Kitschy and confrontational, this dance short is a darkly playful take on the dynamics of seeing and being seen.

Lady Camden, RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 14 finalist, reflects on what compels her to dance.
“I Don’t Need a Reason” celebrates Lady Camden’s accomplished history as a ballet dancer. Oscillating between a rehearsal studio and the glamorous War Memorial Opera House Green Room, this short not only showcases the gorgeous tutu created by Kathy Scott for the runway of season 14 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, but also removes the nails, the lips, the hair, and shoes to reveal the artist behind Lady Camden.
This short film was part of a past San Francisco Dance Film Festival season. Tune in this October to see select films from the 2024 festival.
