Geography Project - (3) Frank Beddor - The Looking Glass Wars

Frank Beddor was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota and is a former world champion skier, film producer, actor an author. Beddor is the CEO of the production company Automatic Pictures, and has produced 'There's Something about Mary' and 'Wicked'.
He is the author of the Looking Glass Wars trilogy, and also four spin-off graphic novels about Hatter Madigan.
The Looking Glass Wars is inspired by Lewis Carrol's 'Alice in Wonderland' and the premise is that the two books written by Lewis Carroll were, in the story, a distortion of the 'true events' portrayed in these novels. Alyss Heart, heir to the Wonderland throne, was forced to flee her world because of an invading army. Lost and alone in Victorian London, Alyss is befriended by an aspiring author to whom she tells the violent, heartbreaking story of her young life only to see it published as the nonsensical Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Beddor is currently working on producing a film of his trilogy.
