Presenting Princess Shaw

Documentary filmmakers need luck to be in the right place at the right time. This filmmaker made some of his own luck. He started making one movie about several artists whose YouTube recording became raw material for Israel's music composer/creator Kutiman. He ended up making another film entirely about the blossoming of an undiscovered musical talent into a budding star. There's a ton of heart in this film and some of it is darned had to watch. That's the problem with raw authenticity. It's raw. Kudos to the filmmaker, to Princess Shaw, and to Kutiman. This is a worthwhile film to see.

We saw this film as part of the Camera Cinema Club series in San Jose, CA.
