Zero Charisma will be available on nationwide VOD and iTunes starting Oct 8, 2013, and in select theaters starting Oct 11, 2013. And to mark the occasion the distributors, Tribeca Film and Nerdist Industries, have unveiled a terrific new one sheet and a new trailer.
As the strict Game Master of a fantasy role-playing game, Scott (Sam Eidson) leads his friends in a weekly quest through mysterious lands from the safety of his grandmother's kitchen. But his mastery of his own domain starts to slip - along with everything else in his life - when neo-nerd hipster Miles (Garrett Graham) joins the game, winning over the group with his confident charm and dethroning Scott with an unexpected coup. Caught in delusions of grandeur, Scott must roll the dice and risk everything to expose Miles as the fraud he believes him to be. A darkly comedic fable of epic proportions, ZERO CHARISMA is an ode to nerds from every realm.
Our own Josh Hurtado had this to say in his review,
Zero Charisma is a feel-good film about one man's descent into his own personal hell that just happens to have a happy ending. This is a film that expertly observes the plight of the American gaming nerd, and draws it out to its logical extremes. While the film is frequently laugh-out-loud hilarious, it is also sensitive to this character who just needs a little push and acceptance. He is aware of his predicament, but needs a swift kick in the ass to make a difference in his own life, and it works beautifully. Sometimes we all need that kick.
