Selina Mandrake - The Slayer
Caught between Post-modernism and the New Age

Abstract
An Anglo-American geeky girl in her high school senior year in 2011 California, ends up finding out that she is none other than The Slayer, a legendary heroine who is destined to slay many notable vampires and demons, culminating in none other than The Master, the vampire with the oldest soul. See how she manages to do so, despite being completely non-violent, and even supportive of the demons she encounters.
A supernatural dramedie, this screenplay has many ties to my other screenplay, Star Trek: “We, the Living Dead”, and was part of the grand Star Trek Deep Space Nine / Buffy the Vampire Slayer / etc. great conspiracy theory thing that I imagined in my “grand mania” that has inspired me ever since. It’s very far-fetched, but on the other hand conveys many serious messages and insights.
Hope you enjoy it!

I’m putting it here on this site in hope it will amuse or inspire people, and also because it may encourage people to watch some episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or of Star Trek: The Next Generation or Star Trek: Deep Space 9, learn about Jewish culture and some Near East history, read Dumas’ The Three Musketeers, etc. etc. all of which I can highly recommended. I’m not charging people any money to download, build, or view the works, but I have some web commercials which I’m making some small money from, and which I hope are acceptable to the copyright holders.

The Muppets (2011) film - I saw this film in the cinema and was impressed by its take on a brutal honesty criticism of various 2010s culture, as seen by the apparently more old fashioned (but still funny as ever) muppets. I eventually decided to adopt a similar approach in writing Selina, both as a criticism of some of our contemporary culture, and more importantly as a way to honestly convey my farfetched imaginary world (induced by a long period of hypomanias and manias) into this screenplay.
