Pregnant with a Drag Queen tells the story of a queer kid in 1990s Dublin who discovers their true identity and inner strength when they give birth to Veda—a vibrant, unapologetic drag queen icon. Through laughter and self-discovery, this inspirational journey reveals that drag doesn’t change who you are; it shows who you’ve always been.
Part surreal drama, part documentary, this film was a true passion project from start to finish. Directed by Colin Brady, it explores how Enda Mc Grattan transformed into Veda, Ireland’s legendary drag artist and HIV activist.
Winning the Virgin Media Discovers competition, in partnership with Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland, gave us the opportunity to bring this unique and powerful story to life. Blending surreal comedy with heartfelt interviews, we crafted a film that speaks to both TV and cinema audiences with an original and meaningful approach.
