The first trailer has been unveiled for Luke Willis’ documentary “Lady Like,” which will have its world premiere as the closing film of BFI Flare London Lgbtqia+ Film Festival.
The film follows the story of London-born, San Francisco-based drag queen Lady Camden, Aka Rex Wheeler, as she is catapulted into the spotlight on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 14. Lady Camden struggles to manage the demands of her new international fame, while Rex is forced to come to terms with the troubling childhood he left behind in Camden which drove him to so desperately seek joy, fantasy and escape through the performing arts.
“Lady Like” is the first feature film by Willis, whose previous credits include shorts “Pool Boy” and “The Summer House,” both selected at previous BFI Flare editions. Willis produced the film along with Cookie Walukas (“Selah and the Spades”).
“I still remember the first time I met Rex and his infectiously joyful energy.

There was a lot of combativeness and aggression on his end, and I was very confused,” she told Us Weekly about not seeing the breakup coming.

Netflix's Sex Education Season 3 was confirmed by the streaming giant less than a month after Season 2 arrived.
Sex Education is officially scheduled for a third seasonal semester on Netflix!
The caustic Netflix comedy focused on levity-laced adolescent libidinous – a production of U.K. company Eleven Films – has quietly established itself as a breath of fresh air, and has enjoyed widespread critical acclaim, thus making the renewal for Sex Education Season 3 – less than a month after the January 17 release of Season 2 – unsurprising but nevertheless welcome news.
Netflix made the third season renewal announcement with a tracking-shot-centric promo in which cast member Alistair Petrie (Principal Groff) – seemingly tapped into a Rod Serling/Night Gallery mode – walks through a Moordale High art exhibition filled with framed portraits of Sex Education’s primary players such as Otis (Asa Butterfield), Eric (Ncuti Gatwa), Lily (Tanya Reynolds) and resident therapeutic matriarch Dr.
