About The Movie

Imagine American Splendor creating a bastard child with My Architect that was then raised by Forrest Gump and you have Dibujantes [Draftsmen], the documentary film I am producing about my dad.

My name is Seth Estrada, and I am telling the story of a man who has inspired thousands through his gift of visual storytelling, and open-door/open-heart policy of sharing his vast and incredible life-experience.

We've interviewed President of DC Comics, Paul Levitz; comics writer extraordinaire, Roy Thomas; award-winning creator of Groo the Wanderer, Sergio Aragonés; award-winning comics writer/historian Mark Evanier; comics legend Joe Kubert, and more!

Now we are asking for your help in the following ways:

1. PLEDGE!
We've been approved by kickstarter.com to begin a fundraising campaign for our current production goal: film the suburb of Havana where Ric grew up, before Fidel's brother, Raul Castro, permits major change to take place in Cuba. A $1 pledge will help, $1,000 will help even more. Every successful donation will be met with some level of reward from us once the campaign is complete:

Credit at end of film
Producer's Credit on iMDb
Digital copy of the Limited edition Havana: Yesterday, Today, & Tomorrow micro-documentary
Digital copy of the finished film in standard definition
Limited edition Ric Estrada Movie t-shirts, featuring previously unreleased original artwork by Ric Estrada [first 20 contributors only]
Digital copy of the finished film in High Definition.
A signed physical copy of the film on High Definition Blu-ray, including special 3-D footage shot throughout Cuba!
A small vial of Cuban sand, from one of the four beaches of Havana, the most beautiful beaches of the Caribbean :

1. Playa El Megano
2. Playa Santa Maria Del Mar
3. Playa Boca Ciega
4. Playa Guanabo

And a few more, VERY special items to be listed on kickstarter.com once the race is on :)
