If you’ve ever found yourself lost in the stars, you know what it means to be a ScifiGeek. We’re the dreamers, the storytellers, the artists, and the movie lovers who live for that next grand science fiction saga. You know the feeling, don’t you?

From the moment we could hold a crayon, we were instinctively finger-painting spaceships, sketching astronauts, and mapping out distant homeworlds in our own imaginary galaxies. We’re drawn to the latest sci-fi blockbuster, the newest comic book, or that gripping novel like it’s a sacred text. It’s not just a hobby; it’s who we are. We were simply born to dream sci-fi.

For me, it all began with the original “War of The Worlds.” I was a wide-eyed six-year-old, lining up with my Uncle Ron for the afternoon matinee. Back then, theaters weren’t grand complexes; they were often just storefronts, and moviegoers stood shoulder-to-shoulder on the sidewalk, braving the elements, come winter or summer.

Depending on how big the sci-fi flick was, we’d wait for what felt like forever, buzzing with impatience. Finally, we’d burst into that small theater, a swarm of kids making a mad dash for the front three rows – the premium seats! We’d cling to our popcorn, some of it inevitably spilling down the aisle in our rush. In those magical days, every film started with an entertaining cartoon, never a commercial. And like any true kid, our popcorn boxes quickly transformed into flying saucers, launched into the air, turning the theater into a joyful, chaotic war zone among rival imaginary fleets.

Today, that same vivid imagination is still at work, constantly spinning new sci-fi stories onto the page. From a young age, the cinema has always been where my sci-fi dreams were truly enriched. This deep connection to the big screen is exactly why I’m so passionate about bringing my written stories to life visually.

And let’s be real, I’m not a professional movie producer or an expert in that field. In the beginning of my writing journey, I started by writing screenplays, always hoping that one day my tales would make it to the movie theater.

But after countless years of submitting screenplays, I realized it’s a bit like winning the lottery for an unknown writer to get picked by the cinematic industry. So, it was then I shifted gears and decided to write my manuscripts into published books, which I’ve successfully done.

That being said, today, with the incredible help of AI generation tools like KLINGAI, Dreamina, Pika AI, and Leonardo AI, it’s now genuinely possible to grab attention for my book’s stories on the YouTube screen as compelling movie trailers. This allows science fiction fans, and hopefully even producers and directors, to really see my vision and imagine my books truly coming to life on screen.
