Mike J. McAllister is a Pennsylvania-born award-winning filmmaker and animator behind the films "Mercer County, You're On The Air," "I Know We'll Meet Again..." and "Fish." He is also a contributor to the Austin-based website OneOfUs.Net. He resides in Austin Texas.
The inspiration behind this film is very personal, as it comes from some dark periods of my life and an escape fantasy I've pondered before. It's also a comment on how difficult it has become to manage in the world for people my age, with a greedy unforgiving economy.
