Logline
A truly unhinged mash-up of the production styles of Heavy Metal, Barbarella and Blade Runner.
Synopsis
28th Century, 200 years after the Great Earth Exodus. Naia, a feisty, young singer, falls in love with saxophonist Parker in Ganymede, one of Jupiter’s moons. The two form a band – and now they have to not only make it as musicians but also to fight for their freedom.
This is a world of space pirates, indentured slaves and genetic mutations infused with music throughout that create a dreamlike tale unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
Film Review
“it is so refreshing to see a film as unique, original and enjoyable as Strange Frame...a rare film: inspiration by other forms is noticeable, but it is not merely repetition or homage. It is a dreamscape, one that does not shy aware from the ugly, yet celebrates the beautiful.” - Shelagh M. Rowan-Legg, Twitch Film"Probably one of the most visually riveting movies released in recent years. The energy and beauty of the animation and the strength of its vocal performers keep this story of love up among the stars." - Adam Mohrbacher, Film Monthly
“The film excels is with the music…soulful jazz riffs on solo saxophone that will make your heart ache just listening to them.” – Siobhan Greene, Fangoria
