Once Upon a Superhero (Filmmakers in Attendance for Q&A!)

Not your ordinary superhero story

A homeless wanderer, named Solar Flare, proclaims to be a real superhero from the Sun who’s been exiled to live on Earth without his superpowers for 189 days. From the personal discovery of why he was sent here (to save this planet from an apocalyptic solar flare), to the array of bizarre characters that misguide him, we follow the lost ‘superhero’ on what quickly becomes a downward spiral journey into the underbelly of Hollywood – a place he comes to realize is not worth saving. With Adam Marcinowski, Yvette Monreal, Ron Bush.
