The Story:
The Last Campaign is a fantasy/comedy short film following a group of friends as they embark on their final tabletop role-playing adventure. Together, they must slay a dragon and, in doing so, come to terms with the end of their shared journey. It’s a heartfelt celebration of friendship, growing up, and the worlds we create together.

Meet the characters: (artist: Vanessa Ndikanwu)
DEAN - Dean is the Dungeon Master, a socially awkward and imaginative storyteller whose role bridges the fantasy world and real-life struggles. Despite creating the fantasy world, he just can't seem to expand his own real one anymore than it already is.
DEX - Dex is pragmatic, disciplined, and the moral centre of the group. They naturally lead both in the campaign as an archer and in life as the voice of reason. Dex is focused on where his future will lead him that he forgets to let some time for his inner-child to experience the happiness he finds playing the game with his friends.
CHARLIE - Charlie is the life of the group, playing a knight with a humorously destructive streak that mirrors her real-life role as the group’s protector and social glue. She's an all or nothing kinda girl, her passions may lead her to act before she thinks.
ANDRE - Andre is the dreamer of the group, embodying a whimsical healer in the campaign while grappling with real-life expectations his father puts on him, teaching him to be selfish to get ahead in life. Andre will do what he can to make sure his friends stay together 'til the very end.
This project means a lot to us all, we are a growing community, a safe-space for all and with your help we can expand this community and create an inspiring film full of acceptance, love and fantasy!
Thank you,
Olive Morris
