Neil Gaiman, the best selling writer of the DC Comics series "Sandman,"
and the upcoming novel "Anansi Boys" will discuss his latest project,
"MirrorMask," which was made with his longtime collaborator,
award-winning artist David McKean. Teaming up with The Jim Henson
Company, "MirrorMask" tells the story of a fifteen-year-old girl working for
her family circus, who wishes-quite ironically-that she could run away from
the circus and join real life. Gaiman will discuss his role as screenwriter

menagerie of dreamscapes, nightmares and otherworldly creatures that
combine live action with digital animation that was made on a Mac.
"MirrorMask" opens in theaters Friday, September 30th.
