Joining the conversation is the film's creator and legendary auteur John Cameron Mitchell, who discusses the impetus for his radical vision and what it means to him nearly two decades later. Then, star of the movie and cult fave Peter Stickles stops by to share memories from the set and the challenges of taking on a role that asks you to be fearless.
