How To Be A Model (a 12 step plan) PG

Following the work and life of international model Peggi Lepage, from New York to Paris and Toronto, filmmaker (and ex-model) Allison Beda demystifies the modeling profession by mapping out the 12 steps on the road to success! But modeling is addictive and Beda herself is drawn back in to the world of her subjects, re-experiencing firsthand its allure, but also its pitfalls. Drawing on interviews with agents, former models and even Peggi's mother (who is protective, but supportive) Beda ultimately tests the limits of Peggi's resolve. Their divergent perspectives begin to drive a wedge in their relationship and Peggi threatens to withdraw from the project. -The end result is a revealing guide to being a model, filmmaker and friend- (Diane Burgess, Vancouver International Film Festival)
