    08/22/2025 12:15 PM 08/28/2025 06:00 PM America/Atikokan Make Me Famous ART Documentary - Chicago Premiere Make Me Famous is a vibrant, fast-paced portrait of New York City’s explosive 1980s Downtown art scene—where punk met paint, and the lines between art, music, and nightlife blurred. This was the world that launched Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Madonna, and Blondie—a cultural moment defined by its grit, glamour, and DIY ethos. Amid the chaos was painter Edward Brezinski, a figure both present and peripheral, whose story offers a unique window into the era’s creative frenzy. More than a portrait of an artist, Make Me Famous captures a time and place where the dream of making it felt just within reach—and heartbreakingly out of grasp. 100% on Rotten Tomatoes Post Screening Filmmaker Q...
