While ... The Dwarvenaut won't break any new ground in terms of nonfiction narrative, it will ideally open up viewers eyes to the fact that art goes far beyond what's painted or drawn.

Under the Radar

Pokorny's heart is a good one and his devotion to Dungeons & Dragons as a powerful social experiment is admirable. It's a shame the social engagement barely reaches anyone else in Dwarvenaut.

Rated: 5.5/10

Nothing groundbreaking--and kind of a fluff piece--but an enjoyable watch nonetheless.

Stefan Pokorny is an artist, sculptor and Dungeons & Dragons fan who turned entrepreneur. The film delves into his life and influences as it follows the year long process to produce his greatest and most successful project yet, the Dwarven Forge City Builder. Which is the culmination of his passion for art and gaming.
