What started as a fringe comic book convention for 500 fans has grown into the pop culture event of the year that influences every form of entertainment and attracts a crowd over 140,000 strong. Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan’s Hope explores this cultural phenomenon through the eyes of five attendees as they descend upon the ultimate geek mecca at San Diego Comic-Con 2010. Morgan Spurlock is a documentary filmmaker, humorist, and television producer whose films include Super Size Me, Where In The World Is Osama Bin Laden, and POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold.
The Full Frame Documentary Film Festival is a program of the Center for Documentary Studies.
