'It’s really my first big event production series that I’ve completely put on by myself. It’s my own idea, and I’m completely at the helm, so I’m glad that it’s going well.' -ramonaslick
. Each event features a brief drag show and screening of a queer film classic. Audience members wear their campy weekday best as, in true cult film fashion, they cheer for both cosplayed and projected characters. I spoke with Ramona Slick about the series and the influence of movies on their queer identity. This interview has been condensed for length and clarity.
One of the elements that I love about Rated Q so much is it really becomes sort of an interactive viewing experience. I found that the audience is very responsive, just able to have a lot of fun with it and kind of relax. It really becomes a community viewing experience.I pick both myself. I run everything by the Music Box, but for the most part, I basically get to curate viewings specifically for movies that I really love. It’s a little selfish, but, you know, everyone benefits.
I’ve been going to the Music Box since I moved here in 2016. I’ve always appreciated the historical aspect of it, given that it was built in 1929, and I have always loved the selection of films that they show. I had this idea, and I actually was talking about it with. She said, “Oh, you should reach out to the Music Box,” and I was like, “I love Music Box, so that is actually a fantastic idea.” I set the meeting, and now here we are a couple months later. Rated Q is my steady, monthly event.
