Paperboy
by Eve Lytollis
directed by Amy Tickner
“A woman in a bar actually told me that I “reminded her of Steve Carrell in The Office”. I mean, who doesn’t want to be like Steve Carrell? Great actor.”
Two self-proclaimed “journalists”, Matt and Matthew, are the founders of newspaper The Desperate Times. Matt likes to think of himself as the top dog, saying and doing as he pleases, and hopefully making everyone else go wild with awe in the process; Matthew, meanwhile, is the beta male to Matt’s alpha, which in this case pretty much just means that he thinks a little more before he speaks (sometimes), and feels a little less compelled to constantly talk about his genitalia.
Supported by their long-suffering assistant, Phoebe, they think they're the dog's bollocks - although she'd probably say that in itself is a load of bollocks… So when the effects of boys’ cheeky chat start to show, is it really all as harmless as they think?
From writer Eve Lytollis and director Amy Tickner, ‘Paperboy’ is a ridiculous, thought-provoking comedy exploring the dark sides of lad culture and toxic masculinity, and looking at when conversation goes from just a bit of banter to something more serious.
