Surviving Supercon

“Surviving Supercon” trains a surprising lens on all the backstage triumph and tragedy it takes to pull off South Florida’s gigantic Florida Supercon. This documentary follows Mike Broder and his wife and business partner Sandy Martin - a “mom & pop” duo - as they run their four-day convention over a weekend of monumental victories and disasters. From crazy celebrity stories to amazing connections in the wake of unsuspecting tragedy, plus inept security teams and anarchic attendees, the film is a love letter to all the passion and madness it takes to brave a sea of Harley Quinns and deliver a seemingly flawless weekend to the tens of thousands of guests who cross the threshold into a convention center where dreams are made. Hilarious, heartfelt and almost as anxiety-inducing as actually braving the masses and going to a con, this is a warts-and-all look-behind-the-curtain at some of the masters of nerdom!
