FutureSand
Shot in June of 2009, FutureSand is one of those movies I never thought I would write/direct. Ever. My producer/partner-in-crime and I sat in my office arguing about potential ideas we could come up with. Neither of us liked what we were brainstorming. I looked up at my menagerie of pop culture stuff above my desk and spotted the Tusken Raider action figure from Star Wars. Suddenly, I had it. Using Michael Biehn’s voice from The Terminator, I said: “The year is 2072, the world is covered in sand…” The rest is history!
We finished in the top 15 of 90-something teams. Not too shabby! We even won an award, Best Costume Design. We were nominated for 7 other awards as well.
