Hench, a film by Matthew Huxtable
Logline: Much to his own surprise, a bumbling supervillian’s henchman overtakes the world.
HENCH is the story of a man who unwillingly falls into the family business of being a henchmen—the trained and ruthless guards of Supervillains. The metropolis of Business City is home to many Supervillains all on the brink of taking over the world, and with just as many Superheroes whose job it is to stop them. And that’s what it is-–a job. Superheroes are employees of the city, their sidekicks are completing their Superhero apprenticeship, and henchmen became henchmen by filling in an application form at their local job centre. In Business City, even the act of protecting or taking over the city is just another form of business.
Alexander “Lex” Hench is one of these henchmen, only joining to please his father (deceased). He’d much rather be curating at the museum or running his own gallery, but the Hench’s don’t do that sort of thing. Now that he has somehow worked his way up the ranks to become his Supervillain’s Person Number Two, while also falling in love with another henchmen, who just so happens to be the daughter of the lead Superhero, will Hench save or destroy the day when the great battle finally happens, next Tuesday? Stay tuned to this channel!…
Dan Black works at Landland, a very small graphic design & illustration studio in Northeast Minneapolis. The Landland studio doubles as a fully-functional screenprinting shop, mainly focused on record sleeves, posters, and art prints. We have also started publishing some short-run books and a handful of very limited-edition records. Where we live tends to get very cold, so a lot of times the only thing that makes sense is to stay inside and draw tessellation patterns or the names of bands or messed-up billboards or things that you remember from back when it was fun to go outside.
