A little easter egg for you guys who like to pause and find things, during the many, many (many) Post it notes Jeff used in the film, there were even some mentions of everyday things he was doing including helping me put together the Okanagan International Film Festival for that year!
Anyways, I digress... the Yellow Sticky notes I was referring to were these ones posted below;
These were ideas for a supernatural science fiction action flick called "Venus 9", way back in the Kelowna Bean Scene of 2006. Swiftly after completing the first draft of this I realized this was not "first film" material, with its special effects and pyrotechnics and potential budget of millions... was damn fun to write though... so I attempted to adapt this for radio in the style of Old Time Radio serials...
The Year is 2097, mankind has successfully managed to terra-form its neighboring planets, Mars and Venus. Although with inter-stellar travel still in the realm of science fiction, and no sign of life on mankind's newest settlements they have settled into the mediocre reality of entertainment, politics and infighting.
That is until an ordinary day on Venus 9 for office worker Lewis Steele, gets turned on its head as he unravels mans first contact with intelligent life.
Its the same old story....
Boy meets Girl,
Girl blows up world,
Boy gets girl back again...
Okay, maybe this one's a little different..
Here's the original pilot episode... who knows... maybe the start of an epic...
