Director’s Notes
I was a rather strange child. I had x-ray vision and believed in Santa until the 7th grade.
Mine was a world of fantasy and magic and high adventure. So it should be no surprise
that my adult world view keeps one eye on this mad planet while the other watches out for
something else. It’s popular these days to debunk the mystery out of life. I choose instead
to believe in the ghosts, aliens, magic and Bigfeet that lurk just beyond what we can see.
These are talented actors, gifted creators and technicians bringing to life the words of
some truly amazing wiriters. Open your mind and get set for provocative, twisted and
wonderfully bent reality. There’s no pause button, so hold on tight!
