| Description |
Notorious Bay Area "kino-renegade" Craig Baldwin tops his earlier found-footage operas SPECTRES OF THE SPECTRUM and SONIC OUTLAWS with this highly anticipated new work, a rapid-fire pulp serialcumpolitical take on Californias major industries: the military, entertainment and religion. Hitting upon everything from Satanism to Scientology, the Beats to the jets (propulsion, that is), Baldwin revs up his characteristic stock footage remixes with live-action scenes of his own, adding an over-the-top pulp flair to the proceedings. Arising with demonic force from the detritus of the twentieth century, the film surveys the repurposing of the popular imagination in postwar California, according to Baldwin, tracing the simultaneous rise and convergence of New Age religious cults, the military/aerospace industrial complex and modern-day myths from Disney to certain sci-fi overlords.
