The Joker for the People

Experience the ultimate DIY parody film that reimagines a classic autobiographical coming-of-age story in a revolutionary way. Follow the journey of a timid transgender girl as she ventures to Gotham City to pursue her dreams of becoming a comedian. In this world, comedy has been banned, but she joins the cast of UCB Live - a government-approved late-night sketch show. However, her quest for fame proves challenging, leading her to team up with a group of outcasts and a captivating love interest known as Mister J. Together, they create the enigmatic character "Joker the Harlequin," a confident and slightly unhinged joker who clashes with the city's fascist superhero.

Prepare for an immersive experience with elements such as feminizing chemicals, alluring animated interludes, mind-bending encounters with scarecrow psychiatrists, a digitally enhanced Lorne Michaels, and surreal gender dysphoria. 'The People's Joker,' written, directed, edited, and starring Vera Drew, draws inspiration from her own life, turning it into a deeply personal journey that blurs the lines between documentary and parody.

Brace yourself for a star-studded cast of comedy legends who lend their voices and talent to bring a vibrant array of characters to life. Tim Heidecker from "Tim and Eric Awesome Show," the award-winning Bob Odenkirk from "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul," Maria Bamford from Netflix's 'Big Mouth' and Adult Swim's 'Teenage Euthanasia,' and Scott Aukerman, co-creator of 'Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis' and host of the 'Comedy Bang! Bang!' podcast, all make unforgettable appearances. Additionally, Emmy nominee Vera Drew (from "Who is America"), Lynn Downey (from Amazon Prime Video's 'Daisy Jones & The Six'), Nathan Faustyn ('Saddled'), David Liebe Hart from "Tim and Eric Awesome Show), Robert Wuhl (from Batman and "Arliss"), and newcomer Kane Distler as Mister J all contribute to the film's extraordinary ensemble.

Special features include English 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, optional English SDH and Spanish subtitles, multiple commentary tracks with director Vera Drew, actor Nathan Faustyn, and assorted cast and crew. You'll also get an insightful discussion with Vera Drew alongside authors Willow Catelyn Maclay and Caden Mark Gardner ('Corpses, Fools, and Monsters'), exclusive content from Queebso TV, behind-the-scenes footage, a 24-page comic book, the original theatrical trailer, and additional trailers for your enjoyment.

Immerse yourself in a truly exceptional cinematic experience with 'The People's Joker,' and prepare to be captivated by the witty and thought-provoking portrayal of iconic DC comics characters. This film is a testament to the power of personal storytelling, comedy, and the undeniable talent of the comedic geniuses involved.
