SO! Here’s something that picked up love at the Sundance Film Festival recently and today I wanted to share the great trailer for Patti Cake$, an unusual story of the rise to fame for rapper Patricia Dombrowski, a.k.a. Killa P a.k.a. Patti Cake$.
Directed by first-time feature filmmaker Geremy Jasper, it stars Danielle Macdonald as the aspiring musician in a way you’ve not really seen before. The film co-stars Bridget Everett, Siddharth Dhananjay and Mamoudou Athie. Here’s a little official synopsis and that great trailer:
Set in gritty strip-mall suburbia, PATTI CAKE$ chronicles an underdog’s quest for fame and glory with humour, raw energy and unforgettable beats.
PATTI CAKE$ arrives in UK cinemas in on 1st September 2017 following its UK premiere as the closing night of Film4 Summer Screen at Somerset House on August 23rd – More details on that here:
This is screening at our local film fest next weekend. The trailer makes me want to check it out.

Please do! Quirky in nature I’m sure but the trailer works well to get the intrigue going.
