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 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 also stars Denise Richards, Mike Tyson, and the late John Witherspoon. It will be available on DVD and Digital as well as in select theaters across America from January 10th.
