"Think I'm some kind of maniac?!" Picturehouse has revealed the teaser for an acclaimed indie dark comedy called Our Hero, Balthazar, made by filmmaker Oscar Boyson as his big feature directorial debut after many other shorts. This premiered at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival last year, and played at the Vancouver, Adelaide, Tallgrass, Rome Film Festivals as well. Eager to impress his activist crush, a wealthy New York teenager follows an online connection to Texas, where he's convinced he can stop an act of extreme violence.

Anchored by a transformative performance from Asa Butterfield (wait – that's him?!), the film also stars Jaeden Martell, Chris Bauer, Jennifer Ehle, Anna Baryshnikov, Noah Centineo, Becky Ann Baker, Avan Jogia, and Pippa Knowles.
