Synopsis
The guitarist in the hard rock band BULLET, Hampus Klang, lives in the Swedish countryside and when he gets off the band's somewhat legendary tour bus, he has completely different interests. He raises chickens, and competes with them at shows where the hope lives for really high scores. Maybe he should start shampooing the chickens before the next competition? His ambitions extend so far that he creates his own breed, Party Queens, who are of course some kind of hard rock chicken. Party Queens is a warm documentary about living your dream, about a man who stylishly finds his happiness in two completely different worlds... which maybe aren't so far apart after all?

From the Judges
From the Judges
A heartwarming documentary that braids the world of chicken breeding with the energy of rock and roll, this short carries an original premise and a cast of interviewees who each bring an engaging, personal story to the screen. The camerawork is beautifully crafted, with visually stunning shots and thoughtful framing across both the concert and farm sequences, and the original music, written by the band itself, gives the whole piece a warm and playful pulse.
