Samual Curtis's first mission in this bizarre science fiction musical comedy requires him to take a cat to a saloon on an asteroid. There, he meets his former dance partner (the Blueberry Pirate) and collects his payment: a device capable of producing a Real Live Girl. Including music by alternative rock group The Billy Nayer Show, this film began life as a live show with a loyal following.

VIBE

A bizarre, lo-fi sci-fi musical that feels like a fever dream. It's a surreal journey through space with an absurdist sense of humor, featuring catchy tunes and a unique, DIY aesthetic. Perfect for those who enjoy the wonderfully weird.
