“…An often hilarious, sometimes inscrutable, always original film that’s part pop-cultural fantasia, part capitalist critique” – New York Magazine

Drug orgies, spaceships and monsters, oh my… Rising from the hippie-UFO scene comes MOCK-UP ON MU, the newest cult film from the infamous Craig Baldwin. MU follows the intertwined lives of Jack Parson, inventor of rocket fuel; Marjorie Cameron, new age sex leader; and L. Ron Hubbard, the science fiction writer–turned–Scientology founder, as the insansational ’60s feeds them with the occult, beatniks, and spaceships to the moon. Baldwin has made cult masterpieces like Tribulation 99 and Sonic Outlaws, and may know every conspiracy and urban legend invented from Alcatraz to Bermuda. The cultural historian and culture jammer literally lives in a basement film vault with wireless Internet. His takes on the lurid history of the universe are crazed yet commonsensical. Mashing up real events with rumors and miles of found footage, he creates an elegiac fairy-tale so cohesive that you’ll feel like a manic scholar afterwards.

“…This new work hits your synapses like a cluster bomb, assailing your tremulous gray matter with a barrage of cinematic fragments (most recycled, some newly shot), miscellaneous rants and ruminations” – Manohla Dargis, New York Times

“…Latest unclassifiable, near-indescribable effort by San Francisco-based ‘culture jammer’ Craig Baldwin, MOCK-UP ON MU a typically dense yet delightful combination of found and new footage in the service of a fanciful semi-fact-based narrative … those loyal to pop-culture-savvy experimentalism should find the gambit has considerable rewards” – Dennis Harvey, Variety
