Guest of Cindy Sherman

Guest of Cindy Sherman

I recently saw the trailer for the film, Guest of Cindy Sherman.   Now I want to see the movie.  Why are all really interesting movies under limited or no release nationwide?  It’s like you have to have a 2 billion dollar budget and subject material that is on a 2nd grade IQ level to get a full release.

Cindy Sherman is an American photographer most well known for her series, “Untitled Film Stills”, where she placed herself as an unnamed actress in shots reminiscent of foreign films.  I wouldn’t say she’s one of my favorite photographers but her work has always stood out in my mind for being so original and personal to her.  There are a lot of amazing photographers out there that I completely forget about until one of their images pops up in front of me.  Cindy Sherman has never been one of them.

In 1993 Paul H-O started Gallery Beat, a public access television program that playfully chronicled the New York art scene.  H-O played the roll of a “Beavis and Butthead” outsider looking into the exclusive world of the art elite on Gallery Beat.

Everything changed for Paul H-O when he met Cindy Sherman.  Over the course of several interviews their relationship grew into romance and Paul found himself swept into the NYC art scene, becoming known as Cindy’s companion.
