Guest of Cindy Sherman -- Charting the unlikely relationship between superstar artist Cindy Sherman and public access TV host, Paul H-O, 'Guest of Cindy Sherman' is a quirky valentine to the media-shy artist and a compelling critique of the high-flying art world.

Analyzing his relationship with the reclusive artist Cindy Sherman leads Paul H-O to confront his own ego and identity in this personal and often humorous documentary.

Edward Furlong ("American History X," "Terminator 2: Judgment Day") and Emmy and Golden Globe-nominee Christina Ricci ("Speed Racer," "The Opposite of Sex") star in a delightful comedy about an 18-year-old amateur photographer from a working class neighborhood in Baltimore. When his personal eclectic photo collection is discovered by a New York art dealer, his whole life changes. The teen becomes an overnight sensation and his subjects, including his girlfriend, believe they have been exploited. Written and directed by John Waters ("Hairspray," "Pink Flamingos").

Analyzing his relationship with the reclusive artist Cindy Sherman leads Paul H-O to confront his own ego and identity in this personal and often humorous documentary. Paul H-O became a fixture of the New York art scene in the 1990s with his public access show GalleryBeat. Armed with a video camera, he attended art gallery openings, amusing some with his candid, witty assessments of their work, but also winning many fans. Among the latter was Cindy Sherman, the press-shy art superstar, who invited Paul to her studio for a series of exclusive interviews. In these videotaped sessions, he gains unprecedented insight into her artistic process and a romantic relationship blossoms. Their initial bliss ends when Paul finds himself wracked with anxiety about his own personality becoming subsumed by his role as Cindy's guest at celebrity-studded openings and dinners she regularly attends. Filmed over 15 years and including interviews with a veritable who's who of the art and entertainment world (including Ingrid Sischy, John Waters, Robert Longo, Carol Kane, David Furnish, Danny DeVito, and Molly Ringwald), the film paints a vivid picture of the New York art scene that is also a witty, illuminating look at celebrity, male anxiety, and art.
