Mikey’s Army tells the story of 16-year-old Mikey Alvarez who finds himself at a pivotal moment where he must decide whether or not to be open and honest about what he is feeling inside. Not feeling quite ready for such a moment, Mikey unwittingly conjures courage from a trio of guides who appear in an explosion of glitter and glitz. Can a Drag Queen, an international pop star and an action film heartthrob tackle a mission this big and give Mikey the confidence he needs.

Mikey’s Army is a celebration of queer joy by Director Andrew Keenan-Bolger (Submissions Only, Sign, The Ceiling Fan) and writer Eric Ulloa (The Nana Project, 26 Pebbles). As queer kids face unprecedented attacks and hostility from lawmakers, educators and even their own families, we wanted to make a film that puts the beauty — and even magic — of queerness at center stage. Our team of primarily queer artists decided to make the film that we would have wanted to see growing up: one that reminds us that our differences are our superpowers, and reminds the audience that you are never alone on the battlefield.
