From retailing to filmmaking: The Manchester, N.H., Hippo profiles Double Midnight Comics owners Chis Proulx and Brett Parker:

"It’s a nice blend of artwork and writing. They’ve got character development, conflicts, the whole thing. A lot of times they are kind of compared to like movies or TV, you know, but they just don’t have the same budget. With comics, you can imagine that you can do it, whereas, with TV or movies, you are kind of limited to whatever technology might be available."

The two have started an independent film-production company called Midnight Productions.
