Yes, this is real. You can buy it here.

Here is a film I am rather excited about. It is written by Neil Gaiman, one of my favorite comic book writers, and directed by Dave McKean. For those who don't know, McKean is arguably the most creative and original artist working in comic books today (although he hasn't done much with comic books lately). You can see examples of his art here. He is a painter, photographer, musician, and now, film director.

I am very interested to see how this film turns out. Neil Gaiman has experience with screenwriting, so I have no doubt the story will be good. I'm very curious to see what McKean is like as a film director. He has directed a couple of short films, but this is his first full-length feature. It's a low-budget film that relies heavily on computer editing and effects, which sounds like it could be either good or bad. I have confidence in McKean's photographic abilities, though, and can't wait to see the result.

I've been wanting to do this for a while, so last night I finally got a netcam set up and called into The Screen Savers with a question. The show is usually live, but yesterday they played an old episode on TV and recorded one that will air on June 11. So be sure to tune in. By then it will be called G4TechTV. My question is on about 45 minutes into the show. I'll post again soon to tell more about the process and show a picture of my netcam setup. And after the episode airs I'll upload a video of my segment. Not only did I get to have my face on TV and get my question answered by Patrick and Kevin, they're also sending me a free t-shirt for calling on a netcam.
