The doc shows the random rise of a "filmmaker" who accidentally fell in with the right crowd. He then copies them to their dismay, but cranks out $30k pieces. They imply he's a fraud copying Warhol who many say was a fraud himself. Madonna had him do her latest album cover. A distillation of how it is for many "success" stories.

"My concept with this is that people follow the path of least resistance, and frequently are not happy with their lives. But if they are confronted with the idea of having to make the choice whether to obey or disobey, I think frequently they'll at least have an inner dialogue and make a choice to do things the way they think they should be done rather than the way they're told to do them."- Shepard Fairey [born 1970]
