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:

..
Who I'd like to meet:

We are looking to meet students, librarians, teachers and anyone who is interested in comics, education and reading in general.

Additionally, we are seeking comic professionals for on-camera interviews!

Please help Walter Koenig, "Chekov from Star Trek TOS", Get His Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! Walter has been nominated for his star and waltersstar.com has raised the money to manufacture and install the star (Thanks!). All Walter needs now is the votes of the Walk of Fame Committee.
  Write to the Walk of Fame Committee a polite letter in your own words, why you think Walter should have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. These NEED to be letters from each individual fan in the fan's own words. Not copies, Not form letters, Not chain letters.
