After attending a local comic book convention, three filmmakers are so moved by the stories shared with them by cosplayers that they decide to investigate geek culture even further. Attending other conventions across the country and speaking with legendary creators such as Kevin Eastman, Stan Lee and George R.R. Martin, the trio not only begins to find answers to why people gravitate towards superheroes and stories about superheroes, but how being a geek could help them live deeper, richer lives. Geek, and You Shall Find tells the stories behind the creation of several popular stories including Superman, Star Wars, Game of Thrones and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In sharing how these characters and their worlds came to be, creators reveal how often they have been inspired by real-life social ills. Most importantly, by continuing to speak with fans who have been inspired by these creations, this film reveals how superheroes have the potential to combat these social issues as well.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The documentary constructs its narrative through intimate conversations with fans and iconic creators, exploring the social fabric of geek culture. It relies on heartfelt testimonies and archival footage to examine how fictional worlds shape personal identity and community bonds.

What lingers after the credits is a profound sense of connection and the realization that these stories are modern mythology. The film reveals how fantasy serves as a lens to understand our own realities and aspirations. — MovieFinder Editorial
