Building an App with Django

So I'm building an app where I am querying data from a redshift database based on inputs. Since django isnt really compatible with redshift, I can't use their ORM. I'm using psycopg2 to do all my querying. I don't have a choice with the DB and I'm most comfortable with Python, so that's why I'm doing what I'm doing. I'm basically looking to create a few drop-downs, and based on what is selected, will enter those inputs to my querying function and then output the results in a table. I'm currently unsure how to populate my drop-downs and then feed those selections as variables into my querying function. Can anyone help me with this or point me into some documentation to help? I've read the django documentation a few times and am currently stuck.
