And yes, although I told you not to do it, it’s about growing up.Ĭo-writing Dealers was a very personal exercise (and exorcism of sorts!) for me. It’s about doing your best to remain true to your childhood whilst living as an adult.

So Dealers is about dreams that become your business. For perfect condition.īut life is not perfect. The eternal question and quest for immortality. People notice that kind of stuff, even on the smallest of levels. Make an effort, even if all you’re doing is making sure a C-9 condition 12-Back Darth Vader is carefully placed into a star case for display. It’s important to do what you say you are going to do. Even if your business, as in Dealers, is selling action figures. Yes, grown men who will stop at nothing to make a buck off of a child’s toy.īut it’s also about handling your business like an adult. Which brings us to Dealers, a story about collections: About trading, selling, working angles and systems for profit and gain.

They are often catalogued, filed and brought out for examination in those awful private moments. It actually takes effort to keep the child who dreams inside of you alive.Īnd when you don’t honor your dreams by giving them a fighting chance, you build up a collection of regrets. Like in Invasion of the Body Snatchers or by watching the finale of Lost - it’s easy to let it happen. And if we try to - you know, really become an “adult” - we allow a dark, empty force to enter us.
