JOURNEY TO PLANET X

Scientists by day, amateur filmmakers by night, Eric and Troy turn out home-grown genre movies. Journey to Planet X follows the making of Planet X, an ambitious project that Troy hopes will achieve widespread visibility as a serious film. With a Z-movie budget and a lack of skills, Eric and Troy pursue their dream with a devotion and tenacity reminiscent of Ed Wood. At a preview showing, audiences laugh not mockingly but with genuine enthusiasm for a film they take to be camp comedy. Journey is often hilarious, but is ultimately a tribute to two men’s boundless love of filmmaking and faith in their goofy artistic vision.
