Join the Vancouver Queer Film Festival and CBC Vancouver in conversation with Sheldon Lynn, Quarter-finalist on Season 4 of the Great Canadian Baking Show, and a member of Vancouver’s all-Asian drag dynasty, House of Rice. Join us and CBC’s Isabelle Raghem as we talk through being queer on reality television and bringing your full self into the spotlight.
Sheldon Lynn
Baking is one of Sheldon’s many creative outlets. He’s fascinated by baking’s technical details and loves the challenge of blending the flavours of his ancestral province of Szechuan with traditional western recipes. When not working on his bread recipes, he has channeled his artistic talents into perfecting the look of his drag alter-ego, Pangolin, a member of an all-Asian drag family.
