Keldon Duane-McGlashan’s ‘Overexposed’ is a dissection of fame, power, and the blurred morality of ambition. Produced and AD’d by Kathryn Jurbala, this thriller is a dive into the ruthless world of celebrity culture, where success is a game of survival.
At its center is Logan Price (Levi Peterson), a paparazzo with a paradoxical dream – to be on the other side of the lens. Charismatic and self-centered, he craves fame, notoriety, and the best life has to offer. The film opens with his audition self-tape, a glimpse into his restless hunger, before he grabs his camera and plunges into the LA night, prowling for his next big shot. The streets are his stage, the rich and famous his prey.
Then he captures something dangerous: a powerful actor assaulting a woman. Logan provokes, he pushes, and he pays the price. Beaten but victorious, he still holds the ultimate weapon – the image. A virtual casting call brings Logan face-to-face with the very actor he exposed. In an instant, the power dynamic shifts. Now, he holds the upper hand. It’s ruthless. It’s intoxicating. In Hollywood, it’s survival of the most cunning.
Duane-McGlashan directs with precision and bite, the offbeat yet refined style elevates ‘Overexposed’ into something hypnotic. The production quality is expertly polished. The cinematography is both raw and striking, mirroring Logan’s feverish ambition with an unsettling, captivating energy. Levi Peterson delivers an electric performance – impossible to ignore, utterly magnetic. ‘Overexposed’ is gripping, stylish, and unapologetically cynical – just like the world it reflects.
