Antihero (2011)

Pork Rind is a busboy with sticky fingers and a belly full of cheap beer. When he realizes a psychic power he never knew he had, he and best friend, Weezie, embark on an all-too-easy burglary spree. Due in part to this new-found power, Pork Rind and Weezie keep finding themselves in the position of accidental heroes. When their thieving ways finally catch up with them, the opportunity arises to test their mettle, and prove that even the least-expecting slacker can rise to the occasion to become a true Antihero. Antihero is equal parts slacker-comedy and heartfelt adventure. A true product of guerrilla filmmaking, Antihero was shot over the Summer of '10, on a shoestring budget, with a two-man crew, and a lively cast comprised mostly of VCU theater students and graduates. Antihero took home awards and nominations from numerous festivals, including the distinction of Best Narrative Feature, from the Columbia Gorge International Film Festival.
