Into Dusk screening
Hey, all. Live in the Minneapolis - St. Paul area? Want to see a short film I co-wrote? INTO DUSK is getting screened at the IFP Cinema Lounge on September 17th (address in the link). It's free, it's a sci-fi piece running about eight minutes in all, and I'd love to see you there. Everyone else outside the drive-able distance, well, it's up to the director when the piece will get to roam free on the web, but as soon as it is, I'll be sure to link to it from here! See you there!

Director Jason Ho and I started working on this early last year. We met over Craigslist when I saw an ad under Writing Gigs that simply said "Cyberpunk." He was seeking someone with experience in that particular sub-genre of science fiction to help with a short film. I thought, hey, I just had a cyberpunk novel published, why not reach out? (This being a particularly difficult thing for me, an introvert of the highest order.) He came over a few times (daring the Minnesota ice and snow to make it out here to Stillwater) and we worked on drafts. I'd never collaborated with anybody before, so this was a new experience for me. Throwing ideas back and forth, compiling drafts and cutting them down, building them back up, taking away what didn't work, keeping what did. One of my favorite writing memories. Writing is such a closed-door experience usually; you lock yourself away, dream, and in a few months (or years) you come away with something. But having someone there, sharing the process and riffing and exchanging ideas (and arguing sometimes), but it feels so different. One, it was a film something I'd only done ghostwriting work on before, but knowing it was something that'd share my name with him, it made it really unique and wonderful.
I live for speculative fiction. You know that. And this was a lot of fun. I can't wait for you to see it. If you can make it out, please do. If you see some weird tattooed bearded guy in the back fidgeting in his seat trying his best not to make accidental eye contact, come over and say hello. I'll be awkward, definitely, but give me a second. I'm willing to break out of my little shell for this.
Into Dusk, also, is the first taste of what we're hoping will be a feature length film. So here's hoping this won't be my only foray into screenwriting.
