing can be done for her. So what is this aspiring queen of the night supposed to do with herself? Once and Future Queen was directed by Todd Verow, the independent filmmaker responsible for the infamous gay-themed feature Frisk. Incidentally, in real life, drag queen Philly really does front the band Eager Meat that is featured in the movie.
