Saving Superman is a contender for the Academy Awards Best Documentary Short finalist list. If you're an Academy voter, please check out this remarkable, heart-warming little film!

I was chatting with Sam and his co-director Adam about this clip today -- and how it made us all cry.

I am thrilled to the marrow my bones for them that Brendan Fraser has joined Saving Superman as Executive Producer.

If you haven't seen it yet, it's a 10 minute documentary short that's worth watching! It's free on YouTube and the watch link is up the thread.
