Freakin’ Fantasy (2022)

Freakin’ Fantasy was created for the Knoxville 7-Day Shootout, a high-speed competition where we had just one week to write, shoot, and edit a film. It was the origin story of Dennis Films as we know it, marking a pivotal first time collaboration after many years between Andrew Dennis, Allison Felty, and Matthew Dennis. Alongside Annie Brown, we leaned into outrageous comedy, fantasy tropes, and unexpected heart to create something completely our own.

The story follows Doob the Wizard, an offbeat, underdog hero on a wild quest to become a Grand Master Wizard. This film blended the absurd charm of the Dennis Brothers era with the early sparks of the narrative style we’ve become known for.

The characters from Freakin’ Fantasy left a lasting impact on us, probably more than any other film we’ve done to date. They’ll return. Maybe not as you expect, but we’re not done with them yet.
