Synopsis:
Directed by Anika Poitier in her feature debut, this wildly funny mockumentary follows the rise and fall of “The Devil Cats”, LA’s first โreal fakeโ all girl rock band. They have the attitude, the passion and the driveโฆall that’s missing is the talent. Pioneering the uncharted territory of โreal fakeโ bands, and creating a new movement in the music business, The Devil Cats do everything a real band doesโ”except play music. However, opportunity knocks and changes their destiny and they are forced to learn their craft and play to a sold out music industry showcase. A hilarious riff on “keeping it real.”
