Teenage Paparazzo Trailer (2010)

Trailer for the documentary Teenage Paparazzo.

An official selection of the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, Teenage Paparazzo takes an intriguing behind-the-scenes look at the illusion and the reality of celebrity. Well-acquainted with fans who have trouble distinguishing real life from fiction, Grenier says it is “strange that I get all this attention because I play someone who gets all this attention.” He decides to hang out with Visschedyk and the “paps” to uncover what is going on in “a culture so fixated on fame that its children stalk celebrities at night.” Initially, Grenier thought he’d be on a journey to get back at the paparazzi for years of what he believed to be breaches of privacy, but after a while the vendetta turned into a greater exploration of how they need each other.
