At a time when celebrity mania is at its zenith, Tom DiCillo
(Living in Oblivion) delivers a high-energy, sharp-witted satire
that pokes fun at the absurd machine—paparazzi,
publicists, and stars—that manufactures fame, while also
addressing the toll it takes on those caught in its cogs.

Toby (Michael Pitt), a desperate homeless kid, insinuates
himself into the life of Les (Steve Buscemi), a hapless
paparazzo, offering to serve as his unpaid assistant. Always
game for a deal, Les adopts Toby and shows him the sleazy
ropes of party crashing, scoring goody bags, and chasing
hot tips. As Les and his cameraman cronies clamor for
photo opps, Toby falls for the reigning pop princess
K’harma. Les views Toby’s entrée into K’harma’s heretofore
untouchable realm as a chance to snap a shot and make a
buck, but Toby is genuinely smitten. When Les is unable to
control his impulses, both men grapple with the meaning of
friendship and the price of betrayal.

With a slickly written script and spot-on performances by
Steve Buscemi and Michael Pitt, Tom DiCillo astutely reveals
our own voyeuristic anxieties, while also reflecting on our
aspirations for authenticity and truth-telling in a world
obsessed with packaging the image. NY Premiere!
