Fresh off her Gotham Awards nomination for Breakthrough Actor, Rachel Sennott is an emerging star. She floored us at TIFF '20 with a breakout performance in SHIVA BABY, directed by Toronto's own Emma Seligman.

One of the greatest things to come out of the Pandemic for me was re-discovering the joys of RuPaul's Drag Race. I had been crazy about the Series when it first came out.
