Cosplay/er takes a different approach to horror filmmaking by blending the energy of real fan convention culture with cinematic slasher storytelling. Portions of the film will be shot live during St. Pete Comic Con 2027, capturing real crowds, cosplay, vendors, and convention atmosphere that simply cannot be recreated on a soundstage.
The film also embraces a unique casting approach by involving talented cosplayers with backgrounds in acting, performance, live entertainment, horror attractions, stunt work, and character portrayal. From supporting roles to featured opportunities, Cosplay/er aims to bring authentic convention personalities into the world of the film while creating a horror experience deeply connected to cosplay culture itself.
