Watched it last night, simply awesome. Adrian picks up a 1d and starts shooting with the rest of the Paps...

FYI the kid got arrested following Lohan a while back (images may or may not be work safe on this site *bikini girls*):

I looked at his pictures and they were pure crap. This type of stuff makes me sad.

^ You act like that's a bad thing for the job he does...it doesn't matter how GOOD the pic is, as long as you get it.

I saw it too and his work was actually quite good. Especially given his age (13) and the shooting conditions. They aren't exactly studio conditions.

What bugged me was the obvious pains taken to ensure that they did not show the Canon logo. In one scene Austin (The Teenage Paparazzo) had the Canon strap around his neck and you can clearly see that they stuck black tape over the logo.

All in all it was a very good film. It was refreshing to see that at least some of the stars "get it" in that they understand their business enough to know that what the paparazzi do is every bit as legitimate a part of the industry as is their own contribution.

It was no surprise to me though that Matt Damon was one of the "stars" that did not "get it."

Amazing movie. Evan Ferranza, Matthew Cook and Adrian did an outstanding job putting this project together. It was great to see some of my friends and co-workers papping. I always suspected and they always denied. Now I have proof.
That movie is the real deal and portrays the pap "mafia" accurately. I was shocked to see Ulysses/JFX actually talking on camera. He's kind of an outlaw in the pap world.

I'd love to find a torrent link for this doco. Unfortunately we don't get HBO in Australia and my searches so far have yielded nil.

This looks kind of good. I don't have HBO either, I need to find somewhere (or somebody) that could stream it.
