“You only get one shot at fame.”

Drama

The story of Valerie Solanas, a '60s radical who preached misandry in her "SCUM" manifesto. She wrote a screenplay for a film that she wanted Andy Warhol to produce, but he repeatedly ignored her. So she shot him.

VIBE

A raw, unsettling dive into the mind of a radical outsider. It feels like a fever dream of 60s counterculture, exploring alienation and the desperate search for artistic recognition. Provocative and disorienting.
