Hesher is a 2010 American comedy drama film written and directed by Spencer Susser in his feature directorial debut, from a screenplay by Susser and David Michôd, and based on a story by Brian Charles Frank. Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Rainn Wilson, Natalie Portman, Piper Laurie, and Devin Brochu, the film follows the titular rebellious metalhead and his misadventures with a depressed teenage boy coming to terms with the death of his mother in a car crash.
Several songs from heavy metal bands such as Metallica and Motörhead are featured in the film, as well as on the soundtrack. Principal photography began in Los Angeles on May 2, 2009, and concluded on June 15.
Hesher premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 22, 2010, where it was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize. The film was theatrically released in the United States on May 13, 2011, to mixed reviews from critics and was a box office failure.
