Appeared at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival
Musician, performance artist and filmmaker Cory McAbee, of the art-pop ensemble The Billy Nayer Show, presents a "surreal, gritty and nutso" (Hollywood Reporter) midnight-movie-style science-fiction musical western. The irony-drenched tale follows a spaceman-trader (McAbee) in testosterone-rich, women-starved backwaters of the solar system, where he becomes involved in a scheme to exchange a female cloning device for a young man who will become the new King of Venus. "Emphatically perverse ... [with] moments of inspired dementia" - New York Times.
