MQFF: Drax
MQFF proudly unveils Drax, a seductive reimagining of the vampire myth through a boldly queer lens
Drax, a centuries-old vampire hiding in plain sight, spends his nights painting and resisting the urge to feed. But when he meets Marcus, a magnetic young skater, the lines between hunger, desire, and connection begin to blur.
Director James Demitri reinvents the classic Anne Rice-style vampire confession, grounding it in the streets of Sydney. Drax was shot on location in spaces marked by the history of violence against gay men, now reclaimed in a story where the hunter is unapologetically queer.
