You are on a tri-city tour doing screenings of Surge of Power: Where There’s Smoke. How’s that going so far? Vincent J. Roth: Amazing. We had our world premiere at Tarzana International Film Festival in August, which happened to be 20 years to the weekend of the world premiere of the very first Surge of Power film.

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since the first Surge of Power film! I still remember catching The Stuff of Heroes at a tiny indie theater back in the day—it was such a refreshing take on superheroes. It’s inspiring to see Vincent J. Roth staying true to his vision all these years while expanding the universe. The tribute to Nichelle Nichols in Where There’s Smoke sounds so heartfelt. Representation matters, and I love that this franchise continues to honor that while keeping the focus on fun superhero adventures.

Vincent J. Roth’s 20-year journey is incredibly motivating. It shows what’s possible when you’re passionate and willing to put in the work. I’m also fascinated by the way he collaborates with other indie creators like Eric Moran. The idea of building an interconnected “hero-verse” with indie characters is so clever. It’s proof that you don’t need a Marvel-sized budget to make something meaningful.

I just got into superhero movies because of Marvel and DC, but this looks super interesting! I’ve never heard of Surge of Power before, but the fact that it has LGBTQ+ representation and cool crossovers like The Smoke makes me want to check it out. Plus, it’s awesome that the effects keep getting better. Hopefully, it’ll be available to stream soon since I probably can’t make it to any festivals.
