DRAG REPAIR, The Movie. Makeup, Manicures, and Mayhem.

Not all heroes wear heels. Some carry glue guns and lashes.

DRAG REPAIR is a documentary film that celebrates an unsung crew of artists, stylists, and friends who work behind the scenes to support and rejuvenate the queens of Fire Island’s legendary Invasion of the Pines.

For decades, the Drag Repair team has been a vital—but overlooked—part of this iconic LGBTQ+ tradition. This film is our love letter to them. It's a story about creativity, resilience, chosen family, and the quiet power of showing up to help others shine.

We’re now in post-production, and your support will help us cross the finish line.

After three years of filming, conducting interviews, and capturing the rich texture of Fire Island’s drag legacy, we’re incredibly close to completing the film; however, one of our final hurdles is securing music licensing for several iconic songs that help bring the spirit, joy, and emotion of this story to life. These songs are essential to the film’s narrative and tone, but, unfortunately, the licensing costs are a bit beyond our budget.

With your donation, you’ll not only be helping us finish the film—you’ll be helping us secure the rights to the music that sets the soul of this documentary.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Invasion of the Pines. There’s never been a more meaningful moment to spotlight the unsung heroes who keep the magic alive.

DRAG REPAIR is more than just a film—it's a piece of queer history, a celebration of community, and a tribute to the people who do the work behind the wigs.

Thank you for helping us tell this story.
