Sandford's Galactic Gladiators role:

Sandford is the main creator and writer for the Galactic Gladiators saga. The screenplay was written first but the story improved as the collaboration grew. Does he really believe that humans have been getting scooped, for the past many thousands of years, by aliens who are looking to build a superior warrior race? He's letting the story speak for itself.

Comics in Sandford's life:

Growing up in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley - famous for fruit orchards, winter skiing and summer water skiing - Sandford devoured every kind of comic. He was a Spiderman and Fantastic Four fanatic, absorbed anything he could find by Frank Miller or Stan Lee & Jack Kirby. Walt Disney was a huge influence in his life. He totally believes in the imagineering concept.

What pop culture things really interest Sandford at this point?

"The tremendous popularity of Matrix, Pokeman, Spawn, Men In Black, or even the WWF, is something that everybody should think about who cares about popular entertainment. You have to wonder about the mindset of the people who make one concept a success and another not. I see some similarities between some of our heroes in Galactic Gladiators and the WWF heroes." he says. Pop culture favorites of Sandford's are Frank Miller, Stan Lee, Stephen King, Spielberg, Scott Lee and Neil Hansen.

Where does he want to go with Galactic Gladiators?

"I think that this whole idea of humans getting scooped by aliens, who then use the humans to create clones and genetic mutants, for their own purposes, is fascinating. And it leads to all kinds of possibilities for related entertainment products, " Sandford says. He can definitely see the possibilities for a movie! He has some major stars in mind but is not saying who. Last word, "You know what they say, shoot for the universe -settle for the galaxy!"
