- Is the American art form of comics dying? 'Dig Comics' hits the streets to convert everyday people into new fans. Comic creators, retailers, and historians weigh in on what went wrong and whether it's too late to reverse the trend. The battle is on to get America to Dig Comics! 'Dig Comics' is a gateway to understanding comics - not only as a pop culture phenomenon, but as a unique and vastly under-appreciated art form. Just as licensed comic book properties are breaking box office records - think The Dark Knight, Spiderman, X-Men, etc. - the source material struggles to find an audience. Dig Comics will be the bridge that allows moviegoers to become comics fans.

- The film is science fiction because it concerns the use of memory images for time travel. The powerful imagery of the singular event - the horrific event - is etched forever in the mind, yet it becomes fluid and its influences cannot be entirely trusted. What led up to the singular powerful event? What course was set following it? The film uses a mash-up of archival footage, drawings, digital painting, new video and video shot many years ago. It duplicates the way images move through the mind as it circles around an ultimate objective. There are a multitude of connections and meanings to be drawn from the sequence of images. Some meanings might be very obvious, others would be almost impossible to predict.
