Mark Miller to appear as Special Guest at StokerCon 2016!!!
Our good friend of the Podcast Mark Miller and Vice President of Seraphim, has been chosen as the next presentation special guest at 2016’s StokerCon which is held in Atlanta, Ga. I’ve enjoyed a lot of Miller’s writing especially the work he and Clive Barker both did for The Next Testament. I was disappointed that it didn’t win a Rondo Award for best comic of 2014. I thought it should’ve won over The Walking Dead that’s for sure!
Here’s the actual press release that was shared by Rena Mason who works at Horror Writers Association:
A discussion of the history of the film–book to movie–and its subsequent butchering by the studio and re-release as its intended vision 25 years later. Miller will share inside information on what it took to make this happen and how those experiences relate to the practices of adaptation and screenwriting.As the Vice President of Seraphim, Mark Alan Miller writes, produces, and directs original content alongside master of horror Clive Barker.
Mark has been working as a writer since 2005 when he started as a columnist for OCWeekly. It was this that landed him the position of assistant editor on Barker’s novel Abarat: Absolute Midnight, for which he also directed the promotional trailer
Since 2009, Miller has been shepherding the release of the director’s cut of Barker’s classic film Nightbreed. After 6 years of Miller’s campaigning, tracking down the footage, and assembling the film, Barker’s long-thought-lost vision was finally released on Blu-Ray last year by Scream Factory. The project has garnered worldwide interest, and been featured in publications such as Fangoria, Rue Morgue, and Empire magazine, and was recently named Total Film’s 14th best extended cut of all time.
Mark’s work as a producer is not limited to horror, however, and in early 2014 he produced a series of animated shorts with the comedy troupe Superego for Nerdist Channel.
Most recently, he served as editor for Barker’s long-awaited The Scarlet Gospels, which was released in May of 2015, and took home the Saturn Award for best vintage Blu-Ray release for his work on Nightbreed: the Director’s Cut. His writing can be seen in the bestselling Boom! Studios comic books, Hellraiser, Hellraiser: Bestiary, and the critically acclaimed Next Testament.
