In a fantastical summer romance set to the iconic hits of the Grammy Award-winning, trailblazing Indigo Girls, GLITTER & DOOM follows the love-at-first-sight connection between carefree circus performer Glitter (Filipino star Alex Diaz) and struggling musician Doom (UK newcomer Alan Cammish). An undeniable spark throws them into a summer of camping trips, late-night conversations, and innovative song-and-dance numbers – until the real world comes calling. Their relationship is put to the test as Doom confronts the realities of finding success in the music industry and Glitter has an opportunity to run away to Paris as a circus performer. Glitter and Doom struggle to make sense of their whirlwind summer while staying true to themselves and pursuing their dreams. Punctuated by a star-studded supporting cast (including Lea DeLaria, Tig Notaro, Drag Race alum Peppermint, Ming-Na Wen, Missi Pyle, and the Indigo Girls themselves, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers), GLITTER & DOOM is a creatively ambitious, visually stunning queer musical about the power of love – and the “POWER OF TWO.”

“If Baz Luhrmann orchestrated a TikTok-inspired extravaganza overseen by Charli XCX, chances are it would look quite a bit like Glitter + Doom.”

"Tom Gustafson and Cory Krueckeberg have created another dazzlingly delightful film musical. Gustafson delivers a lot of cinematic shimmer and the musical moments soar. Cammish and Diaz provide sexy eye-candy – both have faces made for the close-up. They also give impressive performances.”

"Full of elaborately staged and spirited sequences that come alive out of passion, Gustafson seems to know exactly how to play to an audience.”
