About the film:
Credible Likeable Superstar Role Model is a feature-length ‘pop-u-mentary’ following award-winning performance artist Bryony Kimmings and her 10-year-old niece Taylor as they try to combat the hyper-sexualised and commercialised world of pop by creating their own alternative popstar role model for Tweens.*
As uplifting as it is irreverent, this is an inspirational film for anyone who cares about the impact of the media we consume.
Credible Likeable Superstar Role Model was the recipient of the 2016 London Feminist Film Festival Audience Award.
