Hush Up Sweet Charlotte: Making Of

Go behind the scenes of Hush Up Sweet Charlotte, Billy Clift's affectionate drag send-up of the 1964 Bette Davis Gothic thriller Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte. This companion special follows the production from set to screen, catching up with the cast as they step into famous shoes: San Francisco drag legend Matthew Martin in the Davis role, Varla Jean Merman taking on the scheming cousin originally played by Olivia de Havilland, and John Waters regular Mink Stole as the housekeeper Velma. Jason Stuart and Here TV's David Millbern also appear. The program culminates with the film's red-carpet premiere at San Francisco's Castro Theatre in October 2015, capturing the excitement of a hometown crowd turning out for a camp homage financed and championed by Here Media. It is a lively look at how a beloved Hollywood melodrama was reimagined with wigs, wit and considerable devotion to the original.
