Productionedit
Developmentedit
The idea of Super Sex came from a joke actor Eli Wallach told to Matthew Modine. The joke had a lasting impression on Modine. So much so that he felt the joke could be expanded, opened-up and made into funny short film. When Modine completed his screenplay he asked his daughter, actress and singer Ruby Modine, for her thoughts. Ruby loved the script and expressed interest in portraying Julie, the film's prostitute. Ruby gave her father ideas for other cast members, which included Kevin Nealon and Elizabeth Perkins.[1] Once hired, Elizabeth Perkins recommended her husband, legendary cinematographer Julio Macat (Home Alone, Wedding Crashers) to shoot the film. Ruby and Matthew met with actor Efren Ramirez who agreed to play three roles in the film. Matthew, a great fan of Peter Sellers, felt Ramirez had the right comic touch to pull off what Sellers did so often and so brilliantly.
Filmingedit
Filming of Super Sex took place in Los Angeles, CA over two days. The production crew employed several students from the New York Film Academy's Industry Lab, who worked on the film in an apprenticeship capacity.[2] “When we began production, I wanted to involve students from the New York Film Academy. Jerry Sherlock was a dear friend and nothing made him more happy than when his students were involved with successful projects. I’m thrilled Super Sex is having its world premiere in the city Jerry loved and having students from NYFA participate.” said Modine.[3]
The film was shot digitally using the Arri Alexa camera. The film's poster was designed by Celsius Brand Team.
"Super Sex" was acquired by ShortsHD and was included in their compilation "Stars in Shorts: No Ordinary Love", which was released theatrically on September 17, 2016.[5]
Critical receptionedit
Super Sex received positive reviews from critics and was considered one of the best films of the 2016 Tribeca Film festival. Filmmaker Magazine chose Super Sex as one of the eight short films to see at the Tribeca Film Festival.[6] On Review Fix, the film was hailed as "one of the most enjoyable short films at the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival".[7] The Sunday Guardian said "The sharp scripting is enhanced by what appears to be considerable improvisation on the part of veterans Nealon and Perkins, and a satiric element drifts in over the culture-clash angle Modine takes on the material. Super Sex demonstrates the programmers’ enthusiasm for a form (Short films) that doesn't get enough credit in the bigger festivals and, most importantly, showcases the filmmaking chops required to shape the enormity of life into ten-minute vignettes.”[8] And Short and Sweet NYC called Super Sex the "best short of the festival."[9]
