SXSW 2016: Clay Liford’s SLASH Trailer


The first trailer has been released for Clay Liford‘s upcoming comedy Slash, which is making its world premiere at this year’s SXSW in Austin. The film stars Michael Johnston as a shy high schooler who expresses himself by writing erotic fan fiction. The film, written by Liford, also stars Hannah Marks, Missi Pyle, Jessie Ennis, Peter Vack, Sarah Ramos, and Michael Ian Black.

XYZ Films will be handling the sale of Slash, but there’s no release date as of yet.

Neil (Michael Johnston, Teen Wolf) is an introverted, questioning high school freshman. Lacking any friends IRL, 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 the slightly older, effortlessly cool Julia (Hannah Marks, Awkward.) 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 (Michael Ian Black). When Neil is invited to present his work at a comic con live-read event, he has to face the fact that Denis’ interest in him may be more than simply professional… perhaps like his own feelings for Julia.
