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 "real fake" all girl rock band. They have the attitude, the passion and the drive…all that's missing is the talent. Pioneering the uncharted territory of "real fake" bands, and creating a new movement in the music business, The Devil Cats do everything a real band does—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."
