NYC Art & Fashion World Gets Spotlight in SHOOT ME NICELY Series
Elias Plagianos' Series Pilot Shoot Me Nicely starring John Behlmann, William Sadler, Linda Hamilton and Tasie Lawrence, is the story of a fashion photographer who loses his elite magazine job, plunging him into a downward spiral of odd jobs and celebrity chasing. A compromising photo of a politician quickly takes his life on a wild ride in his journey to return to the glitz and glam of the high-fashion world.
​
"The industry has just changed so completely. I just did a thing called “Shoot Me Nicely”… a pilot for a TV series. It was done on a shoestring budget… a real shoestring budget… and it’s going all over the world winning competition after competition after competition. I truly expect that it’s going to find a home somewhere on some network or some platform and become a series." - William Sadler
