The Crowdfunded Production Shows the Human Side of the Power of Storytelling
Filmmaker Brett Culp realized his passion project, Legends of the Knight, with the help of generous donors and now the feature-length documentary is preparing to be screened across the country and to become available on Blu-ray, DVD, and digital download beginning in February. The not-for-profit production examines the influence that the fictional DC Comics superhero Batman has had on real people from all walks of life, most poignantly described by those who faced life threatening illnesses. Culp shines a light on how people draw inspiration from stories and heroes that enable them to embody a similar fighting spirit.
The film features interviews with experts including the producer of practically every Batman feature, live-action or animated, Michael Uslan, psychologist Dr. Travis Langley author of Batman and Psychology: A Dark and Stormy Knight, comics blogger/journalist Jill Pantozzi, and legendary comic book writer/editor Denny O'Neil.
Proceeds from screenings will go to local charities in screening cities and products sold on their website store will also go to charity. Check out the trailer now and support a great cause.
