Hump / Film Humpday in the UK
Posted by Lindy West on Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 12:50 PM
Lynn Shelton's Humpday gets a write-up in the Guardian, complete with a link to our very own HUMP! page:
Lynn Shelton's film centres on two heterosexual Seattle friends, happily married Ben and bohemian Andrew, who meet for the first time in years and, in the midst of a drink and drugs bender, talk themselves into entering the local amateur porn festival, as the stars of their own gay porn movie. "Straight ballin' — it's beyond gay!" When they sober up, the reality of their idea dawns on them. But can they back down?Visiting the Edinburgh film festival with her thoughtful and funny film, having already screened it to some acclaim at Sundance and Cannes, Shelton tells me that Hump! is a real porn festival, representative of the "sex-positive" culture in her city.
Here's hoping for some bangers & mash and spotted dick in this year's HUMP! submissions. Get HUMPing, Brits!

I was lucky enough to see this movie with my girlfriend last weekend. An EXCELLENT comedy that I suggest everyone see when they have the time. I haven't laughed that consistently in a theater for a long time.
I am left secretly hoping that the fictional hump film that wasn't was secretly made, as well :P
