anything to avoid uncomfortable family time, right?— there’s a new, hilarious, super-queer series to check out that’s sure to keep you fed.Earlier this fall, the original comedy Off Shoot premiered exclusively on OUTtv.
From queer creator John Mark, the series is largely inspired his own experiences working in the realms of fashion and entertainment over the years, following Hollywood photographer Jack (Jackson Davis) and his young assistant Andy (Andio Manguray) on a series of high-profile shoots, each with their own challenges.That simple yet brilliant concept allows Off Shoot to evolve with each episode, with new clients and new photo subjects keeping Jack & Andy on their toes as they try to maintain some form of creative control in their demanding, money & ego-driven world.Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.“Navigating on-set power dynamics, celebrity demands, and weird clients are all the norm in one of the most competitive and economically volatile industries in the world,” Mark shares with Queerty. “Many of my personal experiences are also threaded into how Jack balances art, commerce, and his personal relationships.
The shoot-of-the-week format also means every week is a parade of fabulous guest stars and familiar faces. Drag superstar Alaska plays a highly demanding version of herself in one standout episode, while pop star Zolita does the same, trying to balance multiple dates while on set.
Get ready to get on your knees.Plus, keep an eye out for internet comedy icon Brandon Rogers, School Of Rock’s rockin’ Rivkah Reyes, Trixie Mattel’s trusty assistant Brandon Lim, and more Drag Race alum like Scarlet Envy & Rock M.
