There are eroticfan fictionfans. And then there are those who devote their life to writing it. Neil is in the author camp. And his hobby may have just gotten him ostracised from his classmates in the sure-to-be hilarious new romantic comedySlash. Today, we have the first trailer and the official poster forSlash, and if you’re a fan or writer of fan fiction, this is one future cult classic that is not to be missed.
Neil is a questioninghigh schoolfreshman whose main social outlet is the steamy erotic fan fiction he writes about Vanguard, the brawny, galaxy-hopping hero of a popular sci-fi franchise. When Neil’s stories are exposed in class he is mortified, but the effortlessly-cool Julia comes to his defense. An erotic fan fic writer herself, Julia pushes Neil to publish his stories to an online “adult” forum, where they quickly grab the attention of the site moderator, Denis.
When Neil is invited to present his work at acomic conlive-read event, he must face the fact that Denis' interest in him may be more than simply professional. Perhaps like his own feelings for Julia.Slashpremiered at SXSW 2016 under the Narrative Spotlight category. It will now open in select theaters on December 9th!
