I Was The Fluffer at The NYT (2003), A Very Short Story and Film by Jason Blair
Directed by Ithaca College film students Michael Wills, Joshua Leone, and Heather Tyler Moore -Donahue
Synopsis: A story of obsession, submission, money and sexuality set in the elite print media and industry. While riffing the elite print media industry, the dark tale is centered around three NYT employees: Howell Raines --a hot-blooded "go for it" Manhattan Media star; Jason Blair--the young naive Afro-American kid who moves to Manhattan to pursue a career in elite journalism; and Jason's long-time stripper girlfriend and former Times clerk Zuza Glowacka,, aka Babylon.
When Jason rents "Citizen Kane" and is accidentally given a copy of a Howell Raines' NYT Editorial on " Diversity, Southern Intellectual Heritage and the Afro-American Male", he becomes so obsessed with the beefy NYT top executive that he gets a job as a entry level journalist with Howell's newspaper company in order to be near him. It doesn't take long before he steps beyond his job description to a more intimate role as Howell's Fluffer--the one responsible for getting the top Executive mentally aroused before and between editorials and board meetings devoted towards "diversity" and in a serials of breathtaking reports from the field and from his impeccable furnished and maintained apartment in "the city". While Babylon navigates her clients, and Howell negotiates the inhabitants of the NYT political underworld, both struggle to keep the man they love from falling further into a world of drugs and despair.
