Not So Future News: Author John E. Stith Talks Naught, Science, Writing and TeasersIn this exclusive interview, Naught P.I. Agency's (The Agency) Sarah Chandler (Demeter) talks with John E. Stith, author of All for Naught and creator of the Nick Naught character to be portrayed by actor Ben Browder in the upcoming Naught for Hire web series.
Mr. Stith has written an impressive body of novels and screenplays, and has received many awards and recognitions. His novel, Redshift Rendezvous, was a Nebula Award nominee, and Manhattan Transfer earned a Hugo Awards Honorable Mention. Mr. Stith's complete bio can be found at his website http://www.neverend.com.
Mr. Stith chatted with Sarah to discuss his views on science and technology, the genesis of Nick Naught, collaborating with Jeffrey Berman, adapting Naught for Hire for webisodes, working with Ben Browder, the secrets to a successful writing process... and also shares his secret super power.
Special note: The interview was initiated via Skype, which was coordinated in advance to ensure that all systems were connected to include recording capabilities by the moderator. Alas, a thunderstorm moved into the Rockies and wreaked havoc with Mr. Stith's Internet connection, forcing the interview to go old-school by re-establishing connection via telephone. Oh, the irony. The interview finally got underway without further interruptions, and what ensued was an informative and delightful conversation on a variety of topics we now share with you.
When it comes to Writer/Producer Jeffrey Berman’s latest project he is definitely Naught for Hire.There are two Jeffrey Bermans in Hollywood, a confusion that Naught for Hire’s Executive Producer/Writer accepts with equanimity and his typical slightly-twisted humor. He calls himself the “Not The Kids In The Hall” Berman. This humility belies the fact that our Mr. Berman has written comedy, drama, genre, topical scripts, and screenplays for Imagine Films, Universal Studios, Paramount Pictures, and The Walt Disney Studio, as well as television bio-pictures for NBC and Hallmark.
