Bonkers Trailer For SANTACON Explores The Wild Origins of The "Most Hated Event on the Planet"
The trailer for Seth Porges’ new documentary Santacon has finally dropped, and it looks absolutely wild. From the creative team that brought us Class Action Park, this film dives into the chaotic true story behind one of the most infamous holiday events ever.
What started as a lighthearted stunt in the 1990s spiraled into a global phenomenon of epic proportions, packed with bizarre antics, public mayhem, and an unexpected cultural legacy.
“How did an event that once sparked wonder and awe become one of the most hated days of the year?” That’s the central question driving Santacon, and the trailer promises a rollercoaster through decades of madness.
Using a mix of archival footage and new interviews. The synopsis reads: “The true story behind the world's most hated event is not what you think. Come with us back in time to the 1990s and watch as a sea of Santas climb the Brooklyn Bridge under the shadow of the Twin Towers, sing Christmas carols with Michael Moore, accuse Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk of being an undercover cop, face off against a phalanx of riot police who believe the Santas to be terrorists, and engage in countless antics and shenanigans that will force you to question your very sense of reality, and of what is possible in this world.”
The doc will pul viewers into a wild holiday odyssey that’s as hilarious as it is jaw-dropping. Santacon looks like it’s going to deliver that perfect mix of chaos and WTF energy that made Class Action Park a cult favorite.
