Development The idea of
Super Sex came from a joke actor
Eli Wallach told to
Matthew Modine. The joke had a lasting impression on Modine. So much so that he felt the joke could be expanded, opened-up and made into funny short film. When Modine completed his screenplay he asked his daughter, actress and singer
Ruby Modine, for her thoughts. Ruby loved the script and expressed interest in portraying
Julie, the film's prostitute. Ruby gave her father ideas for other cast members, which included
Kevin Nealon and
Elizabeth Perkins. Once hired,
Elizabeth Perkins recommended her husband, legendary cinematographer Julio Macat (
Home Alone, Wedding Crashers) to shoot the film. Ruby and Matthew met with actor
Efren Ramirez who agreed to play three roles in the film. Matthew, a great fan of
Peter Sellers, felt Ramirez had the right comic touch to pull off what Sellers did so often and so brilliantly.
Filming Filming of
Super Sex took place in
Los Angeles, CA over two days. The production crew employed several students from the
New York Film Academy's Industry Lab, who worked on the film in an apprenticeship capacity. “When we began production, I wanted to involve students from the
New York Film Academy. Jerry Sherlock was a dear friend and nothing made him more happy than when his students were involved with successful projects. I’m thrilled
Super Sex is having its world premiere in the city Jerry loved and having students from NYFA participate.” said Modine. The film was shot
digitally using the
Arri Alexa camera. The film's poster was designed by Celsius Brand Team. == Release ==
