Happy in the Valley
Narrative Synopsis
Once a rock star photographer, Stewart Fox's years of drug and alcohol abuse have relegated him to shooting erotic photos of model/actress wannabes out of his home to make ends meet. In a desperate attempt to get back into the spotlight, he hires a struggling art student to turn the camera on him for a self-published autobiography. But with so many sordid stories and complicated characters pressing buttons all around him, eventually something is bound to snap.
