Thanks to High Octane Pictures, we’ve got an exclusive clip from writer-director Steven Jay Bernheim’s mockumentary Reality Queen, which sees newcomer Julia Faye West leading a cast that also includes Denise Richards, Mike Tyson and the late John Witherspoon; check out the clip and trailer here…
In the tradition of Best in Show and A Mighty Wind, and inspired by today’s obsession with reality TV and social media stars, writer-director Steven Jay Bernheim’s clever mockumentary fixes on a Paris Hilton-esque heiress named “London” (newcomer Julia Faye West) who is struggling to regain fame after being pushed out of the limelight by three Kardashian-type sisters named “The Kims.” London’s life is a self-indulgent maelstrom of product endorsements, talent managers, pet psychics, private jets, fashion shows, yachts, and a celebrity posse. Despite her wackiness, she ultimately makes it back to the top of the heap. This parody of America’s infatuation with fame raises the question: are these celebs-for-no-reason marketing geniuses, or are they just the accidental beneficiaries of the American public’s stupidity?
Reality Queen is set for release in theaters on January 10th 2020.
