Description

An investigation into the life and death(?) of Detroit-born Edward Brezinski, a charismatic Lower East Side painter on the fringe of success, who thwarted his career with antics that roiled NYC's art elite. Make Me Famous reveals a unique snapshot of the 1980s art explosion while unearthing the truth of Brezinski's mysterious death in the Cote d'Azur. This madcap romp is an intimate look at the art world's attitude towards success and failure, fame and fortune, notoriety and erasure. Filmed in NYC, Detroit, San Francisco, Ireland, Berlin and France.

   

Join director Brian Vincent, producer Heather Spore, composer Jeremiah Bornfield and art critic/film subject Lenny Kisko for a Q&A at the Wednesday, February 1 screening. Moderated by Moe “Noam” Rosen.
