Heroes of Cosplay

HEROES OF COSPLAY is a documentary series that follows teams of cosplayers (folks who dress up in elaborate costumes in order to personify different comic book, TV, film, and gaming characters) as they design and build sophisticated costumes, and compete for cash and recognition at conventions across the country. Cosplayers like Victoria Schmidt, Chloe Dykstra, Riki LeCotey, and Jessi Lagers work hard to come up with new and innovative costumes that will impress judges, including renown cosplay hero and judge Yaya Han. Meanwhile, former heroes like Jessica Merizan and Holly Conrad use artistry, attention to detail, and their knowledge of the cosplay world to retake the cosplay world by storm. Whether newcomers or veterans, they all love what they do, but they also know that winning competitions and becoming heroes will lead to a growing fan base and potentially profitable business opportunities.
