Synopsis: “blacktino” is a dark teen comedy about an overweight half-black, half-latino nerd named Stefan Daily. He was raised by his black grandmother in a medium sized suburb of Austin, TX. Struggling to find his place in a mostly white high school, Stefan finds sanctuary among the eclectic mix of social outcasts in the school’s Theatre Department. In the tradition of the great teen comedies of the last thirty years “blacktino” will ensure that the torch of teen angst continues to burn bright.

Blacktino will be showing opening night of SXSW. No theatrical release date has been announced. Starring Austin Marshall, Devyn Ray, Tiger Sheu, Leon Washington, Conrad Gonzales, Timeca Seretti, Denise Williamson, Bryan Jackson, Dona Dye, David Holmes, and Danny Trejo. Directed by Aaron Burns.
