SXSW 2011: BLACKTINO starring Danny Trejo and Jeff Fahey

Here is the SXSW trailer for blacktino from first-time director Aaron Burns with appearances by Danny Trejo and Jeff Fahey. The indie coming-of-age film is part of the fest's “Lone Star States” category.

Here is the synopsis from SXSW:

“blacktino” is a dark teen comedy about an overweight half-black, half-hispanic 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.

The film has it's world premiere on opening night of SXSW at the Paramount Theatre
