In a universe of psychic cats and sentient pickle people, a love-struck star pilot and his annoying wingman patrol a unremarkable sector of deep space.

Director's Statement:
‘The more things change, the more they stay the same.’
I've always been rather obsessed with starfighters and the heroic pilots that send them dashing towards cylon basestars and imperial star destroyers.
But what do these hot shots talk about when they're not doing trench runs and saving the galaxy? Important stuff. Life stuff. Hobbies. Girls...
I conceived this short as a love letter to old-school filmmaking techniques. Filmed with practical spaceship models and motion-control camera systems.
No psychic cats were harmed in the making of this motion picture.
