We recently added Teenage Paparazzo to the DBRL collection. This film is directed by Adrian Grenier, and has received some positive reviews. Here’s a synopsis from our catalog:
An exploration of the tenuous relationship between celebrities and the people who make a living selling their images. After a chance encounter with a 13-year-old paparazzo, Austin Visschedyk, Grenier takes a step back to think about the celebrity- obsessed culture that has produced the boy. Adrian starts hanging out with the young photographer, learning the tricks of the trade, as well as what made the precocious teen want to spend his free time running around looking for celebrities.
Check out the official movie site for more info. If you’re interested in more of Grenier’s work, you can check out the TV series Alter Eco or his documentary Shot in the Dark (on order).

Sometimes funny, sometimes shocking, and always riveting, the film is a portrait of an artist at a crossroads. Defying expectations, it deftly explores notions of courage and creative reinvention, as well as the ramifications of a life spent in the public eye.
