Variety: “Journalist Patrick Gavin has covered the White House Correspondents Assn. dinner for nearly a decade, but he’s leaving Politico to put D.C.’s celebrity-driven gala under the microscope of a two-hour feature length documentary. His project, Nerd Prom: Washington’s Wildest Week, will focus on why dozens of celebrities would trek to D.C. at the same time every year to celebrate the White House press corps.”
