Scott Thun

Presents an overblown gangster comedy which manipulates the conventions of television in order to create a commentary on the pop culture of a television society. Made by the artist as a daytime TV show to be shown within the installation titled "Private House". It was also meant to fit into a short 16mm film that was shot in the installation while it was installed at the Walker Art Center.

While attending a Hollywood premiere with a famous action star, a crazed fan pulls a gun—but her movie hunk turns into a coward, and it's Vallery who becomes the hero. Suddenly, she's thrown into a world of action and danger as owner of a Hollywood protection agency, Vallery Irons Protection (V.I.P.), taking risks to protect others at a price few are willing to pay.
