Fame Fatale (2021)
This colorful, 80s-drenched film follows a gay working actor, Michael, who has nearly reached his wit’s end with the acting industry. After recently losing what would be his “big break,” he visits a horror fan convention to take his mind off 20 years of hardship. Little does he know, the convention isn’t exactly a safe space for aspiring actors either…and a couple snide comments from some filmmaker panelists might just make him snap.

All Eyes are on 'KIMI'.
KIMI is the main character of this film and as much as I wish it was Angela Childs played by Zoe Kravitz, it isn't.
