Being Zine: Mini Magazines and A Life Like This (2023) is a heartfelt documentary celebrating the enduring power of zines — small, self-published magazines that have long served as a platform for personal expression, creativity, and independent voices. Through the story of artist and zinester Darren Scannell, the film explores how handmade publications can preserve memories, build communities, and offer a deeply personal way of documenting everyday life.
Blending archival materials, artwork, and reflections on decades of zine culture, the documentary highlights the importance of DIY publishing in an increasingly digital world. Whether you’re an artist, writer, or simply curious about independent creative movements, Being Zine offers an inspiring look at how small publications can leave a lasting impact.
