"Billy Preston was a genre-bending singer-songwriter whose work climbed the charts, won Grammys, and saw him collaborating with fellow legends like Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin & The Beatles (even earning him the nickname "The Fifth Beatle). Yet he was battling a number of demons on-stage & off, including struggling to come to terms with his sexuality, which he'd repressed thanks to a lifetime in the church."
"From directors Fenton Bailey & Randy Barbato (a.k.a. the minds behind RuPaul's Drag Race) comes this chilling, two-part true crime doc about a gay couple who both wound up on trial after the body of another man was found buried in their basement."
February brought numerous LGBTQ+ entertainment releases to audiences, including diverse content spanning multiple genres. A coming-of-age film based on a popular pop anthem, a dramatic role for comedian Wanda Sykes, two black-and-white period pieces exploring transgressive queer narratives, a documentary about a closeted music icon, and a true-crime story from the American South all premiered trailers during the month. Notable releases include Billy Preston: That's The Way God Planned It, a documentary examining the life of the genre-bending musician who collaborated with The Beatles while struggling with his repressed sexuality throughout his career, and Murder In Glitterball City, a two-part true-crime documentary from RuPaul's Drag Race creators exploring a case involving a gay couple and a body discovered in their basement.
