SYNOPSIS:

They kick ass, take names, and look gorgeous doing it. Steve and Stephen, a pair of renegade vigilantes, are out for justice. But when a new, orgasm inducing drug known as “booche” starts becoming an epidemic, their once quiet streets are quickly transforming into a sex-crazed wasteland. Armed only with their cunning and a pair of nunchucks, Steve and Stephen barge into the world of German fetish and use their flamboyant, sexually charged kung-fu tactics to destroy everything in their path. But the man behind the operation, a German terrorist known only as Rammstein, isn’t going to make it that easy. Can our heroes take him down and make it home in time to watch “Lost” or have they finally bitten off more than they can chew?

DIRECTORS' STATEMENT:

When we developed the characters of Steve and Stephen, we knew they deserved more than a cookie cutter slapstick treatment. In creating “Sexual Tension,” we understood that in order for the comedy to have the greatest effect, we had to treat every outlandish situation with an extremely dramatic tone.  Though the film pokes fun at common conventions found in specific genres of film and television, we never wanted Steve and Stephen to become a stereotype or a parody of their own. So when you see our boys gyrating their hips in overstuffed bike shorts, just know that our intentions are very, very serious.

We shot “Sexual Tension” in a television format, throwing the viewer in the middle of a nonexistent cable series. Our intention was to use the format of prime time television as a character of its own, mixing conventions seen in current shows like “Lost” and “24” with classic buddy cop action films from the eighties and nineties. Though we are making fun of these well-known action staples, “Sexual Tension” is more of an homage to our innermost guilty pleasures.
