    American comic book artist Frank Miller burst onto the scene in the late 1970s and has made an indelible mark on the industry. With titles like “The Dark Knight Returns,” “Sin City,” and “300,” just to name a few, under his belt. Picturehouse is releasing the documentary “Frank Miller: American Genius” which just received its first trailer and set a date for a one-night theatrical showing.

    The film is produced, written, and directed by Miller’s longtime associate Silenn Thomas under the pair’s company Frank Miller Ink. “Frank Miller: American Genius,” will explore his nearly half a century-long career including his work with comics featuring Batman, Daredevil, and Wolverine. Many of these stories went on to define the characters for decades across several mediums.

     “Frank Miller: American Genius” 

    This documentary follows his small-town beginnings in Vermont, to New York City, to Hollywood. Looking at Miller’s failures, successes, self-destruction, and rediscovery. It will feature interviews with his admirers, students, and collaborators across several entertainment platforms. Some of these guests include Neal Adams, Robert Rodriguez, Jessica Alba, Jim Lee, Zack Snyder, and the late Stan Lee. 

    “Long overdue, this film will surprise and delight Frank Miller fans with its intimate and personal portrait, and all audiences will discover the American treasure that is Frank Miller,” said Bob Berney of Picturehouse in a statement. “Silenn has delivered a beautiful theatrical experience and Picturehouse is very proud to make it an event.”

    “The genesis of the documentary came from various sources and fans urging us to document this great American genius who had recently survived a near-death experience,” wrote Thomas in a director’s note. “As we started this process, Miller had just begun his recovery. He had a clear lust for life, a desire to reclaim years of ‘wasted time’ and further his artistic identity. Before the pandemic, Miller had returned to traveling and working on a range of new projects. The further we followed him through this journey, the more we uncovered the craft of comic book making. It was and continues to be a world inspired by women, artists, writers, craftsmen, and a global group of eager and astute fans. This movie is for them; to become a part of, and further explore, the inner workings of their idol and sensei, Frank Miller.”
