We are finally greenlit working alongside Christine Vachon, Brad Simpson and Jon Marcus. Bringing this story to the screen has taken five years. In a way it's actually been longer because we knew we wanted to make a film about Michael Alig and the club kids long before anyone murdered Angel. But it was always the same response: 'Club Kids? Who'd want to watch a film about a bunch of brats who are famous for nothing other than wanting to be famous?' it seemed to us that that was precisely why; if we think of fame as some sort of meritocracy, a reward for talent or niceness, well, we need to think again. Fame belongs to those who grab it. Michael Alig and the club kids were riffing on the absurdity of fame by turning it inside out. They became famous, absurdly, by mocking and ridiculing it.
