Big Fan
Directed by Robert D. Siegel
Produced by Big Fan, First Independent Pictures
A darkly comic character study of obsession and delusion that traces a lonely man's psychological unraveling after a violent encounter shatters his carefully constructed fantasy.
Paul Aufiero, a 35-year-old parking-garage attendant from Staten Island, is the self-described "world's biggest New York Giants fan". One night, Paul and his best friend Sal spot Giants star linebacker Quantrell Bishop at a gas station and decide to follow him. At a strip club Paul cautiously decides to approach him but the chance encounter brings Paul's world crashing down around him.
