A NEW AGE FOR COMICS
ALL-STAR COMICS | JANUARY 2022 - APRIL 2022
A New Age For Comics is a short documentary featuring Melbourne comic book store All-Star Comics and its struggles during the COVID-19 pandemic. It focuses on the impacts on store sales, distribution loss, retailer uncertainty and finding a ‘new normal’.
As the director and project lead, it was important to create a narrative through our interactions with them, and to portay them respectfully and not imply any information that could defame or damage a customer’s perception of All-Star Comics.
If there were an option to go back and change anything from this project, it would be to add more to their story, to delve deeper into the workings and create a full-bodied narrative.
COVID-19 had a significant impact on the production of this short documentary, where lockdowns restricted wiggle-room in terms of shooting. If there had been less restriction, it would have been more impactful to hear more of their story, and delve deeper into the pandemic’s impact.
