Indie queer romantic comedy The Queerdos will celebrate its world premiere at Cinema Diverse: The Palm Springs LGBTQ Film Festival, taking place September 17–27. Starring Emily Rios (Snowfall) alongside breakout newcomer Savannah Shoenecker, and directed by first-time feature filmmaker Jenifer Yeuroukis, The Queerdos is a female-driven comedy centering a socially awkward food delivery driver who faces foreclosure on her inherited Hollywood Hills home. Desperate to save it, she rents every spare inch to a colorful band of queer misfits, only to discover viral fame, unexpected romance, and the chosen family she never knew she needed.

Jenifer Yeuroukis, a filmmaker friend I’ve met about a decade ago in my hip hop classes at the former Edge Performance Art Center in Los Angeles, has just directed her first feature film The Queerdos that I executive produced. The Queerdos also marks the first feature film of the film movement Dogma LA 25 that a collective of filmmakers and I have founded. Wrapping The Queerdos, I’ve taken the opportunity to have a conversation with her.
