My Take
Stephan Elliott earns my affection for a single, glorious film: The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Born in Sydney in 1964, this writer-director sent drag queens across the outback in a bus and turned it into something exuberant, tender and quietly defiant. I love that he exported Australian humor and unapologetic diversity to the world long before it was fashionable. Filmmakers who refuse to dilute their voice for the moment are rare, and his stubborn originality is exactly why I keep hoping his next project lands with the same heart.
