Father Electrico: Ray Bradbury Lives Forever!

FATHER ELECTRICO: RAY BRADBURY LIVES FOREVER! is a documentary film based on the creation of a sculpture which was a collaboration between author Ray Bradbury and sculptor Christopher Slatoff. The frontal view of the finished sculpture depicts a father carrying his son. Turn the sculpture around and the image of the father is in reality Bradbury's 'Illustrated Man,' a character taken from his classic story collection about a tattooed man.

Director Biography - John Sasser

John Sasser began his career in filmmaking in 2005, working on a project with Mr Sci-Fi himself, Forrest J Ackerman. Thru Ackerman he met and befriended Ray Bradbury, who would call him into service crafting a short documentary film about the creation of a statue with renowned sculptor Christopher Slatoff.

During the long-term creation process of these two films, he worked as producer on a short Stephen King film and as a director-for-hire on yet another short film, THE APP.

He has several other projects written or in development for future films and series.
