\"SurvivingThe documentary \u201cSurviving Supercon<\/a>\u201d follows the Supercon team led by \u201cfire and ice\u201d duo Michael \u201cMike\u201d Broder and Sandy Martin and offers a behind-the scenes look at what it takes to organize and successfully execute Florida Supercon<\/a>, a multi-day, high-attendance event for fans of all things pop culture, including comic books, anime, video games, wrestling, and cosplay.<\/p>\n

**SPOILERS**<\/p>\n

\u201cSurviving Supercon\u201d was produced, directed, partially shot, and edited by Steven Shea<\/a> of Abyssmal Entertainment. Of his nineteen director and twenty-six producer credits on IMDb, this is his first full-length documentary. Shea founded Abyssmal Entertainment, based in Los Angeles, California, in 2002. He and the Abyssmal team work on short films, music videos, and nonfiction narratives in addition to comic and animation services. They also offer corporate content development.<\/p>\n

The color scheme and visual effects (by Ryan Shovey and Jason Murphy respectively) are exactly what one would expect from Abyssmal Entertainment and in a film that celebrates the history and wonder that is fantasy-related geek culture.<\/p>\n

\"SurvivingIn a scene reminiscent of its comic book-style film poster, the documentary opens with footage of fans flooding into the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on the first day of the 2018 Supercon event.<\/p>\n

In Act I, we learn about Mike and how he came to found what later became the nationally recognized brand that is Supercon. As documentary film viewers would expect, we learn much of this through interviews with Mike\u2019s mother, friends, influencers and early supporters, Supercon staff, and living artists, including Golden Age of Comics artist Allen Bellman<\/a> who has since passed away.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As part of its strong setup, we learn about how Mike and Sandy met and married. The story then moves on to last-minute show prep and problem solving. Graphics counting down the days to Supercon add pops of color and a reminder of the film\u2019s implied focus\u2014Florida Supercon.<\/p>\n

In a set-up that never pays off (one of several), we\u2019re told about an incoming hurricane. Manufactured stakes aside, with only two days before the doors open tension is rising. If they haven\u2019t already, aspiring event organizers should start taking notes because as Mike says, \u201cThings are gonna happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Act II is predominately about all the stuff that happens\u2014how it goes wrong, when it goes wrong, and why it goes wrong. Much of the drama involves parties that Mike describes as \u201csecurity\u201d and \u201c\u201csecurity<\/i>\u201d\u201d with double air quotes. This distinction provides much of the tension and I-can\u2019t-believe-this-is-happening humor for the audience. Villains abound but attendees are shown having the time of their lives. Most of Act II is well paced with a satisfying escalation of tension and periodic releases that show how much goes right and what this event means to its organizers.<\/p>\n

Despite the firm hands (and occasionally yelling\u2014screaming?) required to bring order to chaos, Mike and Sandy\u2019s commitment to the safety and entertainment of their guests and attendees is obvious. Shea does an excellent job of showing how fire and ice come together to create an atmosphere of warmth for their celebrity guests, attendees, and staff.<\/p>\n

\"GuestsThe film delivers on its title and poster when the focus is on Mike and Sandy and the inherent conflicts and joys of pulling off an event that attracts more than 50,000 people and offers a variety of entertainment options every hour of every day the convention runs. Unfortunately, \u201cSurviving Supercon\u201d seems to have a split focus.<\/p>\n

Early on Shea introduces us to a trio (one of whom had officiated Mike and Sandy\u2019s wedding). Later we learn that the trio wrote the \u201cbased on a true story\u201d movie \u201cSupercon\u201d released in 2018. Mike states that because \u201cthey were buddies\u201d he had allowed the trio to film B-Roll at his Supercon show and gave his blessing to use the Supercon name. Beyond that, he says that he \u201cdidn\u2019t have any input in the script or casting.\u201d<\/p>\n

During an interview for the \u201cSurviving Supercon\u201d documentary, the officiator of Mike and Sandy\u2019s wedding describes antagonist, Gil Burkhaulter, of his \u201cSupercon\u201d film as an exaggerated version of Mike Broder. Promotional material for the movie characterizes Gil Burkhaulter as a \u201csleaze-ball promoter.\u201d The movie\u2019s \u201cbased on a true story\u201d claim turns out to be based on something that happened at a different con\u2014one not associated with Mike and held in a different state. Of their film, one of the trio says that Mike hated it<\/i>. Who wouldn\u2019t?<\/p>\n

But what does this have to do with a documentary about what it takes to organize and execute Florida Supercon<\/a>? Apparently, nothing. It doesn\u2019t move the \u201cSurviving Supercon\u201d story forward in any way.<\/p>\n

Perhaps more importantly, it begs so many questions that it became for me the most interesting thing about this documentary. Why does Shea give these people a platform to promote their piece of work? Why would they willingly and gleefully describe their film and Mike the way they do? I expected Shea to pull it all together in the end, creating a complete narrative arc for both the Supercon event and this drama. But he offers no clear resolution.<\/p>\n

In the third act, however, we learn about a possible motive. Mike says that during the filming of the documentary he\u2019s been in talks with a company interested in purchasing Supercon. The filmmaker also takes an opportunity driven by a good deed done by a Supercon attendee as the show was winding down to lay out the Supercon organization\u2019s community involvement and charitable efforts. (Of note is that the shift is jarring and disconnected from the comic book fun and games style of the movie poster.) The phrase \u201cbrand rehabilitation\u201d sprang to mind.<\/p>\n

Anyone who has subjected themselves to the full runtime of \u201cSupercon\u201d will likely understand and forgive this impulse. But they may also be left with nagging questions: What is \u201cSurviving Supercon\u201d about? Is it about surviving Supercon? Or is about surviving \u201cSupercon\u201d? And is this a documentary film produced to educate and entertain a specific audience, or was the production of this film driven by the business concerns of its subjects?<\/p>\n

If the film is about surviving \u201cSupercon,\u201d it did its job. ReedPOP acquired Florida Supercon in March of 2019 allowing Mike and Sandy to move forward with more ambitious plans for events around the country.<\/p>\n

If the film is about surviving Supercon 2018, it did its job. Despite the problems created by many failures of the \u201csecurity\u201d team as well as the pop-up challenges expected during an event of its size and complexity, celebrity guests and attendees raved about the event, Mike and Sandy, and the dedication of the Supercon staff. This educational and heartwarming documentary is worth watching for anyone interested in starting or growing a conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cSurviving Supercon\u201d will be available on DVD and Blu-Ray from Abyssmal Entertainment on November 9th, 2021. It is also be available on rental, streaming and downloading via Vudu, Amazon Prime Video, Vimeo<\/a> and Google Play Movies and TV.<\/p>\n
