"'Gahan Wilson: Born Dead, Still Weird' is comic anarchy on a splendid level. Great imagery. I loved it!” -- Mel Brooks

Steven says, "I'm a fan of documentaries that don't employ a voice over narration that is not organically part of the main character or characters within the movie. This was an opportunity for me to get back to personal, hand made, indie film making -- a big departure from the large movies I've produced in Hollywood."

I met Gahan in 1989, and we became good friends and shared a mutual desire to do something together on film. We currently have a 3D animated script co-written by me and Nicholas Meyer (Star Trek II, IV and VI; The Day After). It was written to be a large-screen 3D IMAX movie based on Gahan's illustrated novel, Eddy Deco's Last Caper, a very exciting project, which we hope the documentary will help promote."
