Explore The Work and Career Of a Comic Book Mastermind in Frank Miller: American Genius
Frank Miller: American Genius documents the unique journey of an unparalleled American artist. The film explores the nearly half-century career of the legendary comic book artist and writer. Made for his fans following a near-death experience, the documentary delves into Miller’s radical and defining influence on art, storytelling, and culture. Following his small-town beginnings in Vermont, to New York City, Hollywood, and beyond, this intimate documentary delves into his failures, successes, self-destruction, and rediscovery.
“The genesis of the documentary came from various sources and fans urging us to document this great American genius who had recently survived a near-death experience,” shared Thomas. “As we started this process, Miller had just begun his recovery. He had a clear lust for life, a desire to reclaim years of “wasted time” and further his artistic identity. Before the pandemic, Miller had returned to traveling and working on a range of new projects. The further we followed him on this journey, the more we uncovered the craft of comic book-making. It was and continues to be a world inspired by women, artists, writers, craftsmen, and a global group of eager and astute fans. This movie is for them; to become a part of, and further explore, the inner workings of their idol and sensei, Frank Miller.”
