Cabin 9 Films also announced the addition of L. Gabriel Gonda as Co-Director. “[Gonda] has a long history with this troupe,” wrote Writer/Director Matt Vancil. “If you’ve watched most any ZOE production over the last decade, you’ve seen his work.” Gabriel is the director of Dark Dungeons, Strowlers, Gamers the Series, and most recently Liberty Cabbage.

Gamers 4: Dorkness Falls is the conclusion to the feature-length film trilogy that started with Dorkness Rising (2008), and continued with Hands of Fate (2013). It is seeking $500,000 on Kickstarter through June 29th to fund the production. Visit www.DorknessFalls.com for more information on the campaign.

Preproduction will begin in Fall 2024, and production in Spring 2025. The film is slated for a December
2026 release.

Cabin 9 Films is part of Matt Vancil’s Bearfoot Media LLC, and is managing the production of Dorkness Falls.

The Gamers: Dorkness Rising was produced by Dead Gentlemen Productions and Epic Level
Entertainment, filmed in 2005, with a Gen Con premiere in 2006. Distribution of the film began in 2008.
1,796 people backed a Kickstarter campaign in 2015 to produce a Definitive Edition Blu-Ray of the cult
