Director Peter LoGreco On Innovating With HBO’s ‘We’re Here’ & Reframing Season Finale After COVID-19 Shutdown
Matt Grobar Assistant Editor, AwardslineWhen Peter LoGreco was approached for We’re Here, he was initially reluctant to get involved, as the HBO series’ director and showrunner.Created by Johnnie Ingram and Stephen Warren, the reality series would center on Bob the Drag Queen, Eureka O’Hara and Shangela—former contestants on RuPaul’s Drag Race—following the trio on a journey across the U.S., as they recruited small-town residents to participate in one-night-only drag shows.As LoGreco notes, there was no shortage of drag-centric shows on television prior to We’re Here.
