MONSTER CAMP is a rare and fascinating glimpse into the world of live-action role playing, or “LARPing,” a real-life version of World of Warcraft* where gamer stereotypes are simultaneously shattered and confirmed.

Monster Camp meticulously examine the lives of die-hard gamers at NERO Seattle,  one of the 50 franchises worldwide that abides by similar principles, rules, and ideologies. At NERO, for 48 consecutive hours, participants immerse themselves in a world completely unlike our own. Software engineers, department store managers, and high school students by day, for one weekend each month these NERO players transform themselves into warriors, sorcerers, dwarves and lizard people. It is a place where people can be anything, dress any way, and have almost any power. Where players inhabit a world of fantasy, chivalry, and imagination. A world of their own creation. If only for one weekend a month.
