Make Me Famous

February 20th - 23rd 2026

A madcap romp through the 1980's NYC art scene amid the colorful career of painter, Edward Brezinski, hell-bent on making it. What begins as an investigation into Brezinski’s legacy and mysterious disappearance becomes a sharp, witty portrait of NYC’s 1980s downtown art scene resulting in an irresistible snapshot of an unknown artist that captures the spirit of an iconic era.

This is not your typical artist biopic—Make Me Famous is a madcap, immersive dive into a vibrant art world, propelled by hundreds of artworks, rare photos, and never-before-seen archival footage. It captures what it felt like to be an artist in what may have been America’s last great art movement, told through the wild, obsessive pursuit of fame by a little-known but unforgettable figure.
