The Dwarvenaut (2016)
Art, Imagination and Pathos with The Dwarvenaut
A sweet, quirky and often unflinching and melancholy look into the world of Artist Stefhan Pokorny, Role Playing Evangelist. This is a wonderfully charming documentary that reminds us how important it is to maintain a sense of wild wonder in one's creativity and to seize joy and fun at every opportunity. As a classically trained artist, Stefan finds himself at odds with the New York art scene, but finds an outlet and makes a living indulging his passion, creating and marketing environments for Dungeons & Dragons games.
The movie could have perhaps done with a short primer at the start to introduce the audience to what exactly Dungeons & Dragons and Role-Playing Games are about, but that's a minor quibble- it's a wonderful, touching paean to the love of family and the liberation to be gained in following your artistic vision.
Highly recommended.
