Our comedic take on Tolkien made its world premiere at the MisCon International Short Film Festival. 2026 marked the festival's 40th anniversary of celebrating fantasy, horror, and science-fiction films. They took over Montana's Missoula County Fairgrounds.
Each year MisCon has a different theme. This year's theme was "The Upside Down". More than just movie screenings, the festival included a Monster Tent, a Dragon Pavillion and a Dungeon, with lots of vendors, games, cosplay, food trucks -- creating an immersive Ren Faire vibe.
