About This Project

Summary

Out of the Closet’s mission is to spotlight compelling queer voices using the talent of RuPaul’s Drag Race to connect with vast LGBTQ audiences. Originally created to showcase iconic costumes, the series has evolved by offering a deeper connection to the queens and their artistry, allowing them to share on a more personal level. More than just fashion, OOTC continues the human stories beyond Drag Race, exploring how these LGBTQ icons’ lives grow and change after the show.

Goals & Objectives

The objective was to continue to document the dynamic lives and fashion of the LGBTQ icons Drag Race audiences have come to know and love. A major goal was to dive deeper into the personal lives of the talent, and show how through their drag, they are connecting with their creativity.

Results & Impact

Season 8 of Out of the Closet was met with intensely positive fan reaction; fans were thrilled to go behind the scenes and connect with queens whose fashion sensibilities they have long admired. Individual episodes continued to soar in views, reaching over 288k views and 10k likes per episode.
