I Shot Andy Warhol

You only get one shot at fame.

A provocative, character-driven study of a radical outsider's descent into violence, grounded in 1960s counterculture and the psychology of rejection and rage.

The story of Valerie Solanas, a '60s radical who preached misandry in her "SCUM" manifesto. She wrote a screenplay for a film that she wanted Andy Warhol to produce, but he repeatedly ignored her. So she shot him.
