The original story is by Ray Nelson, who was a science fiction fan and artist back in the 1940s. As a cartoonist he popularized the propeller beanie as a symbol for science fiction fans.
It is an excellent movie. For a while it was on YouTube in full with no ads or anything. Watched it there and found it unbelievably compelling.
Another one I found at the same time was Kurt Vonnegut's Harrison Bergenon with Sean Astin, which was equally good but for different reasons. Oddly that one is still available for free on youtube: https://youtu.be/G1LE-E_Yn_Q?si=VpxUSvxMBmjQ-nmi

Did he make Beanie and Cecil?
No, that was Bob Clampett.
Way cool movie.
