Episode notes
Filming The Motel In Drag
- Trixie Mattel says she filmed much of Trixie Motel in drag and treated reality bits as performative sketches.
- She balanced renovation work with her touring and business commitments while using real funds to buy and renovate the property.
Don't Rely On Production Cash
- Expect production deals to provide trades, not large cash allotments for renovations.
- Negotiate and plan your own budget because sponsorship product swaps rarely cover full costs.
Budget For Real Renovation Costs
- Expect renovation shows to not cover real costs; brands often provide product trades, not cash.
- Plan a real budget because production seldom gives a large wire transfer to spend freely.
