1) “SF Invictus: Screen Time, the algorithm“ – This is a one-page script sample, because half of my project is screenwriting. I wanted to show that I do know screenwriting conventions and formatting at least. Since I can’t show character development nor plot in a one-page excerpt.
I may also buy a copy of FinalDraft 12 screenwriting software if I win this award.
2) “Kung Flu: Yellow Peril Pushes Back“ please watch the three minutes beginning at: 10:30.

3) “Maria in Austrian Mountains” – This is my second handmade, fine art robot. The first one was “L’uomo Meccanico” (The Mechanical Man) from a 1921 Italian film. I have not painted “L’uomo Meccanico” yet, only done preliminary study sketches, since the art project is scheduled for next summer, July 2024.
I have a list of 12 famous robots that I want to paint by hand with mostly handmade materials for this series. For this painting, I had read that egg tempera had been used since Egyptian pharaoh times. That renaissance icon painters favored it, but it wasn’t produced commercially, due to the perishable nature of raw egg yolks.
I have been making my own watercolor paint and egg tempera from egg yolks, red wine vinegar, honey, gum arabic, vegetable glycerin, lightfast pigments, distilled water, and clove oil and using them to paint on handmade 100% cotton paper. I would also like to make some as sculptures.
This is my response, as a human artist with my hands, to San Francisco’s current obsession with AI and NFTs.
