The film treatment/screenplay by Michael AJ Jordan for Aliens vs Drag Queens creatively combines science fiction and drag culture. It's a mashup that plays on the juxtaposition of otherworldly creatures and the flamboyant, artistic expression of drag. 

Sci-fi with a twist:

The concept blends traditional sci-fi themes (alien invasion) with the vibrant, inclusive world of drag, suggesting a unique and humorous take on the genre. The screenplay also pays homage to sci-fi classics including Star Trek, Lost in Space, Battlestar Galactica, Aliens and Star Wars.

Main Characters:

The three main characters are drawn straight from Ru Paul’s Drag Race and provide non-stop comedy while also delivering poignant messages about inclusion, discrimination and acceptance.

Drag as a force for good:

Aliens vs Drag Queens positions drag performers and LGBT community members as heroes who can save the world from an alien threat.

It highlights the power and creativity of the drag community, suggesting that their unique skills and aesthetics could be key to overcoming the alien threat. Most importantly, it emphasises how differences can be celebrated rather than feared.

LGBT representation:

The theme emphasizes the importance of LGBT representation in media, especially in sci-fi, and celebrates the intersection of queer identities with creative expression.

Already attracting support:

Both in Australia (where the writer/creator resides) and internationally, Aliens vs Drag Queens is gaining attention/support. Notable persons in the industry include: Writer/Producer Frank Spotnitz, Filmmaker: Adam Elliot, Ru Paul’s Drag Race Winners: Trinity the Tuck and Kitamean, as well as a large number of drag performers and prominent people within the LGBT community.

Overall, Aliens vs Drag Queens is a creative concept that combines elements of science fiction, drag performance, and LGBT representation. It suggests a fun and imaginative world where the fabulousness of drag can triumph over even the most otherworldly threats.
