A world divided. A love tested. A future imagined.

The Ecotopia Universe began with the feature film “Anna & Modern-Day Slavery“, a powerful story that laid the foundation for a much larger vision. After completing the film, I found myself creatively burned out and without the resources to continue Anna’s journey on screen. But her story still had more to say—so I turned to short fiction. Thus, the Ecotopia Short Stories were born, shaped by my growing frustration with political inaction in the face of environmental collapse.

Long before Ecotopia took shape, I created two characters, Maggie and Patrick—who lived in my imagination for years. I loved them deeply, but their story never quite fit—until I placed them in a future where the world they once knew had vanished. That shift unlocked everything. Their impossible love story became the emotional core of 2 People: In the Old World.

The World of Ecotopia

In this universe, two worlds exist in stark contrast:

• The New World—a hopeful, sustainable society where people live in harmony with nature and each other. This is Ecotopia, a vision of what humanity could become.
• The Old World—a crumbling, authoritarian regime ruled by a Corporate Government that has exhausted 90% of its non-renewable resources. It’s a place of repression, scarcity, and fear.

Caught between these worlds are Maggie and Patrick.

2 People: In the Old World

Maggie is a revolutionary leader in Ecotopia. Patrick is a high-ranking officer in the Old World’s military. Once lovers, now enemies by circumstance, they are forced to reunite when Maggie’s children go missing behind the wall that separates the two worlds.

To save them, Maggie must return to the place she escaped and trust the one person she never thought she’d see again.

Their journey is one of love, betrayal, and the fight for a better future.

Ecotopia Short Stories

“For most of my adult life, I honestly thought that life was supposed to be confusing, unfocused and full of unfulfilled dreams. But I was wrong, so very wrong.”

These stories are for anyone who’s ever questioned the world we live in and dared to imagine something better. They explore resistance, resilience, and the quiet power of hope in the face of collapse.
