M-THEORY to screen at Can-Con SF show in Ottawa

Writer/producer Lloyd Deane is in Inisfil, Ontario on July 30 for the Wreck-Beach Film Festival (http://www.domecountry.com/pages/selections2010.html) to screen his short science fiction film M-THEORY.

Later, in August, Lloyd will again show M-THEORY at Ottawa's Can-Con science fiction convention. I'll be in attendance to answer questions about my role as Mrs. Dillworth.
