Stripped - Kickstarter documentary

aidan_walsh

Not sure if you guys have seen this, but Sheldon's Dave Kellett and cinematographer Fred Shroeder have been working for the last two years on a documentary about comics.

This film is our love-letter to the art form: Bringing together 60 of the world's best cartoonists into one extraordinary, feature-length documentary. The film sits down with creators to talk about how cartooning works, why it's so loved, and how as artists they're navigating this dicey period between print and digital options...when neither path works perfectly. We want this film to capture the extraordinary people behind the comics you love, to show how they work, and to ask the question: "Where does the art form go from here?"

They're nearly done, and have put together a Kickstarter project to help offset the post-production costs, as well as raise funds for other aspects that they would not be able to do otherwise.

There is a short trailer giving glimpses of the interviews on the project homepage, as well as an update below with a few more snippets so you can see for yourself whether you might enjoy it.

I've already chipped my bit in, and there are still 16 days left to be able to contribute.

What do you guys think? Look like something you might be interested in?

Bump of an oldie here, but these guys are nearly ready to go and have pulled off quite a coup. Not only is Bill Watterson contributing to the film by lending his perspective, but they've also convinced him to draw the official poster.

Nice one aidan That poster by Watterson is great. Must keep an eye out for this, it sounds like it should be right up my alley.
