A little sleepy on a Friday morning in Brooklyn, N.Y., Scott Turner Schofield is tired from an "argument" against censorship that lasted until 2 a.m. This time, however, Schofield is not defending his own work, but someone else's, having been to a screening of Ticked-Off ->-bleeped-<-s with Knives at the Tribeca Film Festival the night before. The movie, a self-described "homage to the exploitation films of the '70s and '80s" is a "revenge fantasy that brews up a concoction of camp, slasher horror and power-chick flick to create a radical new genre: Transplotation."
And it's pissing off a lot of the LGBT community. Many of its members are calling for the movie's ban from theaters.
And as a writer/performer himself, that bothers Schofield.
