A story of two people on opposite sides of the self-absorption spectrum.
Ireland Rochelle feels as if she will collapse from her current case of social anxiety. Stemming from a humiliating event in her past, she suffers from the disorder with a graceful façade while attending the premiere and parties of her first major motion picture. An up-and-coming actress on an incompatible career path, she spends the dreadful evening calming her symptoms of trembling, breathlessness, and nausea. Although she adores her craft, the demands of promoting projects send her into a panic. Sickened by scrutiny and petrified of criticism, she does her best to creep along the contradictory line between gaining success and remaining unknown. The last thing she needs is Ideal Morris pursuing her with his eyes and extroverted actions.
One of the most successful and recognizable musicians on earth, Ideal Morris, is stunned by Ireland's existence. She stirs in him a devotion he swore was impossible. As he makes attempts to pull her into his flashy world, Ireland is beyond cautious. Experiencing resistance to his documented charm is foreign to Ideal, and after time, it brings about in him hurt and hostility.
Although Ireland can't deny her admiration of Ideal, she believes getting too close to him would be disastrous to her well-being. Avoiding fame as an actress is challenging enough without adding intimacy with a celebrity to the mix.
BEING WITH FAME is a compelling tale that captures our complexities. With insight and tenderness, Camille Undine explores the wealth of emotion that is the human experience. How do we cope when on a path strewn with worry, judgment, and coveted praise?
