Hal Dace and I have combined forces to bring you a science fiction film! Since Hal was a teenager, he’s dreamed of doing a science fiction adventure film. We got together and wrote the film script and it’s currently in production in Hal’s indie film studio. MISS WISENHEIMER AND THE ALIENS is about man’s golden age in the universe, where energy is plenty, space travel is easy, and although we’ve traveled the far reaches of the universe no one has ever discovered an alien intelligence.
Zipporah Weisenbaum is living the dream of Humanity–freshly graduated from seminary and already managing her own cult. But when her followers break their suicide pact of plunging their starship into a sun, Zipporah is forcibly bootlegged onto the ship of helpful Galactic Ranger, Harold Babbage.

Babbage, a cosmologist, an old fashion fart, and atheist, lives as a hermit with a planet all to himself. The galaxy he oversees is a quiet one where years pass between visitors. An overly chatty evangelical is the last kind of company he’s interested in but every time he tries to be rid of her circumstances keep them together. Babbage is obsessed by the question, “Where are the aliens?” and puts all his spare time, science, and resources into finding them.

Babbage and Zipporah go on a search mission that takes them to impossible places such as the center of universes, and black dwarf stars, all so Zipporah can prove to Babbage that everything was created by God, and so Babbage can prove to himself, Zipporah, and humanity that there’s other intelligent life in the universe.

We’ve got a Short Film

Dace’s company, Epistrophy Pictures, has produced a short film that we’re using to promote interest in the feature length movie. You may be able to see it at your local science fiction convention or film festival. The short film was sent to some film festivals. At Belgium it was nominated for Best Short and Best Animated Short. It didn’t win but we are honored to be nominated.
