He made _Piranha II: The Spawning_ for Roger Corman before he sold the script of _The Terminator_ to his future (now ex-) wife Gale Ann Hurd for $1 on the grounds that he could direct. He also made a short called _Xenogenesis_, presumably while a student. I looked up _The Magic Box_ and it doesn't appear to be out on video, but ti's easier to say for certain that something is (or at least was), than isn't. Scott Datis Alaee wrote: > Hi everyone.
