The End of Wonderland is a feature documentary on Tara Emory, a veteran artist who works on her own terms in the sex industry. Facing a changing world and eviction from her packed studio, Wonderland, Tara must confront her family history of hoarding, her art, and herself.

"intimate and ever-so-wistful study...a classic portrait of American resourcefulness and self-sufficiency." -Guardian

"From the outside, Emory’s home looks just like any other rural American property. However, inside it’s an ultra-kitsch sex fetish film set, with flying star ships, giant robots and exploding dildo machines that would make even Barbarella blush....a playful yet probing portrait of an eccentric artist and self-proclaimed smut peddler." - BFI Flare

"a whimsical, raw trip down the rabbit hole...a window into one trans woman’s world of sex work and fantasy art that brushes up against the hoarded world she grew up in." - POV Magazine

" Refreshingly this documentary about Emory, as a trans woman, doesn’t focus on her sexual traumas....ultimately, it’s a celebration of her difference." - Screen Queens

"American transgender adult performer Tara Emory has been working for years on her “trans sci-fi porn epic” Up Uranus. With almost no budget but an inexhaustible supply of creativity, she builds her own impressive retro-futuristic sets and “testostrobots”—all with a clear nod to low-budget 1950s science fiction and lots of fun sex. The short extracts from Emory’s magnum opus are among the highlights of this unhurried portrait." - IDFA

"close to cinéma vérité with a calm which is exceptional...The music, the editing, the eye for detail: it’s all gentle. This unhurried approach is itself an argument. It tells us to not jump to conclusions, but to also take our time. Let’s sit with Emory. Let’s listen" - Business Doc Europe
