The Fan
An obsession gone mad.
Directed by Eckhart Schmidt
Produced by Barbara Moorse Workshop
A dark psychological descent into obsessive fandom, where a teenage girl's idol worship spirals into violence and delusion when reality shatters her fantasy.
The hero-worship that Simone has for a pop singer is built to a crescendo until she passes out when she finally sees him up-close in a crowd of fans. She is later shocked when he lets her know that he does not love her.
