Geek, and You Shall Find
Three filmmakers go to a local comic book convention and are so moved by the stories cosplayers tell them that they decide to learn more about geek culture. By going to other conventions around the country and talking to famous creators like Kevin Eastman, Stan Lee, and George R.R. Martin, the three start to figure out not only why people like superheroes and stories about them, but also how being a geek could help them live fuller, more meaningful lives. In Geek, and You Shall Find, the stories of how Superman, Star Wars, Game of Thrones, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came to be are told. By talking about how these characters and their worlds were made, the people who made them show how often they were inspired by real-world problems. Most importantly, by continuing to talk to fans whose lives have been changed by these characters, this movie shows how superheroes could also help fight these social problems.
