Drew Starkey's new film Queer is an adaptation of William S. Burroughs’s semi-autobiographical 1985 novel.

Starkey has been on a journey of introspection since he was cast in the film well over a year ago .

The star of Netflix 's Outer Banks and teen films like Love , Simon reintroduces himself here with a rich, complex, and brave performance.

The actress lost 30 pounds for her role in the film, which is based on a mid-century period setting.

She says she was nervous about the sex scenes, but there was no trepidation.

The last day of shooting was the final scene you see in the movie, she says.

This year , I definitely got happier with myself. The past five years or so it’s been fast-paced and always going.

The strike happened and I felt incredibly disembodied. I actually thought about Burroughs in that time, and his relationship with what he calls the ugly spirit.
