The first thing I encountered was the scene with &#8220;Mom&#8221; on the bed. A bed pink with fluids. Her head swaddled in stained sheets. And Bree (<a href=\"http:\/\/uk.imdb.com\/name\/nm3083352\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Alexia Rasmussen<\/strong><\/span><\/a>) sitting by the bed, a revolver in her lap.<\/p>\n<p>Awesome. Crazy to see stuff you helped write come to life. Grim, fluid-stained life.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway. Check out the film. I know I&#8217;m proud of it, and I think Lance did a bang-up job of bringing our storyworld &#8212; or, at least, a glimpse of it &#8212; to life. Make no mistake: he&#8217;s a visionary.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it doesn&#8217;t stop here. We&#8217;ve got the feature film moving toward fruition, and during Sundance will be the Pandemic storyworld experience. What&#8217;s that, you ask?<\/p>\n<p>Well. Just wait. You&#8217;ll see. Expect something pretty crazy-go-nuts.<\/p>\n<p>But it doesn&#8217;t stop there. Sinister plans circulate.
