“I dated Cindy Sherman … And all I got was this documentary. Paul H-O on his film about the iconic photographer and the perils of being an art world sidekick.” Salon.com May 2, 2008 By Joy Press

“It sounds like a highbrow fairy tale: an unsuccessful artist turned cable TV host snags an interview with one of the world’s most reclusive and glamorous art stars, Cindy Sherman — and the two fall in love. This is what actually happened to Paul Hasegawa-Overacker, aka Paul H-O, who uses it as the premise for the documentary he co-directed, ‘Guest of Cindy Sherman.’ But to cling too tightly to that romantic story line is to seriously misrepresent this movie, which is screening this week at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York and is slated to run eventually on the Sundance Channel.”
