Peaches Does Herself
PEACHES DOES HERSELF follows the musician Peaches through her journey
from bedroom wannabe musician to rock star. Through a selection of songs from Peaches's 4 official albums, a mythical biography
is told based on the misconceptions surrounding Peaches's image. On the advice of a 65-yearold stripper, Peaches makes music
that is sexually forthright. Her popularity grows and she becomes what her fans expect her to be, transsexual. She falls in
love with a beautiful shemale but Peaches gets her heart broken and has to realize who she really is. Described as an anti-jukebox
musical. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival 2012.
