Confessions of a Superhero
Confessions follows several people who choose to spend their days dressed up in costume as characters on the sidewalks of Hollywood Boulevard. The film was directed by Matthew Ogens, and it first premiered back at the 2007 South by Southwest Film Festival where our own James Rocchi said the following: "... if you're looking for a solid look at the entry-level jobs in the dirty business of dreams -- where aspiring hopefuls cloak themselves in borrowed fame to eke out a few bucks -- Confessions of a Superhero never loses sight of pop culture or personal struggle, and sticks with you thanks to a careful mix of big images and small moments."
Feel free to watch Confessions of a Superhero by clicking on the box above, or in larger form over on the SnagFilms site. Watch it. Snag it. Spread it. And let us know what you think ...

Great and interesting doc.
I was lucky enough to speak to Jennifer Wenger, who was Wonder Woman in the film.

I saw this on Netflix instant watch a few months ago. Probably one of the most beautiful documentaries I've ever seen. The characters, music, and photography are sad and lovable.
