Creating fictions and fictional worlds has always been a critical part of Eames Demetrios' creative output, even before he was thrown out of the Harvard film department for a series of fictional tales centered around a neighborhood in San Francisco. He has made a number of feature length fiction films, most notably The Giving, a black and white 35mm film about homelessness in LA that won a gold medal at the Houston Film Festival. He has also written a book (published in 2001) called Wartime California, which is just one expression of a fictional universe known as Parallel California. Currently, he is developing www.kymaerica.com as an online expression of an expanded fictional world set loosely in America (check it out).
