MAKE ME FAMOUS MOVIE REVIEW
Writer/Director Brian Vincent presents the story of an artist community in the East Village of New York in the 1980s. Make Me Famous is about an artist community coming together and supporting each other in the pursuit of notoriety, fame, and the capability to keep buying paint and sharing their work. The primary subject of this community was a starving artist named Edward Brezinski. Peter McGough, James Romberger, Frank Holiday, Claudia Summers, Eric Bogosian, Sur Rodney Sur, and archived footage of Jean Michel Basquiat, are few of the many voices discussing Edward’s pursuit to paint and survive in the heart of the art scene dominated by experts praising Warhol and Haring. Edward’s talents go beyond the brush as he brought other artists into the community and exposed their work to the world. His passions, friendships, loves, and losses are explored in his pursuit of opportunities to create works that may one day make him a legend. Bradly and Frank duo up to discuss their own experiences with the art world, the eighties, documentaries on obscure figures, and the meaning of expression through colours on canvas.

YOUR REVIEWERS
Bradly Martin (Screener Squad, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)
Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and Eye on the prize and maybe even provide some comments of his own.
Frank Calvillo (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, What Ever Happened to Bette & Joan?)
Born and raised in South Texas, Frank currently lives in Austin and has been in love with movies ever since his father showed him some Three Stooges shorts when he was five years old. Today he loves all kinds of film, regardless of era, country, budget or genre. He believes every film has an audience and is at least one person’s favorite movie. After writing for Sight & Sound and Slackerwood, he now writes for Cinapse where his increasingly random taste in all flavors of cinema (from Rashomon to Mars Attacks!) continues to thrive. His ultimate goal is to write a script for his boyhood crush, Michelle Pfeiffer.
