'Make Me Famous,' a documentary on 1980s-era East Village-based painter Edward Brezinski, debuts in NYC

"Make Me Famous," a documentary that will be of particular interest to East Village/LES residents, is making its theatrical debut.

The official recap:
A madcap romp through the 1980's NYC art scene amid the colorful career of painter, Edward Brezinski, hell-bent on making it.
