Eminem ‘STANS’ Documentary To Premiere at SXSW

Eminem famously coined the term “Stan” with his hit song of the same name. The 2000 track told the story of an obsessed fan; and now, the Shady Films-produced documentary STANS will premiere on the opening night of the SXSW London Screen Festival on June 2. The doc is directed by Steven Leckart, and according to Billboard, STANS explores the psychology behind the complex relationship between artists and the fans. The film features both Em’s devoted fans and his collaborators.

“Putting together the first-ever programme of the SXSW London Screen Festival has been a dream. We are excited to present bold new work from across the world, celebrating boundary-pushing films across documentary, animation and narrative filmmaking,” SXSW London’s head of screen, Anna Bogutskaya, said in a statement.
