Dream Up Festival 2010

Auto Graphic Novel Title Image

– World Premiere

Written and Directed by Johnny Klein

An autobiographical collage of the major events in my life that led me to become a writer. Or, "a William S. Burroughs Pop-Up Book for Kids."  It combines the interior world of narrative prose with a visceral theater of Images that mimics the dream-like experience of personal memoir.
