"RIDDLE OF FIRE is a neo-fairytale adventure comedy seen through the eyes of four picaresque bandit children: a 16mm witches brew of Grimm's fairytales, Criterion Saturday matinees, Romantic poetry, British folklore, neo-westerns, gasoline, and paintball guns set in the American West. Through this lens, RIDDLE OF FIRE explores how children manage living in fractured households by creating their own worlds, morals, and mythical friendships. RIDDLE OF FIRE is a world of pure adventure, summer in the mountains, magic and love a fairytale for today." - Weston Razooli
