Hi-Sci-Fi

Friday is all right for nerding

HiSciFi - Independents, All About Indie Comics, live with Chris Brandt

This week we had the pleasure of having Chris Brandt join us live to discuss his latest documentary, “Independents: A Guide for the Creative Spirit,” a showcase of indie comic book artists. Being an independent anything these days is a difficult as well as exciting prospect, and Brandt, a long time artist as well as a fan, dedicates this film to the art of comic book creation.

Check out the Independents.

RE: Independents

I find the work of Brandt, and I did get a chance to catch a glimpse of this doc during some festival a few weeks back, admirable, and strangely disheartening.

If I had a bazillion dollars, I would give it to comic book artists. Anyone has a number for Bill Gates?

Your show kicks ass btw. Huge fan!

Disheartening

Hello. If you walked away disheartened, I can only assume it was due to your only having caught a glimpse of it. :-)

I am consistently told audiences that they felt inspired after a full viewing.

RE: Disheartening

Wow!!! I can’t believe that Chris Brandt would reply to this!!!

I just want to say that your doc rocks, and I really loved all of it. I guess I need to clarify - the disheartening part of it is the aspect of seeing so much creativity and effort on the part of artists that goes virtually unnoticed.

I loved this film and I am truly honored that you would reply to my comment!

Loved the Independents! I just got to see it with a friend at a convention, and it’s really really good. Thanks for the recommendation!

Indepdendents Rock

It’s been a while since I got to see a documentary this fun, and full of amazing people. I haven’t been reading comics or been paying attention to independent arts, but I’m pleasantly surprised and induced to find out more.

I am a big fan of this delightful show - HiSciFi really fillls my days. I just hope you guys get really big, really soon, because quite frankly, you deserve it.
