Affinity Konar
I'm working on a script with my genius friends Ben James and Adam Kaplan. Seven years ago, we discovered that we had a shared obsession in the story of Wojtek, the Polish soldier bear, and we're now building a narrative around that. I always said I'd never revisit the WWII era, but going back with the partnership of my friends has made it bearable, especially as it also incorporates a storyline centered around a punk Polish teenage girl-heroine (my true spiritual home.)
I'm also working on a novel. I feel a bit odd speaking about it, as it's still in its infancy, but it seems determined to share many of Mischling's core themes. As much as I'd like to diversify, I learned long ago that you can't fake caring about something on the page, and it's best to address what is calling your name, however frightening it might be.
