Jemma and Victoria called me into a Production meeting to explain that the structure of the documentary is changing. One of the main changes is that we are no longer having the contributors from the straight community. Jemma wants the documentary to tell Tanya's story and follow her as she has the story and she should be the focus. I questioned whether or not the performance will still be happening and Jemma and Victoria explained that instead of seeing if Tanya is being accepted by regular people from different communities, we're seeing whether she can be a Drag Queen and whether well established Drag Queens would agree. From this, they want to bring in 3 experienced Drag Queens to 'judge' Tanya Drag act Miss Zodie at the end of the film.
Through the rest of the film we'll be following Tanya and leading up to her first performance in front of these Queens. Potentially interviewing her family as well. From this, I'm aware that the reveal will not be a big secret so I will need to change the idea I've had for my interview, both with Tanya and also with the straight contributors (as they're no longer in the film)
