MINI SUPREME (2015) by Michael Phillis @ Palm Springs International Shortfest.

SYNOPSIS Jeremie has a hard time being a grown-up. When his childish behavior gets him fired from his stuffy corporate job, he hatches a plan to use immaturity to his advantage. Enlisting the aid of Dominika, his dour Russian landlady, Jeremie sews, preens, plucks, and bedazzles himself into “Jennie Jo,” a seven-year-old pageant princess with a (fictional) growth disorder. Disguised as mother and daughter, Dominika and Jeremie infiltrate the Darling Diamond Divas Pageant for a chance at the $5000 cash prize. But the pageant world is more cutthroat than Jeremie imagined: with devilishly dishy moms in the crowd and a cute but ruthless Pageant Pro onstage, he'll need more than perfect hair and a glitz dress to survive. Armed with unexpected wisdom from a fellow underdog, Jeremie sets out to win the Ultimate Grand Supreme title and grow up a bit in the process.
