Big Fan - Photos of Patton Oswalt obsessed fan film

First Showing were sent these photos for a film called Big Fan written and directed by Robert Siegel (The Wrestler). It's going to be on at the Sundance Film Festival and stars Patton Oswalt.

Paul Aufiero (Oswalt), a 35-year-old parking-garage attendant from working-class Staten Island, is the self described "world's biggest New York Giants fan." One night Paul and his best friend, Sal (Kevin Corrigan), spot star Giants linebacker Quantrell Bishop at a gas station in Staten Island. They impulsively follow his SUV into Manhattan to a strip club, where they finally muster up the courage to talk to their hero. What starts out as a dream come true turns into a nightmare as a misunderstanding ignites a violent confrontation, and Paul is sent down a path that will test his devotion to the extreme.

I quite like Patton Oswalt and the films he has starred in. Be sure to check out the short film where he stares at the camera for about 6 minutes and then walks around a storage place until he finds David Byrne playing guitar. Very weird but it does grab you. I posted it a while ago here.
