Wizard of Speed and Time : 1988


The Wizard of Speed and Time is a 1988 American feature film written, directed by, and starring animator Mike Jittlov. It was preceded by a 1979 short film of the same name, also by Jittlov.

In the film, Hollywood director Lucky Straeker (Steve Brodie) and producer Harvey Bookman (played by the film's producer Richard Kaye), bet over whether Jittlov can actually complete a major effects assignment, and Bookman does everything in his power to thwart him. Kaye's 16-year-old daughter Lauri Kaye became the film's production secretary and performed in the film as a voice-over artist and a hand model. Cameos in the film include science fiction and film industry personalities Forrest J. Ackerman, Angelique Pettyjohn, Ward Kimball, Will Ryan, and a pre-Miami Vice Philip Michael Thomas, as well as composer John Massari. The poster for the film was done by sci-fi genre artist Kelly Freas
