Here's a clip from Superhereos the documentary directed by Michael Barnett, which is currently premiering at the Sundance Film Festival.
Superherores follows the lives of some of our country's most famous true-life superheroes. The following clip introduces a crime-fighting quartet known as the New York Initiative, a group of four Brooklyn-based vigilantes. Imagine a real-life Fantastic Four, minus the superpowers.
Check out the clip below and share your thoughts!
The film takes a look at what inspires these people to put their lives on the line and take the law into their own hands to protect the innocent. Believe it or not, there are currently 300 registered (possibly more unregistered) superheroes living in the United States.
I am amazed that there are really that many people registered as superheros. I did not even know there was a place to become a registered superhero. This doc could be this years Exit Through The Gift Shop!

With the complete Sundance lineup now out in public you had to know that Slamdance couldn't be far behind. And it wasn't. The complete list of competition selections for Slamdance 2011 was announced today and it's a compelling mix of titles.
On the genre front Fernando Barreda Luna's found footage shocker Atrocious is the festival's one true horror entry while Simon Arthur's Silver Tongues also sounds like it could delve into dark thriller territory. Experimental effort The Beast Pageant is probably worth a look as well and I've been hearing growing buzz about inner city crime moc doc Snow On The Bluff as well.
On the real documentary side of things there are a couple music themed pieces - Road Dogs and Last Fast Ride - cranked up to 11. Stephan Wassman's Scrapper - the story of a group of men who collect scrap from a Us military bombing...
