How To Fake A War
Feature film directed by Rudolph Herzog, written by Tim Rice, produced by Sam Taylor, Mike Downey & Vladimer Katcharava. 2018
Starring Katherine Parkinson, Lily Newmark, Jay Pharoah & Ali Cook.
When an unexpected outbreak of peace leads to a ceasefire between Russian forces and Georgian rebels, arrogant rock star Harry Hope (Jay Pharoah) fears for the success of his heavily hyped Piece of Peace global charity concert. Desperate, he dispatches his PR consultant, Kate (Katherine Parkinson, The IT Crowd), and her naïve intern, Peggy (Lily Newmark, Pin Cushion), to create a fake war story – until the concert, at least. Things go hilariously pear-shaped when rivals take up arms for real, with Kate and Peggy caught in the middle.
