SCRIPT: Part 1 of 4: Going in blind.

I'd spent decades learning how to write and direct for the camera and now had decided to turn The Revolution of Cassandra into a graphic novel.

I'd never written a graphic novel. Never drawn one. Never made one.

I didn't even really know how many panels were supposed to be on a page.

So naturally, I went for it.

Part 6 of 6.

So, after years of trying to get "The Revolution of Cassandra" made as a movie, I finally took the hint.

The studios loved the script. They just didn't want to make it.

Two Latina female leads. Too expensive. Too much opinion.

So I turned it into a graphic novel. Same story. Just a different way to get it into the world.

This is where Cassandra came from, the things that influenced it, and why I still believe in it. The next series is about the process of converting a screenplay to a graphic novel.

Part 5 of 6.

Enough backstory.

Two sisters. A big pink truck. Black market liquor. Humanitarian aid. A dictator. A gun runner. An exiled revolutionary.

And, unfortunately for Cassandra, one very bad day.

Think Romancing the Stone meets Lara Croft in dreadlocks and Birkenstocks.

Underneath all the adventure is a simple idea:

Be for something, not against everything.

Knowing what you're against is easy.
Know what you're FOR.

Part 4 of 6.
One of the perks of filmmaking is world travel.
You end up seeing things you can't unsee.
While making global documentaries, I have met myriad people who had almost nothing... and somehow were the most generous people I've ever known.
They changed how I wrote The Revolution of Cassandra and how I live today.

Part 3 of 6.
Directing episodic television taught me that I needed to learn how to write.

One of my first screenwriting lessons was brutal: My use of dialogue was a failure as a visual storyteller. First tell with images and all of your dialogue will become better.

Somewhere in those MCTC classes, "The Revolution of Cassandra" was born.

The idea didn't come from some grand moment of inspiration. It started with two young women quizzing each other on fake IDs in the front seat of my pickup.

Sometimes stories sneak up on you.

So many people have asked where The Revolution of Cassandra came from that I realized the only honest answer is to tell the story behind the storyteller.

I never set out to become a filmmaker. At 18, while living on a houseboat, I landed a job as a special effects assistant on Drop Dead Fred. One opportunity led to another. I rigged stunts, blew things up for a living, and even spent time flying Prince in a harness and almost living at Paisley Park, sleeping on my stunt matts.

It was an unlikely beginning.

Over the years I worked on films like Fargo, A Simple Plan, Drop Dead Gorgeous, and the Mighty Ducks trilogy. An education I never planned.

Looking back, I realize I wasn't just learning how to make movies. I was learning how to find my voice.

That's what this series is about. Not filmmaking. Not a graphic novel. Not me.

It's about the long road toward discovering what you believe in deeply enough to create something that matters.

It's easy to be against everything.

The harder, and ultimately more meaningful, challenge is to be for something. SEE YOU AT COMICON 2026 at BOOTH #5533 @bliss_on_tap_comics @comicon

🚨 San Diego Comic-Con 2026! 🚨

I'll be at Bliss on Tap – Booth #5533 with THE REVOLUTION OF CASSANDRA, and I'd love for you to stop by and say hello.
@bliss_on_tap_comics
I'm Eric D. Howell. Most people know me as a filmmaker. I write, direct, produce, and occasionally return to my roots as a stunt coordinator. This week I'm bringing something a little different: an independent graphic novel adapted from one of my award-winning screenplays.

Our website is finally live!
RevolutionOfCassandra.com

THE REVOLUTION OF CASSANDRA is an action romance in the spirit of Romancing the Stone, Jumanji, and The Lost City.

Imagine the dreadlock-and-Birkenstock equivalent of Lara Croft... a modern Don Quixote who refuses to accept the world as it is.

"A story about using your voice for what you believe in, not complaining about what you're against."

Three-issue limited series
Full-color graphic novel
Limited edition covers available

Whether you're a comic fan, filmmaker, storyteller, or just love discovering original worlds, stop by Booth #5533. I'd love to meet you, sign your books, and talk about bringing independent stories to life.

See you at Comic-Con!

This version is NOT my precise imagination of who she is - this looks too much like a fashion model, which is a problem with AI. Working with 3 different fantastic artists generated different looks of our story, all of them more authentic than this. I’m not interested in replacing human artists, but finding a balance with the tools that are not going away is important to understand in a changing world. What are your thoughts on the use of “ethical” AI?

CONSIDER THIS; To FIGHT the patriarchy is still the patriarchy. It wants the fight because that is it’s language. Consider that being “better than the boys/men” is still speaking the language of a system that’s broken. #female #hero #womenincomics #latina #comics @comicbook @finaldraftscreenwriting @comicon_international @sdcomic_con @bliss_on_tap_comics @boldlatina

Cassandra was known in mythology as a woman given the gift of clairvoyance, but the curse that nobody would believe her. The Cassandra in this story is teased and ridiculed for her beliefs - the world simply isn’t ready for her beliefs in love, intentions, and all things astrology. Our cynical world pushes aside those that don’t conform to the system. Cassandra marches on anyway - she knows her beliefs. She knows her voice. This story is about embracing your own voice, even at great cost. #useyourvoice #femalehero #latinacomics #latina #comicon #womenincomics #story #believewomen @thecomixqueen @limitlesslatinapodcast @bliss_on_tap_comics @blake_northcott
