Written by Leila Ben Abdallah
Read 10 Questions with the writers

SYNOPSIS:

Washed-Up is about an Arab-American actress, Lena Hadid, who finds fame as a sexy, three-breasted alien queen on a hit sci-fi show with a devoted cult following. When she leaves the show, she finds herself too typecast to ever work again. Out of money and options, Lena moves home to the suburbs of Washington D.C. to share a condo with her metrosexual Arab father, and her hip-hop producer younger brother. In between running a successful bar, chasing women and picking out a tie, Amir supports Lena as she rebuilds her confidence, while Adam’s success as the most popular hip-hop producer in Washington D.C. inspires her to reinvent her career and her life.

Deadline for Family Film and Writing Festival

TOY BOY played at the January 2015 FEEDBACK Film Festival. The audience LOVED this documentary family story about a man who still plays with toys.

Watch the AUDIENCE FEEDBACK Video:

TOY BOY, 8min, Canada, Documentary/Family
Directed by March Mercanti

A 30-year-old lives at home with his parents, their two cats … and 5,000 toys.

Follow the Toy Boy (Jeff Tyler Smith) on twitter: @KDavJeff

Director’s Statement:

I started following Jeff on twitter for over a year and I was always so interested in some of his posts. Whether it was pictures of purchases of the enormous splurges on toys or his brash way of stating his point, there was never a dull moment in the social media sphere for Jeff.

The idea for the project came about when I joined a film competition out of Ottawa where the subject category had to be on any type of fan. Since following Jeff on twitter I figured he was the king of fandom. I met up with him one night to discuss the potential of helping me find a subject since he was so ingrained within fan culture. After several beers and deep conversation Jeff insisted that he would be my perfect subject. He was right.
