If my video production has seemed sparse lately, this is why. I’ve been working on some promotional videos for my friend Mark Monlux‘s new book, The Comic Critic Presents Seldom Seen Films.
The book is a collection of select installments of Mark’s movie reviewing comic strip, The Comic Critic. The comic strip provides quick, humorous, spoiler-free reviews of the films Mark has seen. For this book, he’s picked out the under-seen movies – the movies you didn’t see because you were too busy watching the big blockbuster instead – and brought them to the foreground.
I first met Mark through the weekly chalk-offs at Frost Park. He is one of the most creative and talented artists I’ve had the pleasure of meeting during my time in Tacoma, even if he did steal Princess Leia from me. (She was rightfully mine, Mark!)
I’m proud to say I own a copy of this, his first book, as well as the T-shirt he made out of The Comic Critic‘s review of Donnie Darko. I advise everyone to take a look at it, buy it, and then sit impatiently by the mailbox until it arrives.
