New Orleans–based singer Samantha Montgomery posted YouTube videos under the name Princess Shaw in hopes of being heard. When Tel Aviv–based online remixer Kutiman builds a song around her vocals, she goes viral, with the cameras capturing every moment of her journey toward and beyond being “discovered.” A first-rate, inspiring crowd-pleaser, Presenting Princess Shaw not only introduces a great voice but also paints an irresistible portrait of ambition, artistry, and the oddity of the Internet age. (80 mins., DCP)
