The screening will include a live onstage interview with Mike Mignola, the legendary creator of Hellboy, alongside documentary filmmakers Jim Demonakos and Kevin Konrad Hanna, and Secret Movie Club founder Craig Hammill. The evening will begin with a special 35mm archive print screening of Universal Studios’ iconic Frankenstein, the James Whale-directed film.

“I am thrilled that Mike Mignola: Drawing Monsters will be playing to the public in both Los Angeles and Portland,” said Kevin Konrad Hanna, one of the film’s two directors. “It will be a fun opportunity to see the film on the big screen, but even more so, to see it and experience it with a crowd, that’s an experience I very much look forward to.”
 

“We filmed all over the world, but it’s no exaggeration to say that a majority of our film was shot between Portland and Los Angeles,” said Jim Demonakos, the other half of the filmmaking team, “To be able to come to these two cities for our some of our first major public screenings is really exciting, we can’t wait to see the audience’s reaction!”



When Mike Mignola created Hellboy, he unleashed a visionary comic book character and launched an entire universe populated by unique heroes and creatures, misfits, and monsters. The Mike Mignola: Drawing Monsters documentary has been appearing at film festivals and has received multiple awards on the festival circuit.

Score: ★★★★1/2 (4.5/5) There are certain comic book creators whose books I'll pick up without hesitation. One of those creators is Jeff Lemire. He instills confidence knowing that his stories will be thoughtful and engaging. You add a talented artist like Dustin Nguyen on another collaborative effort and well, 'Little Monsters,' is a must-buy. I know, shocking.   They team up again with an intriguing post-apocalyptic vampire tale featuring "the last children on Earth" who've been left to their own devices among the ruin...
