Once a rock star photographer, Stewart Fox's years of drug and alcohol abuse have relegated him to shooting erotic photos of model/actress wannabes out of his home to make ends meet.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a claustrophobic portrait of creative decay, relying on the grimy details of a home studio and the toxic symbiosis between artist and muse. It explores the fragile ego of a man who trades artistic integrity for survival.

What lingers after the final frame is the bitter taste of compromises made and the unsettling ambiguity of its climax. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Lee Madsen
