I was recently commissioned to produce concept drawings for "Love in the Year 2000," a film being directed by Derick Avitt. My job was to help visualize and concretize the script, written by David Miller. Miller described the film as "a visionary science fiction film set in the future. The ambitious production will create a work of bold post-modernity, entirely relevant to the present in which we live."
The project was a lot of fun, and Miller was extremely helpful providing insight into his script. The world had to be real, with elements of the here and now, but also have the strange feel of a distopia. The final illustrations never strayed far from this initial sketch, which can be seen on my blog.
I would like to think I looked like that girl...about 20 years ago. Damn.

If it's set in the future, isn't the title a bit misleading?

Ah, but you don't know the dark workings of the brain of Mr. Miller...I mean, I don't either, but I've learned not to ask.

Rini, Miller and Avitt working together? It's about damn time the geniuses united.

I was going to make a joke that it's called "Love in the Year 2000" because we're running behind schedule, but that's not true. I didn't have the heart to tell David Miller about this typo because he worked so hard on the script. Hopefully, he'll catch it in pre-production.

Or maybe Mr. Miller worships a Different God than the one the "2007" is in reference to. With Mr. Miller it could be anything, really.
I can't believe he hasn't ego-surfed over here yet, by the way. Must be on vacation.

Maybe he's a lurker. You out there, Miller?
