Director Statement

Everyone can agree that high-school cliques can feel like cults. "All Hail Maukavas" is an exhilarating comedy-thriller webseries that follows the story of Scotty, a nerdy high-schooler who stumbles into the clutches of an evil cult. With a focus on themes of identity and belonging, the webseries explores the challenges of high-school and the pressure to conform. When the cult promises to give Scotty everything he wants, he must decide if fulfilling his deepest desires is worth losing his true friends.
