Here are some stills from Episode 3 of SuperTwins!

Just a reminder that SuperTwins Episode 3 drops on Tuesday, November 8th! 
Watch it on our YouTube channel:  SUPERTWINSDOTTV


Geoff Lerer plays Rex Alexander.  He recently wrote and directed an independent feature film, Spencer which is making the festival circuit.

He also happens to be married to one of the most talented singer/song writers, Marissa Levy. 

Here is Kai and to the left of him is a drawing done by Nick Abadizis.  He is the amazing comix artist/illustrator who created the famous graphic novel, Laika.  Obviously, the real story of the Russian female dog sent up to space did not have a happy ending.  Everyone tells this to Nick. For my birthday, he drew Laika landing safely and happily back to earth.  One of the best birthday gifts I've ever gotten.

Here is Karin, but to the right and above her/my shoulder is a picture drawn for me by Tim Hamilton.  A Korean woman dressed in traditional a traditional Korean dress (Hanbok) and a unicorn jumping over her head.  Also one of the best birthday gifts ever. 

Ones that I didn't put on the walls (because they were drawn of me and that would've been a wee bit strange) Simon Fraser, George O'Connor, James Smith and Nathan Schreiber.
THESE ARE THE FINEST ILLUSTRATORS AND GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATORS.  I am so so blessed they are my friends.

By tonight, y'all!  I promise!  After I get all my hurricane proofing makeup on.

First and foremost I must thank Dean Haspiel for inviting me to sit at the Baltimore Comicon with him.  If you don't know Dean, he is one of the most prolific and dynamic figures in comics right now.    He is also won an Emmy for his work on the titles for the show Bored To Death.  Not only did Dean bring me to Baltimore but he also gave me a whole slew of wonderful friends (or community) of comix creators.  He has a big heart not just for me but every single person he encounters. 

Arrival in Baltimore
When I first got to Baltimore it felt a little strange.  I grew up in Millersville, a tiny town about 20 minutes from Baltimore and it wasn't exactly a terrific town for a theatre geek who loved to draw. 

I shook the past off and headed to the Sheraton, picked up postcards and crashed in my room.

Dean, Chris, George, Kat, Michel and Reilly were also attending but we all came our separate ways.

After freaking about whether to wear my costume to the convention center, I didn't want to waste any time and headed over to the Baltimore Convention Center.

At The Con
At the table I encountered Reilly Brown from Hypothetical Island.  He was busy drawing commissions for his fans and was generally pretty quiet.



I had a quiet panic attack as I realized I would need to start talking about SuperTwins!  I took my costume and walked to the bathroom and changed into Karin's outfit.




After some time, the crew finally arrived and I felt a lot better about being there.





Thank you to Frank and Linda Ruiz, Robert and Kristal Posada (Chimera Magazine)!

Here is awesome art of Karin by Bruce Dwayne!



Kat Roberts gave me the most awesome necklace in the world AND had her comic:

I LOST MY VIRGINITY TO JIM MORRISON on the table.  She is also an amazing accessories designer who is going to make me BROKE.  See her shop, WHITEHAUS.

The crowd turned out to be friendly and very curious about SuperTwins!  It turned out it was less about promoting my show than it was connecting with people and learning about what brought them to the show in the first place.

**UPDATE - I'm trying to add more photos to this entry and there's an error...It shall be updated.  Please stay tuned.

Chance of Rain: 
Your life may never be the same.

NK:  What excites you about this project?
MG:  well, its the first time I'll be in a full on production with my husband, Philipp Wolter. He's also acting in this and directing. We've done little things here and there but this is the first full on project that we are really getting behind and both acting in. And I love love love collaboration. This is what I love about filmmaking - everything from wardrobe, to the cinematography to set design, to the writer's words, etc.... - its very exciting bringing talented people together and having a hand in all areas. Very satisfying.....and nerve wracking and scary and wonderful! I'm so excited about the people we have on board for this project. And of course being on set is always fun, being a part of telling what I believe is a great story. It just doesnt get any better than this.....
NK:  Who inspires you?
MG:  People who are out there doing good in the world, for those less fortunate. My mother. My mother in law. My girlfriends. My fellow NYC artists (cause I feel like we're all in it together. I have such a respect for the creative souls of NYC. There's a brother/sisterhood that I feel is so prevelant in the indie film world here - I'm just so happy to be part of it. I think its a great time to be in NYC creating your own work. Cate Blanchett certainly inspires me. Annette Benning. My yoga teacher Ruth. Pema Chodron. When someone sings with a soulful beautiful voice. And traveling was probably my first inspiration as a young adult. Seeing the world - I think its important to experience different cultures. To be aware that there is so much more out there than you and your micro environment. 

People always ask me:  "SO, whatcha got going on?"  What usually happens is I get sweaty and self conscious and mumble something about auditioning a lot.  Not anymore!  Now if someone asks me, I'm excited to talk about my new upcoming web series, SUPERTWINS!

A few months ago, Trevor Zhou and I came up with an idea for a webseries:  SUPERTWINS!:  fraternal super hero twins, Karin (pronounced KAH-RIN) and KAI. 

I met Josiah Madigan (two time Emmy winning writer and majorly funny guy) came on board to partner on the writing end and six episodes were written.

Kai and Karin are a super hero Odd Couple:  Karin is a go getter, driven and organized.  Kai doesn't really want to be a super hero and likes to party.

We don't really know EXACTLY what we're doing but we're really enjoying the creating part.  Stay tuned for more details!
