Watch UK Trailer For I Used To Be Normal : A Boyband Fangirl Story

From Brosettes to Beliebers, Durannies to Directioners, the Beyhive to the Britney Army, pop music acts have always had their legions of dedicated fans but none more so than the Boy Band. Jessica Leski‘s I Used To Be Normal : A Boyband Fangirl Story documentary is a love letter to those girls and women who unearthed their inner teenager!

They may be carefully engineered packages of cute, young boys in coordinated outfits, singing in harmony about broken hearts but their music is some of the most enduring and beloved and their fans are legendary. For over six decades the Fan Girl has been the beating heart of boybands. They fell in love as teenagers and, like any first love, that love has endured. If you are or were one of those many legions of girls this film might just bring a big smile to your face.

Sparky Pictures have released a UK Trailer to celebrate the release of the film, check it out…

Filmed over four years, and spanning three generations, I USED TO BE NORMAL: A BOYBAND FANGIRL STORY follows a diverse, funny, honest and insightful group of women who have had their lives dramatically changed by their boy band obsessions. It is an affectionate exploration of the fan girl phenomenon and also a surprising coming of age story.

Jessica Leski’s film focuses on four women, aged between 16 and 64 in the US and Australia, whose stories reveal the challenges of love, sexuality, family and faith, while constantly grappling with the problems and contradictions that are part of being in love with a boyband.

I USED TO BE NORMAL is a love letter to the girls and women who let themselves feel things deeply, who aren’t afraid to sing or dance along to a song that makes them happy, or who endeavour to always stay closely in touch with their inner teenager, with all the optimism, awkwardness and dreams that that entails.

I Used To Be Normal : A Boyband Fangirl Story will be released in the UK and Ireland via the usual Digital Platforms from 3rd May.
