The 2011 Cambridge Film Festival is now over, come back soon for details of next year's festival

Likeable director and star of the film, Steve Sale, sets out to become a real life superhero in this ultra low-budget British documentary. Describing itself as ‘KICK ASS but for real’, SUPERHERO ME follows Sale’s quest to nail the basics of Superhero-ness. Namely: Look good in spandex, learn self-defence, get a costume, a lair, some gadgets and a vehicle. He also jets off to America to meet some other self-styled superheroes, and hangs out with LA’s own registered superhero, Master Legend. Follow Sale’s journey from zero to hero, via rape alarm gloves, Velcro-related ninja accidents, a scooter, and lots of spandex.

"With a Morgan Spurlock-like approach, filmmaker Sale explores the concept of real-life superheroes by transforming himself into one called SOS." SHADOWS ON THE WALL
