Without giving too much away from magician/author/actor Penn Jillette’s Director’s Cut that’s screening at Slamdance, Jillette and director Adam Rifkin offer up an evolution of the found footage genre that shows how it can break free from its dependence on horror as well as offer some self-aware meta humor.

Watch the trailer for Director’s Cut (make sure you watch the whole thing) and you’ll see what we’re talking about.

Michael Ian Black and Missi Pyle Starring in Erotic Fan Fiction Comedy “Slash”

Already, we have a feeling that this has the potential to to be a gem of a sex comedy on the film festival circuit.

In of itself, slash fiction/erotic fan fiction can be both pretty funny and pretty graphic. Just check out Bryan Cook’s Competitive Erotic Fan Fiction if you’re skeptical.

So, while The Overnight is getting lauded as a “darling of a sex comedy”, a feature focusing on lurid fan fic written by teens with Michael Ian Black, Missi Pyle, Matt Peters, and Jessie Ennis in the cast should be ripe for that label when it starts screening around the way. 

Clay Liford’s Slash is currently in production, but we hope to see it as soon as we can.
