Remember the awesome documentary that was, Superhero Me? If you never saw it, you simply must. It followed a normal guy (Steve Sale) who attempted to create his own superhero and attempt to clean London’s streets of all wrong-doings! We absolutely loved it (read my review here), so much so that we ended up making our own short movie with Steve and some of the people that he met while making his documentary. You can see the fruits of our labour here and yes, that is me dressed as Kick-Ass!
Steve is back to direct another movie with the title Suck Buddy in which he does his best to investigate whether or not vampires really do exist!
Synopsis: In this current economic climate, that could be one explanation as to why it’s hard to turn on a TV set and not see or hear something about Vampires. Every...

We here at HeyUGuys are big fans of Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass, so when we were given the chance to use the costume actually worn by Aaron Johnson in the film we decided we had to make something special.
A few weeks ago we took to the streets of London, with our Editor Dave Sztypuljak gamely adorned in the Kick-Ass suit to make the video you can see below.
To help us in our endeavour we enlisted the help of the very best real life superheroes we could find, they are: S.O.S., Kid X, the grey masked telepath (from the future) Suplex and Dr. Amazing and General Bovine from our favourite Superhero rock band, Justice Force 5.
Big thanks to Bleeding Cool and Ben Mortimer who overcame his enormous hangover to produce the video expertly.

Superhero Me may not be a film that you’re familiar with but I assure you, once you see it, it won’t be a film that you’ll forget! It’s the brainchild of Steve Sale, a Sound Engineer (turned Superhero!), and follows his quest to becoming a superhero. You may have come across the movie as it premiered at the Edinburgh Film Festival earlier this year.
It first came to my attention when a friend of mine (James Prescott) mentioned that he was going to be in a movie. He told me that the movie was mostly shot around where we live, in Sutton / Epsom in South London. It was around the time when Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass was released in the UK, and since we were massive fans of the movie here at HeyUGuys, it was a movie I was very much looking forward to.

Day 10 – Friday
Friday has to be one of my favourite days at Eiff.
It began with Superhero Me at the Cameo – a.k.a. the comfiest cinema in the universe. Enveloped in its cozy red seats, we were swept away on a magical journey of cheap spandex, a novice superhero named Sos, and a network of eccentrics. Superhero Me is a documentary from Steve Sale, a first-time filmmaker who wondered – “Long before Kick-Ass!” - what it would be like to become a superhero.
Quickly taking action, he shot his forays into real life comic book filmmaking on home video equipment, camera phones, and whatever else he could get his hands on. It’s an enjoyable romp, with a poignant message to be found in later scenes with an Orlando-based superhero named Master Legend. Unfortunately it was ill-projected, so we missed the subtitles while he spoke with an Italian vigilante and some other details.

Of all the documentaries screening at this year's Edinburgh International Film Festival, only one asks questions which have long troubled comic-book fans the world over. What if you could don a suit, wear your briefs over your pants, hop on a bike and head out into the cold to fight crime in your local community? If Batman can do it, why can't that guy living next door?
The film asking these questions is Superhero Me, in which Brit music producer-turned-filmmaker Steve Sale attempts to find the answers by throwing himself into his theory. Styling himself as 'Sos' he dons a mask and attempts to ail society's ills in his sleepy hometown of Sutton in England.
Along the way we meet Sale's friends, and some low-league comic-book experts, who wax lyrical about what it means to be superhero, and Sale discovers an entire community of people on the Internet who dress...

Superhero Me is a documentary by English music producer Steve Sale. He preceeds the film with a bit of text explaining that he filmed any which way he could and that the budget was almost non-existant. Then he quotes Mariah Carey; "So when you feel like hope is gone, Look inside you and be strong, And you'll finally see the truth, That a hero lies in you." We begin with comic book experts comicly explaining their veiws on what it means to be a superhero - and I'm about ready to sit back and watch an entertaining documentary about a guy who wants to join the growing cult of real life superheros that's expanding around the world.
Steve does some research into what kind of name his alter-ego should have, and how to make an effective costume.

Two highly-anticipated second feature films from U.S. underground filmmakers will be making their World Premieres all the way over at the 64th annual Edinburgh International Film Festival, which will run for twelve days on June 16-27. The films are Rona Mark’s The Crab and Zach Clark’s Vacation!.
The Crab, which screens on June 21, is the touching story of a verbally abusive man born with two enormous, mutant-like hands; while Vacation!, which screens on June 20, tracks four urban gals let loose in a sunny seaside resort down South.
Both Mark and Clark previously screened their debut features at Eiff. Mark’s Strange Girls screened there in 2008 and Clark’s Modern Love Is Automatic screened in 2009. Both films also ended up as runners-up in Bad Lit’s annual Movie of the Year award, again Strange Girls in 2008 and Modern Love in 2009. Sadly, these two masterpieces are still unavailable on...
