Presenting Princess Shaw - Official Trailer

The true story of the incredible Princess Shaw and the enigmatic composer Kutiman, who discovers her from the other side of the world.

By day, Samantha Montgomery cares for the elderly in one of New Orleans’s toughest neighborhoods. By night, she writes and sings her own songs as Princess Shaw on her confessional YouTube channel. Raw and vulnerable, her voice is a diamond in the rough.

Across the globe, Ophir Kutiel creates video mash ups of amateur Youtube performers. Known as Kutiman, he is a composer, a musician, and a pioneering video artist embraced by the world of fine art. Kutiman “transforms sampling into a multimedia art”, whether at his home on a kibbutz in Israel or at a live performance at the Guggenheim in New York.

Two strangers, almost 7,000 miles apart, begin to build a song. The film unfolds as Kutiman pairs Princess Shaw’s emotional performances in a beautiful expression of generosity and compassion, revealing the bonafide star underneath and her fight to never give up on her dreams.

In theatres, on Demand, on Amazon Video and iTunes May 27th

Excellent documentary. Aside from her obvious musical talent, Princess Shaw is an exceptionally nice and likable person who has managed to not let past traumas define and limit her life. I really wish her the best in her musical and life pursuits.

I saw this at the True False film festival this past weekend. Of 18 documentaries I watched in four days, this was my favorite by far. This will be a HIT. So touching.
