Eminem ‘STANS’ Documentary To Premiere at SXSW

April 24, 2025 1

Eminem famously coined the term “Stan” with his hit song of the same name. The 2000 track told the story of an obsessed fan; and now, the Shady Films-produced documentary STANS will premiere on the opening night of the SXSW London Screen Festival on June 2. The doc is directed by Steven Leckart, and according to Billboard, STANS explores the psychology behind the complex relationship between artists and the fans. The film features both Em’s devoted fans and his collaborators.

“Putting together the first-ever programme of the SXSW London Screen Festival has been a dream. We are excited to present bold new work from across the world, celebrating boundary-pushing films across documentary, animation and narrative filmmaking,” SXSW London’s head of screen, Anna Bogutskaya, said in a statement.

“Our program is designed to ignite conversations, inspire new connections and showcase and celebrate screen storytelling across film, TV and immersive.”

Produced by The 45 King, “Stan” was a standout on Em’s classic The Marshall Mathers LP. The song’s story was fictional, but resonated with listeners — to the point that “Stan” became and has remained shorthand for overenthusiastic fandom. Distributed by MTV Entertainment Studios, STANS will premiere on Paramount+ in the United States later in 2025.
