HOW TO FAIL AS A POPSTAR

HOW TO FAIL AS A POPSTAR

VIVEK SHRAYA | CANADA | 2023 | 73 MIN | ENGLISH

Vivek, a queer brown boy from Edmonton, tries, and fails, to achieve pop stardom, told from the perspective of the now 40-something trans femme artist that boy became. What happens when a star isn’t born? An adaptation of Vivek Shraya’s hit play and subsequent book, How To Fail as a Popstar answers this question with hilarity, vulnerability, a healthy dose of imagination, and of course, music.
