Surviving Supercon

The backstage triumph and tragedy it takes to pull off South Florida's gigantic Florida Supercon.

The documentary follows Mike Broder and his wife and business partner Sandy Martin - a "mom and 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!
