Broken Frontier

The new Michael Golden documentary from Creator Chronicles will be making its Spanish debut this week in Aviles, as the  festival opens with a special unveiling of the comprehensive work for Spanish fans.

Focusing on one of the most influential comic artists of the last few decades, the new film on comics creator Michael Golden features an in-depth interview with the co-creator of Rogue, Bucky  O'Hare and Spartan X, and gives fans a candid and refreshing look at the man behind the stories. Produced via Woodcrest Productions and Eva Ink, the disc features 312 minutes of footage, including outtakes, a how-to drawing session,  as well Golden's M-Gallery opening in Manhattan, and much more. The interview section will be screened in its entirety in Aviles.
