- Synopsis:
Teenage Paparazzo documents the true story of the relationship between a 14 year-old paparazzo (Austin Visschedyk) and Adrian Grenier, the star of the HBO series Entourage. Inspired by a chance encounter with Visschedyk during a night out, Grenier decides to turn the cameras on the paparazzi in an effort to document this unique teenager's world. But Grenier soon finds the project turning into a personal challenge as he is forced to take responsibility for his role on his subject's life. As Visschedyk succumbs to the lure of fame, Grenier sets out to understand what makes that lure so powerful—hoping that he and Austin can find something more authentic than the relationship of mutual exploitation that now exists between them. Through interviews with people who understand both the advantages and consequences of media exposure the film contextualizes their story. From psychologists and historians to critics, fans, bloggers, and tabloid writers as well as celebrities (including Matt Damon, Eva Longoria, Paris Hilton,Alec Baldwin andWhoopi Goldberg), Grenier offers an intimate look at the paparazzi and the celebrity culture they serve — as well as the way it effects this particular teenager and his family. - Actors:
