About the Comic Book
Literacy Documentary

Currently
in Post-Production!
The Comic Book Literacy
Documentary is an independent
documentary film project currently in production. The film showcases
comic books as a way to inspire a passion for reading in both children and
adults. Comics have received a lot of bad publicity in the past and
it is the goal of this film to shatter the negative stereotype of comics
as "junk food for the brain" and to show them in a new light.
Comics are a medium as
diverse as movies and encourage more thought than video games. Yet
this misunderstood medium has always been the dirty little secret of the
literature world. From the immigrant who learns English by reading
Superman comics to the child who develops a love of literature from the
X-Men, comics have kept America reading for decades with fantastic tales,
well structured stories and amazing fantasies.
The film is the work of
award winning documentary filmmaker Todd Kent ("Fast Food",
"ToadSpotting", "RockHounds:
The Movie", "Road Does Not
End"). Check out the film's website below:
