"Scenes From The Small Press: Mainstream Raw" DVD A documentary by Rich
Henn, the 1st in a series of films on the comic book industry. "With such intimate discussions with comics' most recognized creators, this is one comic book documentary that should come with a VIP pass!"--Zentertainment.com "Comic book fans/creators rejoice, we now have our own documentary."--Moviepoopshoot.com "Henn is well on his way to providing an essential and eye-opening chronicle of the living history of comics through the minds and mouths of the people who have shaped the medium. "-– Arnold T. Blumberg, Senior Editor, CINESCAPE "You may think you know comics. You may even think you know some of the people who create comics. But you don’t know dick until you watch "Mainstream: Raw."--Silverbulletcomicbooks.com "The film that promises to throw back the proverbial curtain and shed some light on the dark side of the industry." Suggested for everyone with a keen interest in comics and the creators behind them. The following review from CINESCAPE! "The words “uncut” and “unedited” often carry with them the promise of forbidden pleasures, and while there is no excessive profanity to be found in Rich Henn’s new comic book documentary film, SCENES FROM THE SMALL PRESS - MAINSTREAM: RAW (except perhaps for a few minutes in Grendel creator Matt Wagner’s segment) – there are also a number of welcome surprises in store for any aficionado.Henn has interviewed some of the most influential creators in the industry for a series of films that promises to throw back the proverbial curtain and force us to pay attention to the people behind it. Boasting appearances by Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada, DC Senior Editor Bob Schrek, Frank Miller, Colleen Doran, Dave Gibbons, Carla Speed McNeil, the aforementioned Wagner, and Henn himself, MAINSTREAM: RAW does indeed offer a raw look at the comic book biz that is at once enlightening, disturbing – Doran’s segment alone lays bare a sad but true dark side of the industry – and inspiring. Footage from Miller’s now legendary Pittsburgh convention appearance – yes, the Wizard speech – is worth the price of admission alone despite Miller’s overworked histrionics, but the rest of the material is equally entertaining, and in Doran’s case, rather sobering as well. Henn is well on his way to providing an essential and eye-opening chronicle of the living history of comics through the minds and mouths of the people who have shaped the medium."
