Unikorn: An Interview With Don Handfield and Joshua Malkin

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with the authors of UNIKORN, a recently released graphic novel that is soon to be a major motion picture.

Don Handfield is the co-creator of History Channel’s drama series Knightfall and produced The Founder, starring Michael Keaton, and Kill The Messenger, starring two-time Academy-Award nominated actor Jeremy Renner. Don also wrote and directed the Saturn Award-winning film Touchback starring Kurt Russell and Christine Lahti. His first comic series The Rift was produced by Steven Spielberg/Amblin Entertainment as an episode for the upcoming Apple reboot of Amazing Stories. His second series, The Mall, was optioned by Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters) for development into a TV show. Don was named one of the top new faces of independent film by Filmmaker Magazine and has written screenplays or produced films for all the major studios.

Joshua Malkin has written feature projects for Sony, Warner Brothers, Cross Creek Entertainment, Universal Pictures as well as for more than a dozen production companies, both big and small. These include: an adaptation of the 80’s cult franchise Beastmaster, a supernatural thriller for Australian company See Films, and a “re-boot” of the franchise Buck Rogers In the 25th Century. He also wrote and produced three documentaries: two about the art of puppetry, and the other about underground comics. In 2008, his screenplay Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever completed production for Lionsgate. He is currently developing an animated family film for Intrigue Entertainment, a horror movie for Traveling Picture Show, and a TV series for showrunner Jonathan Glassner (Outer Limits, Stargate SG-1.) Joshua is a professor of screenwriting at the University of California Riverside, a story architect for the video game industry, and the proud father of twins.

Rafael Loureiro is a Brazilian comic book artist based in São Paulo. He started his professional life as an architect but changed lanes several times into fields like advertising and graphic design until he finally landed on his true passion: drawing comic books for a living. Rafael is the artist of Scout Comics’ best-selling series The Mall.
