Sidekick

Far from underachieving, director Blake Van De Graaf spins an entertaining yarn about the oft maligned and oft overlooked sidekick. Certainly Spiderman, Batman, and every superhero worth his snuff has a quality sidekick who enables the hero to truly be heroic. Enter comic fanboy, Norman who unintentionally stumbles onto his slick colleague's secret telekinetic powers and begins a journey to explore the length of Victor Ventura's (aka-Victoryman) powers. But, what happens when a superhero has no interest in being heroic? Van De Graff puts an interesting and entertaining twist on the superhero genre that has become all too predictable.
