USA PREMIERE IN SILVERLAKE FILM FESTIVAL The USA premiere of The Fluffer was before a sold out, standing room only crowd at a screening in conjunction with the Silverlake Film Festival.
FLUFFER IN TORONTO FILM FESTIVAL The Fluffer North American Premiere packed houses at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival. An unusually high percentage (75%) of the audience stayed for Q&A with the directors. Everyone from teenage coeds to grandmothers to Toronto scenesters responded to the film, and the directors were congratulated by strangers on the streets!
The directors e-mailed this report to the team: "The screening was beyond ideal. The crowd picked up every nuance. We could tell within the first minute that they were loving the movie. They laughed at the funny parts and you could hear a pin drop during the serious moments. Some people were crying at the end. Afterwards, there were several rounds of applause."
FLUFFER IN BERLIN FILM FESTIVAL The Fluffer was an official selection of the 51st Internationale Filmfestspiele Berlin (Berlin Film Festival). The Berlin Film Festival is one of the most prestigious in the world, and everyone involved in the project is delighted.

The crowd loved the film and broke out laughing when Johnny Rebel commented that he "looked German."
