The American Astronaut

In a western bar out in space, Samuel Curtis (McAbee) wins a dance contest. He gets an assignment to go to Jupiter, a planet with only men, where he is to trade a box with a woman seed for a boy that has seen women breasts, much to the men of Jupiter's amazement. On his journey, Curtis gets followed by a man who always claims it's his birthday, and for some reason kills everyone around Curtis.

Unpolished country/rock music and undescribable dance performances accompany this somewhat bizarre story. Add to this mixture of western, musical and science fiction, an expressionistic play with light and shadows. McAbee has definitely created a film that doesn't resemble many others.
