A Documentary of 1980s Manhattan's Lower East Side Art Scene, 'Make Me Famous' Raises Numerous Intriguing Questions
Briefly

Brian Vincent's documentary, 'Make Me Famous,' explores the elusive nature of fame in the art world, focusing on the overlooked artist Jedd Garet and his journey.
While Jedd Garet's paintings were once celebrated, his lack of recognition compared to peers like Basquiat and Haring raises questions about fame's fickle nature—how it can elevate some and leave others in obscurity.
Vincent's film not only spotlights the fame of those who've succeeded but also ponders the stories of those who are forgotten, reflecting on a cultural era filled with artistic vibrance.
The nostalgia for the raw creativity and turbulent experiences of the 1980s in Manhattan serves as a backdrop for questioning what it means to achieve fame in the art community.
