Tour 80's NY with Eddie Brock in "Truth In Journalism"

Fan films are a realization of someone's dreams...about someone else's dreams. You grow up loving a comic book character and one day, find your love is shared by like minded individuals and before you know it, there's a script and cameras and the rest is Comic-Con history. The results are...often mixed. While all show undeniable passion for the source material, some shine just a little brighter. Today, we take a look at "Truth In Journalism" in which an indie camera crew which follows morally corrupt scumbag reporter Eddie Brock through a vintage 80's New York City. It's mean spirited, authentic feeling and funny as all hell.

Griff The Invisible

Seems the geek train will never stop! As hero culture breaks out of the four walled panel...and onto your TV screen, and then leaps out onto the BIG screen, we just can't seem to get enough of it and thankfully, there seems to be no shortage of original takes on the theme. Kick-Ass presented us with an average kid just trying to make a difference. Special showed us that sometimes, wanting to change the world for the better is all the super power you need..even if you are mentally unstable. Super takes that concept, spins it several times and delivers justice at the end of a nice, hefty monkey wrench. Now comes Griff The Invisible, a hero for the indie romance set! here's the skinny...

Ryan Kwanten (True Blood) stars in this charming, quirky and totally unpredictable romantic comedy about the superhero in all of us. Griff (Kwanten), a shy and awkward office worker by day, finds escape from his ordinary life by assuming the identity of a fantastic superhero each night. Griff’s secret is jeopardized when he meets Melody (Maeve Dermody), a cute but unconventional daydreamer. She quickly becomes fascinated by his idiosyncrasies, which are equal only to her own.

In the face of mounting pressure to live in the “real world,” it’s up to Melody to rescue GRIFF THE INVISIBLE for the sake of herself, Griff and their new found love for each other.
