In director Sam McConnell’s new feature “Test,” Brock Yurich stars as Eddie, a competitive bodybuilder who suddenly finds himself attracted to his new coach (Mike Edward).
In an exclusive first look at the film’s first teaser trailer, Eddie is seen pumping, primping and posing on the bodybuilder circuit. But there’s a much darker side to the showmanship that arises in this story, one that includes performance enhancing drugs, substance abuse and violence.
“God doesn’t want this for you,” Tammy Blanchard, who plays his ultra-religious mother and manager, is heard yelling as Eddie storms out of the house.
In another moment, Blanchard is seen bending over a bathtub, crying into the phone, “My son, he needs an ambulance.” An old girlfriend of Eddie’s (Paloma Garcia-Lee) comes across Eddie and Mike being affectionate with each other when they think no one is watching.
“Glee” star Matthew Morrison plays a local pastor.
