'Cult of Nerd' is an award winning documentary short filmed and edited over the course of 2023 and 2024. This film explores the power of community & passion through the lens of a niche pastime: miniature wargaming. The story centers around a group of wargamers in the Philadelphia area, bonded by a mutual love of the hobby.
This film was a labor of love. I've spent most of my life as a part of the miniature wargaming community and through my camera lens, I hoped to share with the world a hobby that so few know anything about. Community and shared passion are tentpoles of this film, as it explores what it means to truly be a part of something.
