‘Drag Race’ Star Lady Camden Doc ‘Lady Like’ Releases in January
“Lady Like,” a documentary about “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 14 standout Lady Camden, aka Rex Wheeler, has been acquired by Freestyle Digital Media for distribution in North America. The banner has set a release date of January 3, 2025 for digital rental and purchase, with a DVD launch to follow on January 7, 2025.
Directed by Luke Willis, “Lady Like” had its world premiere at the BFI Flare London LGBTQIA+ Film Festival, selected as the closing screening of the event in March. Willis and Carter Feuerhelm wrote, while Willis and Cookie Walukas are producers.
The film follows Lady Camden, the London-born, San Francisco-based drag queen who shot into the global spotlight in 2022 with a run on “Drag Race.” Along with Lady Camden, fellow Drag Race competitor Nina West narrates while Shiloh Clarke also appears in the documentary.
“Following Lady Camden over the past few years as she rises to international prominence has been an incredibly healing journey for me,” Willis said in a statement. “Lady Camden/Rex’s journey to find refuge in the theater is universal, even beyond queer communities, because it is a story about finding your place in the world. Everyone, from all walks of life, knows what it’s like to feel like an outsider. It’s incredibly powerful to watch someone muster the courage to set out and discover where they belong despite all odds. I hope you fall in love with Rex, fall in love with drag and most importantly find the strength and courage to persevere on your own journey to belong.
Freestyle, a division of Allen Media Group, negotiated the deal with Glen Reynolds of Circus Road Films.
