FFFA: We're All Going to the World's Fair

“Impossible to shake… an auspicious, wildly smart narrative feature debut.” - Indiewire

Late on a cold night, in an attic bedroom somewhere in America, teenage Casey is Illuminated only by the cold glow of a computer monitor. With a nervous smile she repeats:

I want to go to the World’s Fair
I want to go to the World’s Fair
I want to go to the World’s Fair

This incantation signals her entry into an ominous online challenge, supposedly causing reality-altering effects on its participants. As Casey attempts to document the changesthat may or may not be happening to her, a foreboding sense of doom seeps in from her video diaries. A strange figure soon reaches out from a dark corner of the internet. Are they offering guidance or are their intentions of a sinister nature?

This Sundance breakout seamlessly weaves psychological horror and the peripheral digital landscape into an immersive and terrifying experience of psychological decay.
