Riddle of Fire

Rating: Not Rated

Language: English

On a quest to deliver a pie, three rascal children embark on a woodland odyssey to battle a witch, outwit a huntsman, befriend a fairy, and become best friends forever in this charming debut from directing sensation Weston Razooli.

Although shot on nostalgic 16mm, this throwback to the endearingly naive, occasionally disturbing kids’ films of yesteryear slyly updates the adventure movie for the screen-obsessed generation. Recommended if you like Fantastic Fest, Vinegar Syndrome, and Arrow Video.

This film was supported by Utah Film Center’s Fiscal Sponsorship Program. Fiscal Sponsorship has supported over 450 projects.
