Description

A radical hybrid of spy, sci-fi, western, and even horror genres, Mock Up On Mu cobbles together a feature-length "collage-narrative" based on (mostly) true stories of California's post-war sub-cultures of rocket pioneers, alternative religions and Beat lifestyles. Pulp-serial snippets, industrial-film imagery and B- (and Z-) fiction clips are intercut with newly shot live-action material, powering a playful, allegorical trajectory through the now-mythic occult matrix of Jack Parsons, L Ron Hubbard (sci-fi author turned Scientology leader), and Marjorie Cameron (bohemian artist and "mother of the New Age movement").
