Brent Hodge is going up in the world. Ridiculously photogenic and always insightful, the CEO of Hodgee Films is hitting the documentary scene hard, named one of BC Business' '30 under 30' to watch. His latest film, A Brony Tale, delves into the mythos of one of the most abused and maligned subcultures on the internet, examining not just a subversion of gender norms, but age norms as well. Welcome to the My Little Pony fanbase.
Since Hodge is above the kind of zookeeper mentality that, say, the UK's Channel 4 often falls prey to, it promises to be more than just a case of 'look at the nerds'. The use of one of the show's voices, Ashleigh Ball, as the focal point of the film could provide a unique dynamic, as both insider and outsider to the subculture. Could be a nice indie.
