JD: Both Kevin and I have been fans of Mignola’s work for a very long time. It’s a very organic process, and I would say that from that first interview to where we are now is leagues apart from what we thought the story was going to be.ĪIPT: What was your relationship like with Mignola’s work before diving into this project? After that first interview, we started looking at what his story was as a whole, and that has informed how we’re asking questions to others, seeing what gaps we need filled, and where the story is taking us. As he answered them, it was interesting to find anecdotes that he provided us that lead us down different paths of asking questions we never would have. When we did our first big interview with Mike, we were there for hours and had prepared a lot of questions. Jim Demonakos: You’re very right, in that the narrative has definitely changed. How has the Mike Mignola: Drawing Monsters project evolved from start to finish? Something fascinating about documentary filmmaking is how the narrative changes as you film, or in some cases the film is there and the narrative is found by the creators. With the Kickstarter launched, I had the opportunity to ask Demonakos and Hanna a few questions about the likely soon-to-be-backed project.ĪIPT: Jim Demonakos, thank you for taking the time to answer a few questions.
