Stills from the film:
In an interview with the Sunday Star Times, Brent Hodge and Ashleigh Ball had nothing but positive things to say about the bronies they met on this crazy ride.
Excerpt from the article:
"From the beginning, bronies have been subject to vicious harassment on YouTube comment threads and online forums. To haters, bronies are perverts who get off on a show for children. They create pony porn and write erotic fan fiction about cartoon characters. They dress up as horses and have sex with each other.
Hodge had read the vitriol before setting out to make the movie, and so knew of the disturbing rumours. But in his year of interviews and research, he saw nothing resembling the behaviour suggested online.
"I never really came across it and, believe me, I did not shy from asking the questions."
Ball believes the contrast between the girly show and its brawny fans gives outsiders the wrong idea. "Haters say, 'They're into a little girls' show, they must be perverts or paedophiles or they're all crazy homosexuals.' That's not the case."
