ABOUT THE FILM

After stumbling upon a bizarre “competitive endurance tickling” video online, wherein young men are paid to be tied up and tickled, reporter David Farrier reaches out to request a story from the company. But the reply he receives is shocking—the sender mocks Farrier's sexual orientation and threatens extreme legal action should he dig any deeper. So, like any good journalist confronted by a bully, he does just the opposite: he travels to the hidden tickling facilities in Los Angeles and uncovers a vast empire, known for harassing and harming the lives of those who protest their involvement in these films. The more he investigates, the stranger it gets, discovering secret identities and criminal activity.

Discovering the truth becomes Farrier’s obsession, despite increasingly sinister threats and warnings. With humor and determination, Farrier and co-director Dylan Reeve summon up every resource available to get to the bottom of this tickling worm hole.

ABOUT US

David Farrier – Co-Director

Born on Christmas Day and having grown up in a town called Bethlehem, David Farrier has always been drawn to the stranger side of life. After failing miserably to get into medical school, Farrier graduated with a journalism degree from Auckland University of Technology and began work on late-night news show Nightline as an entertainment reporter in 2006.

Tickled was Farrier’s opportunity to sink his teeth into a large story, weaving together a complex story into something entertaining, dark, and funny.

He writes for a variety of publications and websites, recently interviewing viral sensation Mia Matsumiya and character actor Stephen Tobolowsky, and writing about his harrowing meeting with Gene Simmons. A segment of his interview with Lorde briefly went viral.

Dylan Reeve – Co-Director

Dylan knew at the age of eight that he wanted to make TV shows and movies. But after leaving school he accidentally fell into a varied career in IT and the Internet, having started his working life with fledgling ISP Ihug in the mid 90s when The Internet was still new enough to be capitalised.

Dylan has written, produced and directed a handful of short films in the past. He currently spends his days the Head of Post-Production on daily TV drama Shortland Street.

Dylan was drawn into this project by David’s early Facebook musings, and quickly found himself in the middle of a strange and rapidly unfolding tale. Somehow making a documentary about the whole thing just seemed natural
