Filmfest: TIME WARP

About the Film

Documentary | 112 MIN | US

When the original creators of ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ electrified (and shocked) audiences, would any of them have imagined that 50 years later a live shadow-production of their film would lead the fight for queer visibility in tiny Rock Springs, Wyoming? Probably not. Spearheaded by a remarkable young man named Kenny Starling and a cast of local first-time performers, TIME WARP takes us along through rehearsals, personal dramas, and even a terse city council meeting where the full diversity of the town’s cultural values are aired, threatening to shut the production down. Optimistic and uplifting, TIME WARP never veers away from difficulty, but ultimately celebrates all the good a small community can contain and what that can teach us all.
