SPEIDI is a 150 minute clip compilation film that gives an in-depth look at Spencer and Heidi Pratt's antics and pursuit of fame. It uses a combination of clips from the hills, paparazzi footage, interviews to examine Heidi Montag's transformation as a person, and not just in the physical sense.

I’m Not Crazy

William Rebein

"I'm Not Crazy" is a clip compilation film comprised of clips from the internet that documents Amanda Bynes' chilling story and reveals the dark side of hollywood. Many stars are thrusted into the limelight by the time they are a teenager. But, they are under extreme pressure and never have the luxury of making a mistake without receiving criticism from the media. The paparazzi are aggressively destroying the well being of these stars and eliminating all aspects of their privacy. My goal in making the films was to create awareness on their story and prove that they are not crazy, and have deeply suffered. People are so quick to judge these stars and call them crazy when they don't take the time to understand their story. Their environment is very sick and they deserve more sympathy than the cruel treatment they have received over the years.

Famous For Being Famous is a 150 minute found footage compilation film comprised of clips from the internet (archive interviews and paparazzi clips) showcasing Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian's meteoric rise to fame. In 2005, Paris Hilton was the most googled item in the world and defined what it means to be a celebrity in the new millennium. Today, Paris has launched her brand on an international level while Kim Kardashian has dominated US headlines and amassed 50 million Instagram followers. Our culture has always been fascinated with elite members of society, but with the power of social media and reality television, more people than ever can obtain fame. Why is our culture so obsessed with these figures? Are the Kardashians destined to fade into obscurity or will they be able to turn their "15 minutes of fame" into 30?
