“I’ve been a fan of science fiction as long as I can remember. My mom got me hooked on speculative fiction at a young age and I’ve never looked back…Octavia Butler shifted the paradigm for me. Today, my friend and collaborator Dr. Damian Duffy won The Hugo Award for the adaptation we did of one of Butler’s most beloved and prescient works: THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER. It’s an honor that I am incredibly moved by and I hope that we truly have added to her legacy. Feeling very grateful.”
