Sir Arthur C. Clarke's Maelstrom II: Now a Living Memorial

Dear Maelstrom II Cast, Crew, Consultants and Friends,

you have most probably heard by now the passing of Sir Arthur C. Clarke.

I am very sad that I did not get the opportunity to meet him in person and show him the completed version of Maelstrom II.

It was an honor to be introduced to Sir Arthur by my friend Jay Trimble, from NASA Ames, back in the year 2001.

It was a privilege to have corresponded with Sir Arthur, and to be working on a digital short adaptation of one of his short stories.

Maelstrom II is now a living memorial for Sir Arthur. I am determined to complete it with the original intention galvanized:

to inspire people about this amazing Universe we inhabit.
