Capital Film Festival – Poster Boy: Becoming Zyzz – Panel Discussion

Saturday October 24 | 1pm | Free Tickets

Join us after the screening for a discussion with panel guests Tom Blackwell (Producer), Lucy Barrat (Education and Product Manager, The Man Cave) and more to be announced.

Fifteen years after his untimely death, this compelling documentary traces Zyzz's rise during the early days of internet culture, charting his transformation from a shy teenager into the charismatic figurehead of the global "Aesthetics Movement". Through a rich collection of archival footage, home videos, and candid interviews with friends and family, including brother Said "Chestbrah" Shavershian, the film examines the appeal of his message alongside the complex realities of fitness culture, body image, and modern masculinity.

More than a portrait of an internet phenomenon, Poster Boy: Becoming Zyzz is a timely and thought-provoking exploration of identity, influence, and the pressures facing young men today.
