Drama Queenz is a comedy about three actors and roommates dealing with life, love, and auditioning in New York City. Told over three episodes, the film explores the lives of these three actors as they attempt to achieve their dreams in a kooky and unpredictable world. Each ten-minute episode focuses on Jeremiah, a dreamer with ridiculously poor audition luck, Davis, a perfectionist whose hard work produces uneven results, and Preston, a realist whose inhibitions stir-up delightful "drama" for all to enjoy. Through madcap auditions, burgeoning romances, and heartbreaking realizations, the trio from Queens takes viewers on the zany rollercoaster ride that is the actor's life.
