Eventually stars burn out.

Drama

Driven by an intense need for fame and validation, members of a dysfunctional Hollywood family are chasing celebrity, one another and the relentless ghosts of their pasts.

VIBE

This film is a chilling, darkly comedic descent into Hollywood's toxic underbelly. It feels unsettling and decadent, a cynical exploration of fame's corrosive power and inherited trauma. The atmosphere is thick with psychological unease, as characters navigate a world where self-destruction is just another form of performance.
