Single8

Seventeen-year-olds armed with a Fisher-Price camera and a Star Wars fever dream decide the school festival needs a star-spangled apocalypse. One delirious summer of 8mm reels later their homemade starship turns out to be a prototype for temporal regret. The celluloid time bomb ticks mostly on awkwardness, with heroics arriving as a happy accident.
