"Just two dudes sitting by a fire, camping alone on the 4th of July, listening to Boy Bands. Nothing to see here..."
But in this comedy short film, there is so much to see and hear! Travel back to the 1980's to a time of Mix Tapes , Boy Bands , and Velcro Wallets. The Golden Age of Alien films like #ET (1982), #Cocoon (1985), and, well, #Aliens (1986).
Using only film techniques available in the 1980s like Stop Motion Animation to bring a UFO and a Claymation Alien to life, two friends have a 4th of July adventure they can't quite remember but will never forget!
