Independent filmmaker Jason Trost has an impressive list of accomplishments under his belt, and fans can now contribute to a new celebration and the completion of his latest project with FP Fest. Jason’s work has covered personal horror in How to Save Us, the struggles of heroism in the criminally underrated All Superheroes Must Die, and reality star egos in the buddy comedy Wet And Reckless. His largest claim to fame is the FP franchise, a twisted gangland classic about lethal rhythm games and the madcap 80s inspired nonsense that ensues from those battles. The FP introduced us to the world of Frazier Park in all its glory, death, and ducks. FP2: Beats of Rage took us beyond the apocalypse to a journey of spirit and fire, and FP3: Escape from Bako will continue this journey and lay the groundwork for the promised FP4.
For old fans and everyone new to the action, FP Fest is coming just around the corner, with a crowd-funding campaign that you can support here right now! FP Fest will featur-
