Andy Warhol’s Factory People

Step inside Andy Warhol's legendary Silver Factory, the aluminum-foiled studio that became the beating heart of 1960s counterculture. Drawn from over 50 hours of rediscovered footage and new interviews, this documentary plunges into a world of hustlers, muses, and misfits where Lou Reed jammed with socialites, silkscreens dried beside amphetamine binges, and Warhol orchestrated it all with cool detachment. Between 1964 and 1968, this converted hat factory mass-produced Pop Art and 15 minutes of fame. Factory "superstars" like the tragic Edie Sedgwick and Billy Name return to the scene with clear-eyed honesty, peeling back the layers of myth. What emerges is a portrait of a silver-walled laboratory that rewired culture's DNA—a beautiful mess where art, fame, and chaos collided, and nothing was ever the same.
