‘Superfan’ Wins Award in Accolade Global Film Competition

LOS ANGELES, September 14, 2015PRLog — Zack Scott (“The 28th Day: The Wrath of Steph,” “Little Magdeline”) has won a prestigious Award of Recognition from The Accolade Global Film Competition. The award was given for Scott’s exciting film short, “Superfan,” which stars Aryiel Hartman (“Harry Potter and the Ten Years Later,” “Water for Elephants”) as SIREN92, a seductive cam girl, and Derek Houck (“Community,” “United States of Tara”) as Sam, a lonely man who pays $3.99 a minute to talk to the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen.

“This award recognizes how poignant the world of adult entertainment and camming is right now,” Scott said. “With popular documentaries like ‘Hot Girls Wanted’ by Rashida Jones shining a light on the adult film industry, we’re excited for ‘Superfan’ to take audiences even a step further out of their comfort zone.”

The Accolade recognizes film, television, videography and new media professionals who demonstrate exceptional achievement in craft and creativity, and those who produce standout entertainment or contribute to profound social change. Entries are judged by highly qualified professionals in the film and television industry. Information about the Accolade and a list of recent winners can be found at www.accoladecompetition.org.

In winning an Accolade, “Superfan” joins the ranks of other high-profile winners of this internationally respected award including the Oscar winning production of “The Lady in Number Six” by Malcolm Clarke, the very talented Dave Bossert of Disney for his short documentary, “The Tunes Behind The Toons,” Hollywood industry veteran Ron Howard for “When You Find Me” and Highwire Films Australia for their popular ABC TV series “twentysomething.” Rick Prickett, who chairs The Accolade Global Film Competition, had this to say about the latest winners, “The Accolade is not an easy award to win.

‘Superfan’ to premiere at Action on Film International Film Festival

PRLogAug. 10, 2015LOS ANGELESSection Thirteen announced today that “Superfan” will have its world premiere at the 11th Annual Action on Film International Film Festival. The 2015 AOF Fest will run September 18 – 27 in the city of Monrovia, Calif.

“Superfan” stars Aryiel Hartman (“Harry Potter and the Ten Years Later,” “Water for Elephants”) as SIREN92, a seductive cam girl, and Derek Houck (“Community,” “United States of Tara”) as Sam, a lonely man who pays $3.99 a minute to talk to the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen. The short is directed by Zack Scott (“The 28th Day: The Wrath of Steph,” “Little Magdeline”).

“Rashida Jones has really shined a light on reexamining the porn industry with the popular documentary ‘Hot Girls Wanted,’ and we’re excited for Aryiel’s performance in ‘Superfan’ to take audiences even a step further out of their comfort zone,” Scott said. “The world has changed dramatically in the past 10 years as digital technology continues to advance, and it’s important that we take an honest look at not just the performers but the people who essentially pay for sex without ever leaving their homes.”

“Superfan” was written by Houck and is a production of Section Thirteen in association with 8-Track Productions.

“This is my second project to appear at AOF, and to return to the festival and give them the world premiere is gratifying,” said Houck whose web series “Napoleon Bon Appétit” was an official selection at the festival in 2011.

Hartman will star opposite Derek Houck (“Community,” “United States of Tara”) as Sam, a lonely man who pays for a private session with SIREN92.

“I’m really excited to dive deep into this character and find more and more moments that separate her from just your average sex worker,” Hartman said. “She’s very unique and I can’t wait to get to know her better.”

“Superfan” was written by Houck. Section Thirteen is producing, in association with 8-Track Productions.

Hartman is represented by 3G Management.
