WHAT IS OUR FILM?
The Battle for Transmecula is a high-energy, surreal dramedy-documentary where Love Bailey and her queer chosen family fight to save their utopian Savage Ranch from a far-right podcaster and an evangelical city council hellbent on erasing them.
To outmaneuver a corrupt law, they launch a chaotic, wine-soaked scheme that tricks Temecula’s MAGA elite into funding their survival. But as their movement gains momentum, their enemies escalate, leading to a brutal raid, false accusations, and a final, high-stakes showdown between love and hate.
A neon-drenched call to action, this film fuses real-world urgency with Borat-style satire and cinematic spectacle, igniting a cultural moment that demands to be seen.
