This September, HBO continues to provide unique and cutting-edge original stories with amusing season premieres, heartwarming and thought-provoking special presentations, and the release of highly acclaimed blockbuster films.

In an attempt to regain fame, she solicits the offices of HBO and is delighted at the offer to star in their new production, “Seeing Red.” She then convinces her former producer to create a “behind-the-scenes” special chronicling the experience, and soon finds trouble when the fame and attention begin.
