“Mind Games,” which is currently shooting in Chicago, stars Christian Slater and Steve as two brothers running “a unique agency committed to solving clients’ problems using the hard science of psychological manipulation,” according to ABC’s website.

Killen, a Chicago native, will be interviewed by the Sun-Times Media Local’s editor-in-chief Robert K. Elder. Killen’s previous work includes “Awake” and Fox’s short-lived “Lone Star.” Jodie Foster also directed his script for “The Beaver” starring Mel Gibson and Foster as a troubled married couple who communicate through a hand puppet.

“Mind Games” is slated for a 2014 premiere.

General admission tickets are $10.
