The film features interviews with dozens of performers and artists including the burlesque icons Miss Dirty Martini and Tigger!, author and performer Marya Sea Kaminski, drag superstar BenDeLaCreme and many others. The film also includes the original song, titled "Waxie Moon" and inspired by James Bond scores. The song was composed by Eric Lane Barnes of Seattle Men's Chorus and performed by Sarah Rudinoff and Paul Rosenberg. Waxie Moon premiered in Austin and went on to screen at the Anthology Film Archives, Echo Park Film Center, and at many festivals around the world including a dozen screenings in Seattle.
