Description
 
Avant-garde filmmaker and master of collage Craig Baldwin pulls out all stops in this feature-length compilation film based on "true" stories of California's strange subcultures. Rocket pioneer Jack Parsons, sci-fi author and cult leader L. Ron Hubbard, and New Age earth mother Marjorie Cameron are the "stars" of Mock Up on Mu, as their lives are portrayed in pulp-serial snippets, industrial films, and fictional clips from old movies combined with newly shot live-action material. Their intertwined tales exploit California's reputation as the world of the weird while offering a speculative farce on the corporate take-over of spiritual pursuits and leisure activities. "Hits your synapses like a cluster bomb" (The New York Times).
