Director’s Statement
Superhero films are the opera of our times. With their gargantuan set pieces, intricately choreographed wire work, and bombastic scores, they deliver a reliable ride chock-full of the tropes we expect and, it would seem, demand.
What if superheroes were less than heroic? Gifted, employed in crime and counter-crime, but essentially working stiffs like the rest of us?
What if, instead of savior complexes and primordial angst, superheroes were preoccupied with escapism, interpersonal strife and petty one-upmanship? How would super powers serve those ends?In the never-ending buffet of postmodern Superhero epics, Blowout is a happy-hour snack.Blowout was made for the 2013 Atlanta 48-Hour Film Project.
