Abstract: George Kuchar was one of the most prolific American independent film and videomakers. With his homemade Super 8 and 16mm potboilers and melodramas of the 1950s, ’60s, and ’90s, he became legendary as a subversively outrageous underground filmmaker whose work influenced directors such as Andy Warhol, John Waters and David Lynch. After his transition to video, he remained a master of genre manipulation creating hundreds of hilarious and often diaristic videos with a camcorder and dime-store props, while using friends and students as actors. "A rising moon and lowering standards in secular shenanigans highlight this documentary on the making of a sci-fi epic for mini-adults. The stakes are high and the porkchops well done as cast and crew blast off to kiddie dimensions only dreamed of by reformed perverts who revert back to more primitive states of fetishistic attire to usher in the new millenium." George Kuchar
