S.F.W.

Synopsis

S.F.W. follows the story of Cliff Spab, played by Stephen Dorff, who becomes an overnight celebrity after surviving a hostage situation at a convenience store.

As Cliff navigates his newfound fame, he grapples with the superficiality of society and the loss of personal privacy. The film delves into themes of media manipulation, celebrity culture, and existential crisis as Cliff struggles to find meaning amidst the chaos. With a blend of dark humor and social commentary, S.F.W. is a satirical take on the cult of celebrity in the 90s.
