In English.
Includes adult language.

A down on her luck party princess is given one more chance to keep her job after a gig goes horribly wrong.

Director's Statement

Through this film, I wanted to speak to a deeper struggle that all of us artists face: our own insecurities that our work isn’t enough. As a filmmaker and performer, I find it is so easy to fall into the trap of judging our self worth against the accomplishments of those we see around us. So in this film, through the lens of this party princess, I hope to celebrate the lesser known artists - the ones who may not be the most recognized, but whose art has more value and impact on the people around them than they know.
