Q & A w/Jason Brock and William Nolan
Forrest J Ackerman could quite possibly be the greatest fanboy who ever lived. Fasci- nated by the realms of science fiction and fantasy from his childhood, he merged his lifelong passion with his literary talents (he actually came up with the term “sci-fi”) to promote and immortalize both the classics of the genres and the up-and-comers and the wish-they-weres through his Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine from the late 1950s through the early 1980s. Along the way, he collected vast amounts of science fiction and fantasy memorabilia, ephemera, and props, which he displayed in his home (a.k.a. “The Ackermansion”). Serving as mentor and inspiration to legions of fans of science fiction and fantasy literature and films, he allowed anyone to come tour his collection unescorted and would regale all comers with tales of his life among the creators of some of the most classic imagery ever to come out of Hollywood. This affec- tionate biographical documentary by Jason Brock includes some of the last interviews with Ackerman, who died in 2008, along with tributes from Ray Bradbury, Ray Harryhau- sen, John Landis, and more.
