What began as Genre Wars, a local short film contest, became a young-adult fantasy novel, written by Robin C. Farrell
The Oniyum has vanished. War has come to the planet Kabathan; Mechs, Fantasarians, Vikings, Nenjin, Wranglers, Vampians, Mobsters, all trying to annihilate each other.
Reman, a fast-advancing pilot for the Mech Republic, is assigned an unusually important solo mission. Alone, deep in wild Fantasarian territory, he is ambushed and taken captive, surrounded by his culture’s oldest enemies; Elves, Wizards and the acrid stench of Magic. He prepares to sacrifice himself in the name of war, but, instead, finds himself confronted with a question that will challenge everything he has ever known.
I joined the Genre Wars project in the contest phase and participated alongside my team. All these years later, I look back on it as one of my earliest experiences producing, screenwriting, and co-directing. I adapted the scripts, which I co-wrote, into the YA novel.
