What Is Childstar About?

The premise of Childstar without spoilers.

A wannabe auteur, used to experimental work, takes a gig as driver for a foul‑mouthed child star and his ambitious stage mother who are determined to squeeze every second out of a fleeting fifteen‑minute burst of fame. As they travel together, the filmmaker discovers how precarious that spotlight can be and how each moment forces them to confront the harsh realities of instant celebrity.
