Jamie isn’t taken seriously for his ambitions, not only because being a professional performer is a tough career, but because of his sexual orientation and dream of being a drag queen. However, Jamie isn’t letting that get in his way, and with the support of his best friend, Pritti (played by Lauren Patel), he will find the strength to embrace who he is.
Everybody’s Talking About Jamie is a film that many LGBTQ+ individuals can identify with, sheds light on questioning people, and brings awareness to the community.
