Monster Camp is a documentary that follows the Seattle, Washington chapter of a U.S. LARP (live action role-playing) game organization. Software engineers, department store managers and high school students, for one weekend each month get to become warriors, sorcerers, dwarves and lizard people. People can be anything, dress in any way, and have almost any power.
IMDB shows that Monster Camp has had a limited release, showing only in film festivals in the US, Canada, and once in Israel, so far.
Monster Camp looks like a very entertaining documentary showing us a portion of the population, who in general, wouldn’t be seen much since they would revolve in their own world, which reminds me of the documentary Trekkies. While amusing, the point of Monster Camp is not to laugh at them, but to show us what fantasy escapism is all about.
