Fame – you know you want it

Synopsis

This film involves three interwoven stories with the only seeming connection being the delusions of the involved leads. In the first element of the film, a hot-tempered world tennis star loses endorsement contracts when the press outs him even though he claims the report is false. In the second, a talent-less woman struggles to make it in the world of fashion design or the music video business. In the last, an animal activist runs a dog-adoption agency and has an imaginary friend who appears in a St. Bernard suit.

"FAME WHORE cuts between three interwoven stories examining our culture's lust for that elusive state when everybody knows your name. The triptych includes an all-american tennis star hounded by rumors that he’s gay, a trust fund brat on a demonic quest for celebrity and an idealized innocent so isolated he’s created a six-foot Saint Bernard as an imaginary friend.” – FILMMAKER “WITH ALL ITS RAW ENERGY AND SAVAGERY – as much the result of Moritsugu’s direction as the brilliantly outrageous performances of Friedrich and Davis – Fame Whore targets not famous people but, more sharply, fame itself.” – LA WEEKLY “FAME WHORE IS CRUDE, EDGY AND ENERGETIC, and its stars throw themselves into their roles with welcome gusto.” – LOS ANGELES TIMES “Filmmaker Jon Moritsugu is known best for his teen-angsty punk’n’roll pics MOD F*** EXPLOSION and TERMINAL USA. With his latest Fame Whore, (he) graduates from adolescent hell… THIS FILM IS EVEN FUNNIER AND JUST AS CRAZY AS HIS PREVIOUS ONES.
