Phoenix Jones and members of the Rain City Super Hero Movement patrol the streets of Seattle and have generated nationwide attention. Seattle Filmmaker Matt Harrison has been following the adventures of the headline making crimefighters for his documentary Citizen Heroes. Phoenix may be in the spotlight but Harrison learned the Real Life Superhero Movement has been in action for years in the Pacific Northwest.

 

  What inspires someone to dress up to fight crime? Members of the local movement aren’t billionaires with childhood trauma or affected by radiation. Harrison reveals what he’s learned about the local people behind the masks.

  Citizen Heroes and The Collectibles web series are co-presenting the Avengers Assemble film series this week at SIFF Cinema. Harrison and costumed heroes of the movement are introducing Marvel movies. Those cinematic heroes are joining forces on the big screen in The Avengers. I asked Harrison about the next steps on his journey to bring Seattle’s heroes to the movies.

  The Seattle Super Hero Movement is popping up in a real comic book this week. By happenstance or circumstance?  In this week’s X-Factor # 235 Seattle super heroes are under attack. The mutant detectives of X-Factor Investigations are on the case in Seattle. I asked Harrison his reaction to this week’s Seattle centric storyline.

 

  Since Citizen Heroes is co-presenting the Avengers Assemble film series I has to asked the director to pick his favorite Avengers and reveal his expectations for the big movie.

 

  Director Matt Harrison, Knight Owl and Sky Man are scheduled to present more Avengers solo movies this week at SIFF Cinema. To learn more about Harrison’s project here’s the Citizen Heroes link.
