Chicago – Director Rujanee Mahakanjana has created some atypical and artistic statements in her film career. Her studio Nebula Creatives represents that work, which includes the short films “Random Seating” and “Out of Sight,” and feature films “Man and His Erections” and “Parallel Universe.” She is taking a different route to her next film, “Lab 99,” with a creative process that utilizes the comic book format.
The beginnings of the screenplay for “Lab 99” began in 2010, and nearly made it to a production. When that didn’t come to fruition, Mahakanjana – through an idea from “Lab 99” producer Christian Stanfield – moved the screenplay to a comic book format. This allowed the narrative, about outer space aliens and their counterparts on earth, to expand into a visual medium. As Mahakanjana explains below, that gave her and the creative team room to further develop the story, and brought it to another level.
