On Thursday, August 1, KINO, the all-new app that’s changing the way you watch movies, will host the exclusive digital premiere of the queer dramatic thriller “Ganymede.”
Ganymede tells the dark, suggestive story of a high school senior (Jordan Dow) who falls for an openly gay classmate (Pablo Castelblanco) only to find him captive to a cruel, faceless monster. Lee tries to control his emotions while battling the intense family pressure to live up to the impossible standards set by his traditionalist family in the rural South.

The premiere will kick off with a pre-show hosted by RuPaul’s Drag Race fan-favorites Manila Luzon and Plain Jane, along with drag artist Glitterless. The screening will be followed by a live Q&A session, a chance to win props and prizes, exclusive interviews with the film’s cast and crew, and other special appearances. Attendees will also enjoy Saab’s signature vodka cocktails and mocktails to complement the experience.
Tickets can be purchased here . Proceeds from the event will benefit GLAAD and help further their mission of promoting acceptance of LGBTQ people.
“We are thrilled to bring ‘Ganymede’ to audiences in this thrilling digital premiere,” said Austin Worrell, COO and co-founder of KINO. “It has been a true honor to curate this unique digital event with such talented performers, filmmakers, and queens from RuPaul’s Drag Race, Manila and Jane, and Glitterless, and we can’t wait to share the experience with everyone.”
The live digital premiere will begin at 6pm PST on August 1, 2024. If you can’t make it to the digital premiere, you can stream Ganymede on KINO until August 3, 2024 at 6am PST.
