Wild Geese (Short film, 2025)
What happens when you combine drag, nature, and poetry? We delve into this question in a short video inspired by Mary Oliver’s “Wild Geese.”
This collaboration by Bristol creatives features drag performers bringing their artistry to the heart of nature, embodying the vibrant, untamed spirit of the outdoors. Set against breathtaking landscapes, their captivating presence is paired with Mary Oliver’s timeless ode to self-acceptance.
We hope this piece serves as a reminder to us all to embrace our truest selves and find belonging in the beauty of the natural world.
“You do not have to be good. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.” — Mary Oliver
