About
BOBBY FOX is a dark horse political candidate running for Congress in Nevada. He's an unpredictable fringe figure, known for wild conspiracy theories about inter-dimensional invaders, but lately his message has become surprisingly popular. During a radio show, Bobby is accused of murdering one of his two daughters, who died twenty years ago under mysterious circumstances. His staff tries to bury these rumors, but Bobby goes rogue and starts searching for his remaining daughter, threatening his entire campaign as he confronts his past. Intercut with this story, we follow the events of twenty years ago. KRISTEN, Bobby's older daughter, comes home from college to find her father missing, and her kid sister RUBY left all alone. They track Bobby down, only to discover that their father has suffered a complete mental breakdown. Kristen tries to care for her father, but Bobby soon spirals into paranoid and potentially violent delusions. When Bobby threatens to drag Ruby down with him into his alternate reality, Kristen realizes she must protect her sister, and herself, from her own father. Meanwhile, in the present, the election hovers in the limbo of a recount. Trapped between his memories and his madness, Bobby begins to see new evidence of his invasion theories, but isn't sure what to believe anymore. Are his delusions taking over, or is he less crazy than he appears? BOBBY FOX IN THE LOWER DIMENSION is a modern American folk tale: a swirling vortex of family tragedy, political satire, and inter-dimensional intrigue.

About
By the middle of the 12th century, the borders of the Mongolian Empire stretched from the Adriatic and Mediterranean Seas in the west to the southern lands of China in the east. The Mongolian army, under Khan Batu’s command, was known for its invisibility, destroying anyone who dared to challenge them. Yet, even within their central territories, some areas refused to bow to the Genghisids. Kozelsk was one of them. The Mongolian armies bypassed the high walls of this small town, considering that "the skin of the wolf was not worth the risk of encountering its teeth".
However, one of the Khan’s commanders harbored a grudge against the town's citizens. Now, the people of Kozelsk must face a battle against the strongest army in the world, with no hope of victory. This is a story about people facing their death. Some try to escape, others are willing to do anything to survive, but most are prepared to protect their city from the relentless storms of the Mongolian hordes. The siege of the town lasted for two months, and according to legend, Khan Batu, impressed by the fierce determination of the townspeople to defend their home, ordered that Kozelsk be renamed Fierce Town, erasing its original name from history.
