Each Other Films Unveils Slate With Folklore Epic, Drag Documentary

by jummy84 November 3, 2025
written by jummy84

Seven years after its launch, Taiwan-based Each Other Films is stepping into an expanded phase of international production, with co-founder and head producer Jacqueline W. Liu and co-founder and CEO Tiffany Yu-Chia Chen unveiling a diverse lineup that stretches from documentary to big-budget action.

The quartet of projects represents a widening scope for the Taipei company, which has steadily built credentials through festival selections, streaming deals and local box office success since 2017.

Among the newly revealed titles is a documentary about drag performer Pangina Heals, a figure who bridges Taiwanese and Thai cultures. The film, titled “Heals,” represents the company’s initial move into factual storytelling through international partnership, working alongside Thailand’s N8 and World of Wonder.

Fiction projects include Henry Tsai’s first directorial effort, “Spent Bullets,” adapted from short stories by Taiwan writer Terao Tetsuya. Production will span multiple cities including Silicon Valley, Las Vegas and Taipei. The film has secured spots at both Golden Horse Film Project Promotion and Taiwan Creative Content Fest 2025.

The company is also returning to a proven property with a fresh chapter in its hit “The Accidental Influencer” franchise. Centered on the character Red, “The Accidental Influencer: Love Me If You Dare” will launch next January on both GTV and Netflix, bringing back the series with additional cast members and storylines focused on contemporary relationships.

Perhaps the most ambitious entry is “The Odd Three: Madam Tiger,” which director Joseph Chen-Chieh Hsu (whose credits include “Little Big Women” and Tokyo-bowing “Double Happiness”) is developing as a large-scale adventure that reinterprets traditional folklore through a modern lens. The project is being positioned as a potential launching point for additional character-driven stories across the region.

“I’ve always believed that a story rooted in a specific place, language, or authentic human connections can still move people everywhere,” said Liu. “That’s the power of cinema — it turns the personal into the universal. As we enter this next phase, I’m excited to expand what that means, especially across genre, scale, and collaboration.”

“Building a production company means knowing where you want to go, and choosing the right stories and people to take you there,” added Chen. “We’ve spent the past seven years building trust — with creators, with partners, and with each other. Now, we’re ready to scale. The future of Asian storytelling is global, and we’re here to be part of that shift.”

The company’s previous work includes the 2020 theatrical release “Little Big Women,” which topped the Taiwan box office that year and earned recognition at the Golden Horse Awards before landing on Netflix. More recently, “The Accidental Influencer” became an HBO Asia original in 2024, while “Dreams in Nightmares” played Berlin’s Panorama section this year. “Penguin Girl” opened last year’s Kaohsiung Film Festival.

Operating under a mission statement emphasizing female perspectives and universal connection, Each Other Films continues developing its pipeline while pursuing additional partnerships across borders.

Ari Fletcher Claps Back After Trolls Drag Her For Homecoming Post

Ari Fletcher had the internet popping OFF recently when she asked “Why are grown adults at college homecomings?” The post quickly went viral online with tons of folks weighing in and clocking her. Well now, she has spun the block to clear the air, and whew, she caught every bit of shade that came her way!

Ari Fletcher Responds After Folks Online Drag Her Over Homecoming Question

If you’ve been out the loop, let us put you on game real quick! Ari hopped on X (formerly Twitter) recently asking why grown folks still pop out at college homecomings. She made it clear it was genuine question since she didn’t go to a big college. But chile, her post got people in their feelings, especially with HBCU homecoming season in full swing.

For context, Ari wrote, “Why are grown adults at college homecoming? Is that normal? I’m genuinely asking because I didn’t go to a big college that did stuff like that. But it seems so off. I thought that was for the kids in school event.” Now she’s addressing everyone who felt a way and dragged her over the question. In clips shared by LiveBitez, she clocked all the shade, reminding folks that nobody has ever checked her in person. Then she called out the haters, saying it’s lame to post videos on social media complaining about somebody they don’t even know.

“You b*****s is not like that. Like stop talking about me! Stop speaking on me! Like for real, go do something. Did you go to college?” Ari said in the clip.

The Internet Isn’t Letting Up On Ari

Over in The Shade Room’s comment section, folks still wouldn’t let up on Ari. Some told her to just take the L, while others said she needs to own up and take accountability.

Instagram user @jazzolina wrote, “She seems triggered because people called her out. It’s okay do be wrong. Take accountability.” 

Instagram user @thatssolizz wrote, “All these days later and the comments still bothering her? It’s time for everybody to move on.” 

While Instagram user @j_zz_27 wrote, “She could’ve asked ChatGPT 😂” 

Then Instagram user @shesthatforeign wrote, “I believe the people who spoke on it actually did go to college 😂😂” 

Another Instagram user @reecycups wrote, “She asked a question on the World Wide Web… and she didn’t like the response. 🤣 Anywho I HAD A TIME AT MY HBCU Homecoming! 🦅” 

While another Instagram user @mrssana76 wrote, “Girlllll just take the L😂😂” 

Then another Instagram user @selfmade_guy wrote, “I’m just wondering, do she have anyone in her circle who went to college 😂” 

Lastly, Instagram user @eyez wrote, “How does someone who didn’t graduate question others about their graduation status 🤔” 

Ari Said What She Said & She’s Standing On It!

Even though Ari hit trolls with a full video response, she previously clapped back once her question started going viral. When she first peeped the shade she told folks, “Yall offended cause I made y’all feel old. I was just asking. Big and mad, literally.” Then when a social media user called her out saying, “You’d rather be Narcissistic, instead of saying you were wrong.” Ari added, “Wrong for what? Asking a question?”

Ethan/Utica on Being First Drag Race Queen on Show

by jummy84 September 28, 2025
written by jummy84

For RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Utica Queen, Project Runway was always in the cards. 

Fans of the RuPaul-hosted reality series know the talent Utica, aka Ethan Mundt, possesses with a sewing machine. His sleeping bag gown created during season 13’s Bag Ball shook the show’s audience in 2021, and is remembered as one of the best design looks created on the set of RuPaul’s Drag Race. 

It was only a matter of time before Mundt would hop over the pond, so to speak, and appear on the design competition show. “Project Runway has been on my radar for a while,” Mundt tells The Hollywood Reporter, acknowledging the landmark decision to cast a well-known personality from outside of the franchise. 

“This is the first opportunity that a queen from RuPaul’s Drag Race gets to go and showcase the work, to actually showcase what a queen can do,” he adds. “Of course, I was nervous to be judged as just a queen from Drag Race. But I think that I came in and really gagged them a bit.”

Below, Mundt reflects on the first-of-its-kind reality TV crossover, which of his Project Runway looks he hopes to be remembered for, if he thought about showing up to the season 21 finale in drag and if RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars lies in Utica’s future. 

***

Let’s back up to the very beginning. Did you apply to appear on Project Runway, or were you approached to potentially join the cast?

Project Runway has been on my radar for a while, but I got into this cycle of making things for Drag Race and doing commission work. I always thought that Project Runway would be so fun and an amazing journey. But I was approached by the show, and when that happened, I was like, “Oh yes, it is time.” But of course, I went through all the hurdles that a contestant will go through — the psych evals, the interviews, showing off the work and just being really present amongst the casting process. I went through the waiting game, and then they gave me the final call. So it was a little bit of both — a little bit of reaching out and a little bit of just going through all the hoops to make it happen.

When the opportunity arose to appear on Project Runway, did you worry or hesitate that you could potentially be treated differently by contestants or judges because of your history on RuPaul’s Drag Race?

We go into this process with preconceived notions of our work and our personality, but I think walking into the room and having other contestants who have been in the same boat, like Jesus and Caycee [who previously appeared on earlier seasons of Project Runway], and when we found out later in the season that Veejay was also on [Project Runway Philippines], it felt like, “Oh, this is our second shot to really make it happen.” And in a way, it kind of felt like an all-star season. This is the first opportunity that a queen from RuPaul’s Drag Race gets to go and showcase the work, and not just be a talking head anymore, but to actually showcase what a queen can do. So, of course, I was nervous to be judged as just a queen from Drag Race. But I came in, and I think I really surprised not only the audience but the contestants and the judges to really showcase something so special on that runway. I think that I came in and really gagged them a bit.

This is the first time that someone from RuPaul’s Drag Race has gone on Project Runway. Now that you are embedded in the history of these two beloved reality shows, what does that feel like?

Of course, it’s a big honor, and I’m really gagged that this opportunity has not happened yet. There is such a rich world of drag designers and drag artists that are just creating beautiful pieces and inspiring fashion. So, it’s amazing. I really hope this opportunity opens the doors for other drag designers and drag artists to continue to make and be a part of the story. I’m hoping to see some of my [drag] sisters or other designers on the show, and just really put their stamp on the world and change the fashion community [with] something a little bit more boisterous, a little bit more loud, a little bit more experimental. As our country moves into states of chaos right now, we need art to really pave the way, to bring hope. It’s a big honor to be a part of this narrative, especially right now and what’s happening in the world.

Season 21 had a fully queer top three. What does that mean for you, not only to make it to the finale of Project Runway to show your first collection, but to be surrounded by this particular group of queer designers, given the current political climate?

It’s fabulous. Showing off all this queerness is definitely what we need right now to show that we can rise through adversity and make it out on top. It’s the moment. It’s what the world needs to see that is just a big, special moment to say, “Fuck you to the powers that be,” that queer people can come out on top and create beautiful work along the way. And you know, being a queen and being queer is a political statement in itself. So I’m glad that through art, we’re already making waves.

You won the first and last challenges of the season. What does that signify to you about your growth on Project Runway?

I think I made the show into my sandwich (laughs). Start the competition out with a bang, and just have a fabulous time through it. And then to end it with such a bang, I think is every designer’s dream who wants to go on the show. It makes it reality. It’s really amazing to be able to say that I came in and gave it my all and gave them a great go, and I gave them equally as great clothes.

On Drag Race, your sleeping bag look is a standout piece you’re known for. Which look from your time on Project Runway do you hope to be remembered for?

I think I have the privilege to say that there have been a few. Of course, the cape [from the premiere], the athleisure with the red stripe, the avant-garde [Wicked challenge], my butterfly [unconventional challenge] look, right? Starting the competition off with a bang with the cape and then moving right into killing the athleisure [challenge] was just insane. To be able to say I have a few notable looks is really special.

With your finale collection, you utilized a male model. Did you ever think about potentially casting drag queens as your models?

Of course. I did ask for trans women, drag queens, men that I could put into drag. But we got a few male models, some of them could walk, some of them could not. From what I got to pick, I feel like I got a really good squad of people that have supported me throughout the competition. And unfortunately, the finale was only five days prep, so as much as I would have loved to put some of my characters in drag, [timing] did not allow to make that happen.

You showed up to one of the runways in full drag as Utica instead of Ethan. You have since revealed that production asked you to show up in drag. Did you think about coming to the finale in drag as Utica, or were you set on presenting yourself as Ethan for your final moment on Project Runway?

I did consider going to the finale drag. I had the look already, but girl, [it was] so hectic. And then also, I’ll be honest, with the crazy critiques and everything that happened for the denim [challenge when I showed up in drag], I approached them afterwards, and I was like, “I did not come on this show to have my character critiqued in this way. Critique the clothes, critique the moments of the show, but I will not gift my art of being presented in drag, which takes a lot of time — I have to get up early, it’s inherently uncomfortable.” And I never got the air that they were going to shift their point of view in that regard, so I did not gift them with being in drag again. But it was so crazy. In a way, I’m kind of glad that I did [not come in drag], because hand sewing my model into her dress at the end, I don’t know if I could have done it in drag.

Given this newfound explosion in your career as a designer, does this mean that Utica and performing in drag is potentially going to be sidelined, or are you still equally as focused on drag while also expanding your work as a designer?

I definitely want to continue both avenues. I have the bandwidth for both. Utica informs the clothes, so I think that I would love to continue both energies as I move forward. And I mean, both of them sign checks, so I would love to keep the energy going (Laughs).

Do you think that having competed on Project Runway and moving into a different reality show with a different network could prohibit you from returning to Drag Race for an All Stars season? Are you even open to going back to All Stars in the future?

I would love to go back to All Stars. I definitely want to let Project Runway cook and take advantage of the opportunity and not under-saturate it, because it’s such an incredible moment for the drag community to be on this show. But, I would not say no to an All Stars opportunity. I think there is room for someone like me to come back with getting the blaze in and just create a fabulous moment on All Stars after all of this. There are so many queens that branch out to do different things from Drag Race, and Drag Race is one of the reasons why my career has become what it has. I would love to go back and really just create a beautiful moment when the time is right.

What reality show will you go on next? You have RuPaul’s Drag Race and Project Runway under your belt. What’s next?

I would love another making show, whatever that may be, like Next in Fashion, if they ever bring that back, or Making the Cut. Or I would love to be a model on Project Runway. To come in and have [designers] fight over my Polaroid would be so sickening, or even a judge on the show. I think that would just be fabulous to be a part of the franchise in a different way, rather than being a contestant. 

Looking back at Project Runway season 21, what do you think is the number one thing you’ve learned that you will take away from this experience as a designer?

My special brand is things that are off the beaten path and a little loud. Getting the critique that my things are too draggy is fine. I’m pushing the envelope, doing things that are new, and I’m really going to take with me that I can create a special moment on the runway and include everybody’s bodies into the narrative. I think I’m trusting myself throughout this whole competition, and I’m going to continue to do that into the fashion world. I am leaving the competition without any restraints from the show. I’m gonna do nothing but grow from the experience. And for my first whack at Project Runway, I think I killed it.

Describe your Project Runway experience in one word.

Showstopper.

'RuPaul’s Drag Race' Lighting Designer on Keeping Production in LA

‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Lighting Designer on Keeping Production in LA

by jummy84 August 25, 2025
written by jummy84

I am a Los Angeleno, born and raised, and I admired the entertainment industry even before I was a part of it. I’ve been fortunate to build a successful career in Los Angeles as a Lighting Designer, contributing to some of the most exciting and high-profile projects of the past 35 years. From scripted series to live telecasts to reality competition shows, I’ve worked alongside incredibly talented people, making magical moments. I love what I do, the people I do it with, and the city we call home.

For the past five seasons I’ve served as Lighting Designer on the technicolor explosion of artistry and self-expression that is “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” which has been proudly made in Los Angeles since 2009. At a time when productions are increasingly leaving Los Angeles, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” has remained firmly planted, holding onto its LA roots and much of the dedicated crew who helped build the iconic show.

Many of us have worked in production for decades. We’ve come up through the ranks, mentored by veterans who shaped this industry and were lighting stages with carbon arcs and tungsten sources. Our crew includes gaffers and key grips whose parents, and even grandparents, were in the industry. We’ve got camera operators who started out as PAs in the early days of reality TV, and passionate, young talent—many making the move to Los Angeles to break into the business— who hope this will be the first of many projects in a lifelong career. We’re the kind of workers who have long formed the backbone of this industry town: generational, skilled, and deeply invested in its future.

The work is hard, the pace is fast, and the expectations are high. Each week “RuPaul’s Drag Race” delivers something spectacular, whether it’s a Broadway-style musical, a scripted acting challenge, a high fashion photo shoot, or a lip sync smackdown for the ages, we’re constantly raising the bar. We are artists who want to create something timeless—a moment that people will remember, and that might even change their lives.

That level of creative ambition is made possible because of LA’s unmatched production ecosystem: the best crews in the business, cutting-edge rental houses, experienced collaborators, versatile sound stages, and reliable industry partners. These local, world-class resources allow us to be bold, flexible, and efficient.

Much of the success of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” can be credited to World of Wonder’s commitment to producing the long-running series in Los Angeles. They’ve proven there is no better place to make award-winning, culturally resonant television than right here at home. Their continued investment in LA’s production community not only helps sustain jobs and businesses, it preserves the legacy of craftsmanship, collaboration, and creative excellence that defines this town.

Production is in LA’s DNA. Let’s keep it that way.

From Superman villain to ageing Drag Queen

From Superman villain to ageing Drag Queen

by jummy84 August 20, 2025
written by jummy84

20 August 2025

In a heartfelt statement from his family, Terence Stamp was confirmed dead at the age of 87 on August 17th.

Terence Stamp

He left behind “an extraordinary body of work, both as an actor and as a writer, that will continue to touch and inspire people for years to come”.  

With almost 100 credits to his name as an actor, director and writer, Terence Stamp’s career spanned six decades. 

Most notably, Stamp starred as General Zod in the Superman movies. 

Stamp, however, was more than a star in Richard Lester’s comic flick; he was a Golden Globe winner, Oscar nominee and one of Empire’s 100 Sexiest Film Stars of all time. 

Here is the life and career of the late, great Terence Stamp. 

Young star and the roaring 60s. 

Born July 22nd 1938, Terence Stamp grew up in London during the Second World War and lived through the Blitz. 

Stamp won a scholarship to train at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art, where he met a rising star with a cockney accent, Michael Caine. 

In 1962, at 24 years old, the East London native made his silver screen debut in Peter Ustinov’s Billy Budd, a failed adaptation of Herman Melville’s book of the same name. 

His performance as the titular character garnered Stamp international recognition as well as an Academy Award nomination. 

During the era of Babydoll dresses, berets and Beehive hairdos, Stamp collaborated with some of the most revered filmmakers. 

The Oscar nominee starred in William Wyler’s The Collector (1965), Joseph Losey’s Modesty Blaise alongside Samantha Eggar (1966), John Schlesinger’s Far from the Madding Crowd (1967) and featured in Julie Christie’s first film, Poor Cow (1967) 

Stamp was even offered the role of James Bond before Sean Connery broke into movie history as 007. 

While Connery was undeniably charismatic as MI5’s best agent and, to some, a perfect embodiment of the character, it would have been interesting to see if Stamp took his martini shaken or stirred.

A Villainous Calling 

As the 1970s began to wrap up, Stamp appeared in his most iconic role to date. 

He transformed into one of Superman’s nemesis and greatest challenge – General Zod. 

Delivering one of the most terrifying line deliveries as the supervillain, Terence Stamp’s “Kneel before Zod” edged him into comic book movie history. 

Superman II (1980) is when Stamp fully gave into his supervillainous ways and delivered a frightening performance as Superman’s greatest enemy in Christopher Reeve’s second instalment as the Kryptonian. 

Stamp’s stellar performance was praised by critics, with his turn as General Zod appearing in numerous articles on the best villains of all time. 

A Drag Queen to Remember 

After his turn in the comic book film industry, Stamp began to take on more unconventional roles in the 1990s, famously starring in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. 

The movie, based on real-life events, follows two drag queens (played by Hugo Weaving and Guy Pearce) and a transgender woman as they journey across the Australian Outback. 

His performance as Bernadette Bassenger, the ageing Drag Queen, won Stamp a BAFTA nomination. 

Grossing over $37 million, the movie was an Australian box office hit and received critical acclaim, with Stamp’s portrayal credited for its success. 

Terence Stamp’s career is one that many actors would dream of, one full of box office hits, critical acclaim and most importantly, one that transcended the 60 years he spent on screen.
