ABOUT THE FILM: Following a group of dysfunctional adventurers on a quest to discover and destroy the mythical Sword of Fighting, JOURNEYQUEST is a comedic adventure through the fantasy world of Fartherall, where intellectual orcs, incompetent wizards, and holy zombies form the living (and not-so-living) backdrop to an epic story of unrequited love, burning passions, and severely reluctant heroism. And running away. Lots of running away… Source: imdb.com/title/tt1715332

ABOUT THE DIRECTOR: Matt Vancil is the creator of JOURNEYQUEST and the co-developer of STROWLERS for Zombie Orpheus Entertainment. In his years as head writer for Dead Gentlemen Productions, he wrote a number of features and short films, including most notably the DEMON HUNTERS and GAMERS films. Vancil’s debut as a writer/director resulted in the wildly successful cult fantasy comedy THE GAMERS, which won the 2003 Gen Con Film Festival and has screened at fantasy conventions and festivals worldwide. The feature-length sequel, THE GAMERS: DORNKESS RISING, premiered at Gen Con in 2006 and screened at Comic Con in 2008. The film found DVD distribution through Anthem Pictures later that year, and is available on Amazon and Netflix. In 2008, Margaret Weis Productions adapted the DEMON HUNTERS movies into a role-playing game in their award-winning Cortex System, which already hosts games based on Battlestar Galactica and Joss Whedon’s Serenity. Vancil also created the zombie survival horror show ALIVE with Star Trek: Enterprise veterans Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens and Epic Level Entertainment. He is a graduate of the American Film Institute with an MFA in Screenwriting. Source: journey-quest.com
