Synopsis edit

Alan Moore presents the story of his development as an artist, starting with his childhood and working through to his comics career and impact on that medium, and his emerging interest in magic.

The film features the first film adaptations of scenes from Moore's acclaimed series V for Vendetta and Watchmen, shot in early 2002. Another key scene features a direct reference to the character of John Constantine from the comic book Hellblazer. The film also contains a brief look into Lost Girls, which would not be officially released until years later.

Release edit

The film was showcased at the San Francisco World Film Festival and Marketplace 2003 (23–25 October 2003),[2] where it received a Special Recognition Award for creative achievement in documentary filmmaking.[3]

DVD edit

The DVD was released by Shadowsnake Films in April 2008 and in September of the same year Disinfo released it in the United States. It is made up of two discs, the first containing the main 80-minute interview and the second includes interviews with some of his major collaborators like Dave Gibbons, David Lloyd, Melinda Gebbie, as well as Paul Gravett.[1][4]

Music edit

The Original music score was composed by Drew Richards, with additional original work from RZA. The soundtrack also features music by Bill Laswell & Alan Douglas, Lustmord and Spectre.
