Very excited that @travelerandtrollfilm is playing @hollyshortscomedy this Saturday. Been all over the place with this short and love that it’s playing in LA. Come on out on Saturday night if you’re around and want to watch some horror comedy.
Working on the ‘behind the scenes’ for @travelerandtrollfilm and I’m so proud and astonished by all the amazing work our cast and crew put into this film. Made by human hands and made with love for fantasy and filmmaking. Excited to bring this film to more people this year so they can see all of the incredible art our team accomplished.

Was fortunate enough to have a very busy 2025 as we took our film across the country and internationally to a bunch of incredible festivals. This year has been terrifying for obvious reasons, but getting to see our film with friends, family, and new friends we made out on the road really helped. Love you all.

The Traveler & The Troll / Dir. Adam Murray (USA) Atlantic Canadian Premiere
A Traveler stops to rest in a clearing of a long haunted forest. They soon learn they are not alone and have stumbled upon the lair of a terrifying troll who demands gifts for passage.
With no coin or treasure to give, the Traveler must answer three of the Troll’s riddles to survive the night and leave the forest with their soul intact. Much to the Troll’s surprise, the Traveler is more of an adversary than the Troll ever could have expected.
Adam Murray was born and raised in Toms River, New Jersey. After graduating from University of the Arts in Philadelphia, he moved to Los Angeles, and has worked in both live-action and animation for the past decade.
Opening for Deathstalker • Saturday Nov 8th at 9:00 PM 🎟️ FOGFEST.ca
