PREGNANT ON MARS - TALKING REPRESENTATION IN SCI-FI WITH FILMMAKER DANI MILTON

Geek Girls Poetry Project

Indie filmmaker Dani Milton sits down with us to talk about "The First Martian," a sci-fi short that centers a Black doctor in her late 40s who becomes unexpectedly pregnant in the first years of a budding Mars colony, and in the process challenges the audience's beliefs about choice and bodily autonomy. We talk about the virtues of crowdfunding campaigns, what makes a good antagonist, and why you shouldn't take a French onion soup recipe from a robot.
