This playful and clever film follows a group of RPG gamers as they attempt to run a campaign without dying – in the game, that is.

Whether you’re a seasoned Dungeon Master or just a curious bystander to the D&D realm, this film is packed with inside jokes, witty banter, and enough dorky charm to make a Beholder crack a smile. So, grab your lucky D20 because ‘The Gamers: Dorkness Rising’ is about to take you on an unforgettable journey through the frustratingly awesome realm of table top gaming!

“Struggling writer Lodge (Nathan Rice) isn’t asking for much: he wants his gaming group – Gary (Christian Doyle), Cass (Brian S. Lewis), and Leo (Scott C. Brown) – to finish playtesting his table-top adventure, rather than killing, looting, and debauching his fantasy world. Desperate to save the integrity of his story from the whims of his players’ crazy characters—a horny bard (Leo), wild sorceress (Gary), and cryptic monk (Cass) — Lodge allows Joanna (Carol Roscoe), Cass’s ex-girlfriend to join the game.

With Joanna’s help, the group’s characters trek deep into the fantasy game world to retrieve the Mask of Death from evil necromancer Mort Kemnon (Geoff Gibbs). Will their choices in the game save their friendships in real life…or will Mort Kemnon triumph unopposed?”
Be sure to bring your whole gaming table group and of course your lucky D20 to roll for concession discounts!
