KENNEWICK — When you think of Comic Con, you probably think of fans of science fiction, comic book character cosplays and movie stars meeting lifelong fans. You likely don’t think of eastern Washington representation at the iconic convention in San Diego.
But last month, a Tri-Cities-based film production company had its short film shown to attendees at the 2024 Comic Con.
The award-winning short film “Gamma Man” out of local company 2047 Productions found an all-new audience, showing a piece of Richland to Comic Con participants from all over.
Local short film “Gamma Man”
“Gamma Man” tells the story of Kevin, an incredibly shy young man who dreams of being a hero. He runs into his high school crush, Devyn, but finds he’s still too shy to ask her out. Their conversation is interrupted by thugs robbing the store, prompting Kevin to step up and save Devyn as his superhero alter ego, Gamma Man.
