Future Boyfriend is a short (11 minute), romantic film with a clever sci-fi twist in the plot. I would like to thank my student May L. for sharing this video with me.
The film was first written as a one-act play by A. Vincent Ularich and it was accepted in the Sci-Fest festival in Los Angeles in 2014, Subsequently the actors raised $12,645 in donations to fund the production and the shooting of the film, David Alayón reports for Medium. The dialogues are fast, but they can be subtitled, so the movie should be accessible to B2 students.
Some of the new, colloquial language you may find is: I should come clear about something, disrupting the fabric of time, to take in, to have a lot to handle, weird, gross!, grisly, a better shot, a creep, to work out, to get this straight, deal?
If you want to know more about the film, you can watch this 5 minute video, Behind the Scenes of Future Boyfriend, where the main actors, Ron Morehouse and Emily Bell talk to some of the movie technicians and relatives the day the movie was shot. You will find lots of technical and colloquial words related to movie-making, like sneak peek, prepping, shoot, clips, behind the scenes footage, crew, picture lock, premiere, make-up and costume person, on set, cameo, to steal the show, being background, a stern look, handled, appreciative, I'm drained, stills (Watch out! The subtitles are not always perfect!). This sneak peek view of the film is also suitable for B2 students.
