Our Hero, Balthazar

'Our Hero, Balthazar' is a daring dark satire centered on Balthy, a wealthy teenager from New York City who creates provocative gun control videos in an effort to catch the attention of an activist crush. The plot takes a tense turn when an online troll attacks his content. Convinced that this troll might be a potential school shooter, Balthy impulsively travels to Texas to confront him, leading to a dramatic and unsettling journey. Trivia: 1) The film’s director chose to shoot critical scenes in authentic Texas small towns to capture the stark cultural contrast with NYC. 2) The actor playing Balthy consulted with several youth activists to genuinely portray the character's passionate yet naive stance on gun control. 3) The online trolling dialogue was improvised, adding to the raw and unsettling realism of the interactions.
