Socks On Fire
Listen
Bo McGuire’s award-winning film is a lyrical testament to Southern women couched in the familial battle for his beloved grandmother’s throne. McGuire returned home from New York City to Hokes Bluff, Alabama to find that his Aunt Sharon—his favorite childhood relative—had locked her gay, drag-queen brother, his Uncle John, out of the family home. As a queer Southerner who is both protective and skeptical of the South, this family rupture stoked a fire within McGuire to document the place and the people he calls home. Through a series of stylized reenactments spun in with family VHS footage, McGuire documents the fluidity of identity, personality and performance in his hometown among his kin and the many women who’ve been a force in Bo’s life.
