Surfer: Teen Confronts Fear
Smalltember winds are blowing in, and this year the currents brought us a doozy. SURFER: TEEN CONFRONTS FEAR has already become a new bad movie classic, and we had a lot of fun(?) confronting this strange object that arrived at Flop House central like a beached whale. It’s a metaphysical monologue! It’s a stealth religious film! It’s a military thriller! It’s a surfing movie! It’s a dad wasting his kid’s time! It’s a way to use up old home movies by sneaking them into your narrative film! It’s all this and much more!
FLOP TV SEASON FOUR’S BIG PREMIERE is tomorrow, 9/5! Go pick up a pass for individual episodes or the whole dang season!
And if you live in the Louisville area and want to see us live NOT through your computer screen, come to our show at Whirling Tiger in September!
