The Vinyl Frontier is a documentary film by Daniel Zana that explores the world of vinyl toys. I remember last SDCC Daniel premiered the trailer for this film (see above), well a year later and he’s done with the movie getting a premiere at the San Diego Comic Con Film Festival. Here is a little of what Daniel had to say about making the film:

I started the film about 4 years ago with the desire to document an incredible art movement that I was just starting to get into myself. As I began collecting these toys, i wanted to know more about the process, the artists, the works inspiring the toys, the collectors, etc. So I set out and contacted as many interviewees as I could find to get a more accurate view about the vinyl toy world. The result is a feature length documentary film (my first) that features over 35 artists, collectors, scholars, and toy makers who shed some light on the fascinating and somewhat new mode of expression.

The film premieres Friday July 23rd at 5:55 pm at SDCC. For those of you that are not there (like me) but live in NYC (like me) There is going to be a screening at the ACE FEST, on Saturday, August 28th at Tribeca Cinemas. Daniel and a number of artists from the movie will be in attendance, so make sure you check it out!
