1980 - 1981, The early teen years
Short story turned short movie
My very first shortstory was a science fiction parodie. The plot simply centered around an alien lifeform that scoured the universe in search of entertainment, not just any form of entertainment, but one of a bloodthirsty, all engrossing nature. These aliens were in search of civilizations which were on the brink of civilatory annihilation. On a small class M style planet, the third of a rather small yellow dwarf star in the outer reaches of a sBC-typed spiral galaxy, they finally uncovered one such civilization. On the brink of nuclear oblivion, the planets final hours are commented by an alien commentator in much the same manner a sportscaster would cover a soccer match. To make a shortstory short, a fellow student decided to create a movie based on the story and casting a teacher as the commentator.

Movie Producer & Director
Today, I am wearing several different hats: producer, director, editor, composer, song writer, singer. Well, not quite. I am increasingly relying on machine intelligence to take over parts of these roles and relegating myself more than ever to concentrate on the creative aspects of movie making.
Recently, MobileTimesToday has decided to turn the first six volumes of
Tales from the Alternate Universe into a feature-length movie, entitled - quelle surprise -
Tales from the Alternate Universe - the Movie. As already hinted, the vast majority of the movie will be machine generated, utilizing tools such AI, gAI, and egAI. Besides having machines create the visual aspects of the movie, they will also play a pivotal role for generating the musical score. For example, a subplot developed for the movie script is based on the short story
Duds on Mars from the first volume of
Tales from the Alternate Universe, which requires the three main protagonists Mr. Mark and Mr. Donald to fly onboard Mr. Elon's starship
Busted to Mars. The envisioned subplot will consist of a scene showing Mr. Mark, Mr. Donald, and Mr. Elon sitting around a round-table, dressed in old wikingstyle spacesuits and celebrating their apparent victory of escaping Earth's tyranny brought upon by Little Joe
I Biden my time and his ogre Grendel organization- the IRS, by guzzling large volumes of traditional wiking mead in oversized cornucopias (see
AI sing my song for the actual musical score). Unbeknownst to the three heroic villains/villainous heroes the starship
Busted operation is in reality an elaborate sting, a Spanish fly trap brought on by Grendel to entrap the three on an artificial satellite located at a Lagrange point in space. Grendel's entrapment satellite is a small replica of Mars, and once the three villainous heroes have landed with their loot - all the proceeds of their worldly workings which they managed to hide from Grendel's fangs - would be collected by the very same and the three remain incarcerated on the entrapment satellite for all eternity. Finally, Grendel's grabbed treasures would be used to pay off - of course only in small part - Little Joe
I Biden my time's entrapment satellite leaving an even larger than ever imagined fiscal hole. But hey - afterall, it's only money, or is it...?
