Here's a fun, violent short film that teaches you how to kick hillbilly ass! The short was directed by Michael Ashton of LazyTeenageSuperhero, and it's the first episode of a new web-series they created called The Fundamental Guide to Kicking Ass. This first one deals with hillbillies, but it safe to say that they're going to show us how to kick the asses of several different kinds of people. Now I don't condone anyone going around shooting and killing hillbillies, but it's still an entertaining little short. Check it out!

Over the past few years, we've been seeing an increasing number of independently produced movies that are able to compete with Hollywood blockbusters at a fraction of the cost -- or at least, that's the underdog story that the media likes to tell. The truth is, the price of high quality filmmaking equipment has come down to a level where just about anyone can afford it, but the talent isn't always there to back it up. Just look at the endless number of forgettable fan films that have been unleashed on the web. Sure, it's impressive what some of these people can do with no money and no experience, but you're fooling yourself if you think they are ready for prime time.

Ashton -- who created, directed, edited, and composed the visual effects for the snarky short -- has made his mark on the increasingly popular breed of antihero / superhuman / loveable slacker with awesome powers.
The team in 'Lazy Teenage Superheroes' is more interested in getting stoned and drunk and ogling porn than using their gifts to save the world. In other words, they're teenagers.
The average dude among them is Tyler. He moves in with the crew and is prone to bouts of fantasy about sharing their powers, which no one seems seem terribly interested in wielding. When facing their foes, the superheroes (named...
