Phoenix Comicon is the place to be for fans of anything pop culture, and it gets bigger every year. It’s awesome to see how the Convention Center becomes it’s own planet, in a way. Every few years, I’m fortunate to be able to participate in their film festival, and this year will be equally special. Here’s what’s happening:
Spirits of the Force: 10-Year Reunion
It’s been ten years since we released our first Star Wars fan film, which played at one of the first Phoenix Comicons in 2005. Now, a full trilogy later, myself and the original cast reunite to discuss fan films and what it was like playing in the galaxy far, far away.
(Friday, June 7, 1:30pm, North 225a) – Event link
Spirits of the Force Trilogy: Tenth Anniversary Screening
Playing Spirits of the Force, Fool’s Errand, and Reflections of Evil.

Which reminds me… I may or may not attempt to see Nathan Fillion or three of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers while I’m there…
