It's been nearly 8 years since I originally heard Conversations With & About My Electric Toothbrush here on Escape Pod.
Back then, I was being considered for a job that I ultimately didn't get because the powers that be couldn't see me as capable of anything else beyond the career path that I was currently on. It was frustrating. I wanted to do more. Be more! Derek’s story resonated with me for that reason. I'm not a notable writer, but I AM a filmmaker, and even then I knew I wanted to attempt to visualize this story.
So here we are. With Derek's blessing, Conversations With My Electric Toothbrush has completed photography and begun the post production process. I'm probably writing about this a bit too early but I can’t help but share my excitement for something that was introduced to me right here at Escape Pod. There’s still lots of work to do, but we're hoping we can do Derek's story the justice it deserves.
The film stars Casey Graf, Michael Swaim, Heidi Heaslet and Daminh Tran.
Much love to you, Escapodians!
Sincerely,
Douglas Nabors
