Trailer for Old Fashioned that rips on Fifty Shades of Grey.
Rik Swartzwelder, Old Fashioned writer, director, and lead actor (playing Clay Walsh) questions "Fifty Shades" long-term effects. "What happens when 'harmless fantasy' plays out in the real world—in young lives unsure of what lasting love looks like, much less how to get it?" he asks. "Unquestionably, the stories our culture lifts up influence young audiences. "It's not about boycotting or creative restrictions," Swartzwelder added. "Audiences merely deserve a choice, an alternative view of love and romance—something more than objectification."
