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.
