Ellie Angelos is a talented nine-year-old actress who initially plays a supporting role on the adult hit drama Keeping it Together. Inexplicably, Ellie’s character becomes the most popular character on the show, and the scripts are rewritten to exploit her popularity. The newfound success begins to go to Ellie’s head. Her forty-something mother, Maria, recognises the dangers early, and battles to keep Ellie grounded, and their small family together. This is when a documentary team decides to make a documentary series about Ellie, charting the trappings of child stardom. Alternating between straight narrative and documentary-like interviews, Little Diva Rising is a mockumentary satire about success, family, and the darker desires in life.
