Warden- VOD, DVD             https://youtu.be/fsdO16A70Us?si=FFAoT8j1YyZ-vn4q

WARDEN explores the real-world impact of an ordinary kid who discovers he has superpowers and decides he can save his ailing city and further impact the lives of those forever changed by the rise of the world’s first superhero. Unlike traditional superhero tales, WARDEN focuses on the effect of a superhero’s presence on ordinary people as it portrays the diverse reactions of those who love him, those who sell their souls for him, those who fight against him, and those who seek the truth amidst the chaos. Presented in a faux documentary style, WARDEN connects the rise of superhero stories with their fantasies of solitary, righteous figures working outside the system to bring justice. It also examines how such characters might influence society.
