The American Astronaut
Space is a lonely town
Directed by Cory McAbee
Produced by BNS Productions, Commodore Films
A deliberately absurdist space-western musical that prioritizes surreal spectacle and irreverent humor over narrative coherence or emotional depth.
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.
