Synopsis

Reflecting a social networking-saturated youth culture where YouTubers like William Sledd and Chris Crocker speak directly to millions of kids, including teenage girls and emo boys alike, OMG/HaHaHa offers a deeper, digitally filtered view into the seemingly superficial psyches of the MySpace generation. In the tradition of edgy and cutting edge filmmaking inspired by Harmony Korine, Gus Van Sant, and Greg Araki, OMG/HaHaHa weaves a simple narrative together via part video blog, part improvisational narrative, and part pseudo documentary. The film is a pastiche of the lives of a diverse set of twenty-something gay, straight, and trans teens living in Memphis and dealing with flesh and blood issues, ranging from unexpected pregnancy to homophobia to dying parents.
