winner Indie film festivalAn encounter with the long-lost god who created humanity; sex-obsessed and entirely mad (Jessie Lande)

SMBC Theater, Starpocalypse, web series, is a comic space soap opera set in the far future where the last liberal arts professor and his brother, a physics professor, go into space after having outlived their usefulness on earth. This series hinges on deeper statements about human nature and is particularly thought-provoking when the subject is alternative and often irreverent ways of looking at theology. In a desperate attempt to find some purpose for philosophy, the brothers encounter a being in outer space who claims that she is the long-lost god who created humanity. She is sex-obsessed, entirely mad and takes them hostage. The plot is zany, clever, over-the-top and yet balanced. The series results from a collaboration of screenwriters James Ashby and Zach Weinersmith, Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal (SMBC) and director Jason Axinn. Viewers love this campy, online hit.
