SLASH USA 2016 100 min original version with German subtitles Script: Clay Liford, DoP: Ellie Ann Fenton, Editors: Bryan Poyser, David Fabelo, Production: Boxcar Films, Producer: Brock Williams, Jason Wehling, Cast: Michael Johnston, Hannah Marks, Michael Ian Black, Missi Pyle, Sarah Ramos, Peter Vack Neil is an introverted, questioning high school freshman. Lacking any friends, his main social outlet is the steamy fan fiction he writes about Vanguard, the brawny, galaxy-hopping hero of a popular sci-fi franchise. When his stories are exposed in class Neil is mortified, but cool Julia comes to his defense. An erotic fan fic writer herself, Julia pushes Neil to publish his stories to an online "adult" forum… "Most high school stories center on the idea of the 'outsider', and the internet has given us unfettered access to the ultimate outsiders (and outsider artists). The writers of slash fiction are so below the radar, so maligned and so taboo, I can’t think of another group more outside the mainstream. This is a coming-of-age story for kids who don’t get their own coming-of-age stories." (Clay Liford) |
