In October, like many of you, I attended New York Comic Con 2010, the 2nd largest comic book convention after San Diego Comic Con. But instead of going as a fan or a games journalist, I was there primarily as a documentary filmmaker, creating a film called Comic Relief, a documentary short that gives an insider's look at the eclectic culture and community surrounding comic books.

Although this community is often hilarious, Comic Relief intends to show that comic book culture is also serious business and has impacted the lives of individuals involved within this fascinating subculture.

Comic Relief is filmed entirely on location at New York Comic Con by Sarah Lawrence College students and features the talent of Video Game Journalist and Writer/Filmmaker Daniel Horowitz (that guy being myself), Writer Adam Singer and Theater and Film Technician/Director Chris Johnson.

Cast/Crew Credits are as follows:

Director- Daniel Horowitz

Director of Photography and Camera Operation- Chris Johnson

Producer- Daniel Horowitz

Interviewers- Adam Singer, Daniel Horowitz

Writing- Daniel Horowitz

Editing- Travis Kaupp and Daniel Horowitz

With E3 coming up, which admittedly is a much larger convention, this short documentary should give you all a taste of the convention assignment.
