Storytelling comes in many forms for local man

Since he was a child, Mick Alderman has told stories. He told stories as a young cartoonist, a teenage filmmaker, a college television student, and later, as a writer and director of plays for local community theaters. Alderman continues to tell stories with his Astoria-based production company, 2001 Productions, shooting commercials, documentaries and original feature films. His story began with “Star Wars,” which Alderman called a “transformational experience.” The film’s special effects made Alderman, at the time 13 years old, curious about how movies are made. A cartoonist at the time, Alderman realized he could bring his comic strips to life. His interest deepened when he saw a PBS program about a boy his age who made stop motion animation films, shooting one frame at a time. This prompted him to test his own skills. He’s been a filmmaker ever since.
