S.F.W.
“Fate made them hostages. The media made them stars.”
ComedyDrama
An alienated and misanthropic teenager gains sudden and unwanted celebrity status after he's taken hostage by terrorists where his indifference to their threats to kill him makes news headlines.
VIBE
A darkly funny, unsettling ride through media madness. It's a cynical, deadpan look at accidental fame and the absurdity of modern life, feeling both of its time and eerily prescient.
