If you loved The Big Empty, try The Astronaut Farmer
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Comedy / Drama / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Big Empty, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Astronaut Farmer is
Texan Charles Farmer trades Air Force life and astrophysics studies for family ranch survival only to ignore the math and build a barn-launched rocket. The FBI and FAA circle like coyotes while a dream with no launch window ignites. A love letter to DIY that crashes into reality.
