Exploring how relatability in comics can validate and transform the lives of readers.
Throughout the documentary, three men: Vuk Milutinovic, Gaetano Segreto, and Peter Schaffer, will share how comic books helped them process complex feelings and emotions in life. We understand it’s very hard to feel validated in a world of constant media intake as young people ourselves.
Through the stylization of a living comic book and the framing of scenes becoming dynamic panels in our documentary, we will explore the conflicts of the subjects and comic arcs/characters they discuss as well as what it means to feel emotionally validated as a man.
