Paris Hilton's representatives pressed organizers of the Toronto International Film Festival to cut the number of screenings of a documentary on the actress and socialite in a bid to create more buzz for the film, according to a report.
"We wanted to create more buzz - create some hype . . . We felt the impact would be more extreme if we had one screening," said Paris' representative Jason Moore to Page Six of the New York Post.
The documentary, "Paris, Not France," which had originally been scheduled for three screenings was reduced to one, after her representatives and lawyers made the request to the festival and the documentary's director Adria Petty.
Lawsuits had been threatened, and the film will be possibly seen once at the festival and nowhere else afterward, according to Hollywood Reporter blog, Risky Biz which quotes unidentified sources.
The screening will be shown on September 8. The Toronto International Film Festival will run from Thursday through September 13, featuring 312 movies from 64 countries.
According to the TIFF summary, "Paris, Not France" reveals different sides of Hilton than those sides people are used to see as the result of Petty's close access to Paris during one year.
"Petty inspires her to talk about her life in a way that no other journalist has: the rebellious streak that propelled her into a modeling career, the shock of having her sex life exposed to the world, and the pressures of living under constant media distortions. Paris is by turns seductive and vulnerable, in charge and out of control," says the TIFF info about the film.
Among the content of the film are "revealing" interviews with Paris' father millionaire Rick Hilton and his wife, Kathy Hilton as well as her sister Nicky and other family members.
The documentary is 68 minutes long.
