Stage and screen crossover star Alan Rickman - most recently seen on Broadway in Theresa Rebeck's SEMINAR - headlines a new short film titled DUST and the poster, behind-the-scenes promo video and still images from the controversial indie project have now been released.

The official synopsis for DUST is as follows: "TODD, a 60-something loner with a twitch, follows young JESSICA (7) and her MUM home from school. He waits until nightfall before breaking into their house and creeps into Jessica's room. Lifting the helpless, sleeping child off her pillow, he locates... a tooth! In a fit of compulsion, Todd crushes the tooth and snorts it from Jessica's bedside table. Wings burst out of his back and he leaps from her window, freed for another short while... until his tooth fairy addiction hits again. The next day after school, Jessica heads towards an ice cream van, a gleaming new coin in hand..."

Alan Rickman: This Sunday’s Podcast – An Educational Conversation with Alan Rickman Post Date: 9 March 2013 (STAR TALK)

Alan volunteered an interesting, science-fictional approach to customize teaching to the unique needs of individuals (with a bit of science magic thrown in, too) which, after all, shouldn’t be surprising coming from an actor who has played a Professor of Potions at Hogwarts in the Harry Potter series, a pioneering heart surgeon in Something the Lord Made and a Shakespearean actor playing a Science Officer on Galaxy Quest’s starship, the NSEA Protector.

Just a note for anyone who already watched some of this interview on The Nerdist Channel: there’s more content in Part 1 and Part 2 than made it into the video, so I recommend you check the podcast out, too. (Stay tuned for Part 2 on March 24th.)

Part 1 of the interview will be available on our website and iTunes tomorrow night, Sunday, March 10th, at 7:00pm ET.

That’s it for now. Keep Looking Up!
