Robot Stories and Mister Green (With Greg Pak)
4/17/2010 E271A
11:15 AM – 1:30 PM
Before Greg Pak wrote Planet Hulk and World War Hulk, he was a filmmaker best-known for his award-winning independent Sci-Fi feature Robot Stories. Today, Pak screens Robot Stories and his brand new Sci-Fi project Mister Green, which io9.com calls “a bizarre, clever short film… horrifying as well as beautiful.” Q&A to follow the screening. A great opportunity for aspiring filmmakers, comic book creators, and Sci-Fi fans alike to discuss process, craft, and genre with a working indie filmmaker and comic book writer.
