July 20th 1969 – Neil Armstrong is about to be the first man on the moon. Or is he? Chaos reigns as the rumours and conspiracy theories surrounding the historic Apollo 11 moon landing are brought to life. With a combination of realism and comedy, geopolitics is reduced to a good old fashioned punch-up as the live broadcast unfolds on a film set. Stanley Kubrick watches on as his leading men go violently off-script. To seamlessly blur reality and fiction we shot on 35mm and 16mm film, built a life-size lunar module and mission control set and then combined this with original stock footage.
