"Lost Kitten" shines a light on acclaimed ballroom dancer/actor Sheldon McIntosh aka Tynomi Banks, the "drag name" he performs under in his native Toronto.

Sammy Rawal, director: “We shot on a small island there [in Mexico] called La Isla de las Munecas. It's only accessible by a 45-minute trip via trajinera. On our way back to the mainland to shoot the last scene, we encountered a torrential rainstorm, and our trajineras started to take on water.  The entire crew and gear were on these sinking boats, and all I could picture was bloodthirsty crocodiles and mutant anacondas waiting for us in the water. We finally approached the access point where passengers exit the boat, and the boat is lifted out of the water and over a cement barricade. As we got there, we found out that it had just been struck by lightning and we couldn't go any further.  It was incredible.”

Co-directors NABIL and Mike Piscitelli take a torture metaphor and push it all the way to waterboarding to show how Polica singer Channy Leaneagh is way too hard on herself.
