"UK Hip Hop Meets Pigs In Spaaace! Keep your ears to the underground, and eyes to the skies"
Taking place aboard a blackhole-converting-starship, and starring a cast of puppets a young Jim Henson would be proud of, the film and soundtrack tell the story of L.J. Skywanderer (Lucy Jones) on her nightmare to the stars and back. With a cameo from comedian Alexander Lynch, the film is best described as UK Hip Hop meets ‘Pigs in Space’.
“The song itself name checks almost every SciFi icon. You name it we referenced it. So with the film we wanted to achieve something worthy of decades of science fiction history and culture. Inspired by SciFi’s often low budgets and the incredible nostalgia those films bring, a B-movie was the perfect choice.” – Invokal
