Dig Comics World Premiere Screening at San Diego Comic-Con International Film Festival
Olmos Productions To Produce Long-Form Follow-Up
LOS ANGELES – The documentary short film Dig Comics has
been selected for screening at the Comic-Con International: Independent
Film Festival on July 25, 2009. An exclusive question and answer
session with director/host Miguel Cima will precede the screening.
Including interviews with Eisner®-winning writer Jeph Loeb (Lost, Heroes) and indie comics visionary Dame Darcy (Meatcake), as well as animation by Scott Shaw! (The Flintstones, Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew) and Emmy®-winning Russell Calabrese (Pinky and the Brain), the documentary challenges America to Dig Comics.
The documentary is hosted by writer/director Miguel Cima, who talks
with comic book creators and retailers. He also conducts unique
man-on-the-street experiments to find out what happened with America’s
affection for comics.
Both a love letter to the American art form of comics and a call to arms to increase the dwindling audience, Dig Comics
has already won the attention of Edward James Olmos’ company Olmos
Productions, which has agreed to produce a long-form full-length Dig Comics.
Olmos believes that as a medium, comic books not only increase literacy
but also serves as an inspirational learning tool for both students and
teachers.
