Hobocon is pleased to announce that we are joining up with KAR (Kalamazoo Animal Rescue) to present the first charity showing of Hobocon. A portion of all ticket and onsite DVD sales will go directly to KAR.

Hobocon follows Jason, Rob and Wilhelm as the work their way through one of the largest gaming conventions in the nation, GenCon. Doctor Boxcar (Jason), The Pixie (Wilhelm), and Benny (Rob) lived the “hobo” life and documented every second of it on video. Armed only with their wits (which are slim) and the good graces of other convention goers (which are no doubt wearing thin from it all), they made it through. This documentary was almost the death of Benny, brought extreme fatigue to Dr. Boxcar and endless joy to the Pixie (he loves the crazy)!

Hobocon in not like other notable gaming themed documentaries. Hobocon “gets it”. They did not make a movie just for the hard core gamer nor did they set out to make a stare–at–the–freaks exposé. Hobocon is for everyone from the non-gamer to the over-the-top cos-player. Throughout the movie, Hobocon takes the time to interview a wide cast of characters and let them voice what this culture is all about. Simply put, Hobocon is more than just a fun look at GenCon it is a fun look into a world that is often never seen.

Hobocon has a run time of 1 hour and 19 min and would be considered to be rated at PG-13 due to some adult themed conservations. Hobocon will be shown at Kalamazoo 10 on January 28th at 7:00 pm.
