Occupying Ed @ SHOUT Film Festival

Director Steve Balderson (The Casserole Club, Stuck) is no stranger to tackling unique and thought-provoking subject matter. Occupying Ed is his most complex and soul-searching film to date, a comedic and identity-affirming story of a man named Ed and his coming to terms with who he is and what he wants. After suffering a series of blackouts, Ed learns that he has a split personality disorder -- and his alternate personality is quite a woman. Not only has she been living Ed’s life without his knowledge, but she’s taken professional opportunities and even found love. How he handles the struggles of life with DID, an unfamiliar lover and an unapproving homophobic brother is the greatest part of this masterpiece. Starring Birmingham native Chris Sams and featuring a colorful assortment of supporting characters, Occupying Ed is an entertaining, enlightening and invigorating film about self-discovery.
