Anthony Desiato, owner and founder of Flat Squirrel Productions, is a lifelong Superman fan, documentary filmmaker, and podcast host.
While attending law school, Anthony fulfilled a long-held ambition by turning the camera on Alternate Realities, the New York comic book shop where he worked for more than a decade.
The result, My Comic Shop DocumentARy, screened at film festivals across the country and garnered press in multiple media outlets, including The New York Times. Anthony followed up his debut with the award-winning short By Spoon! The Jay Meisel Story and the feature-length Wacky Man: The Rise of a Puppeteer. He recently completed his fourth documentary film, My Comic Shop Country, exploring the business, fandom, and community of comic book stores across America.
As a podcaster, Anthony hosts My Comic Shop History (available on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, and Podomatic), as well as its Patreon-exclusive sub-series (My Comic Shop Book Club, My Super Fan History, Beyond My Comic Shop, and the My Comic Shop History After Show).
