Welcome back to Nothing Shines Like Dirt Empowering Actors to Create episode 18. Today we talk to Sci-Fi director and filmmaker Cidney Hue. We talk about why you should know Octavia Butler, the human side of sci-fi, and the ingredients for movie making are money and people.
Cidney Hue is a writer and director focused on art and science driven sci-fi films. Her award-winning short, Odessa, recounts the journey of an astronaut’s last night on Earth. Her webseries for Wired & reddit, Cyborg Nation, profiles scientists at the forefront of prosthetics, robotics, and brain-computer interfaces.
