2013 Directed by Sarah Gertrude Shapiro
Behind the scenes of a hit reality TV show, a jaded producer and a spurned beauty queen face off in mental mortal combat. One driven by cash rewards and ambition, the other clinging to her last shred of dignity. Only one can leave victorious.

Who would have thought there's such heavy politics behind the scenes of shows like The Bachelor?! Wow…
I'm not familiar with how reality TV works. Or at the very least the manipulative ways they put these series together. Usually the tones are hamy as shit and who wins who's affection by the end really doesn't concern me. I'm always in that Game of Thrones political mindset. I want my personalities to be unique, their tactics and conflicts believable and dramatic, with the right amount of substance that I'm just *in*, man. (Funny enough: these are some of the reasons I consider the 2016 US election the best reality show in years). In Sarah Gertrude Shapiro’s latest short “Sequin Raze” releasing…
Expertly applied lipstick chased by a limp, cold slice of pizza. Tiaras and sneakers are one in the same. What a brilliant 20 minute short that outclasses most full-length features.
Watched for Letterboxd Movie Night.
I wonder if behind the scenes at Masterchef Junior is as intense as this.

Intro to Letterboxd Movie Night XXXIX
I didn't pay attention from the very beginning but it seems like a fairly well acted short about drama behind a reality tv show and I'm curious to check out that Amazon Original series UnREAL based on this short.
This short film is an amazing look into the behind the scenes of reality tv (its lookin a lot like its Scott the Bachelor and Bachelorette, which — you should already know this — is a really bad show for Americans and Australians, idk if people in the UK have it) and if you’ve ever wanted to know what could really be going on behind the scenes of your current favourite “reality” show, it also shows great amount of how rough this world is, particularly in “reality” showbiz, no one cares about you, only what reaction people will get from you. Just like youtube.
