My guest for this Minicast is Peter Simeti<\/a>, founder and publisher of Alterna Comics<\/a> and author of the graphic novel The Chair<\/em><\/a>, which was recently made into a film starring Bill Oberst Jr., Tim Muskatell, Noah Hathaway, Zach Galligan, Naomi Grossman, Ezra Buzzington, and, in his final feature film role, Mr. Kick Ass and Chew Bubblegum<\/a>, Roddy Piper<\/a>. The Chair<\/em> made its regional debut in a theater just outside of Boston last, and I was able to sit down with Simeti after the screening to talk about adapting the graphic novel for the big screen, and Simeti\u2019s plans for Alterna. Watch the official trailer for The Chair<\/em> below.<\/p>\n
