The press release for the film describes it as "A blend of science fiction, fantasy and coming-of-age, combining elements of classic Hollywood, à la Chaplin and Keaton, with cutting-edge practical effects, in a film that brings to mind classic works by Michel Gondry and Baz Luhrman."
Spaceman uses mime, stop motion, classical animation and theatrical elements to explore an artist’s loss of creative passion and his journey to regain it. Connected to his passion (Mena Massoud), Spaceman (Trevor Copp) must travel through the looking glass and battle his imposter syndrome (JK Simmons) to truly see himself again.
The Spaceman trailer pits the protagonist against himself in a battle for his creative side. We get glimpses of the use of mime, stop-motion, and classic animation during the 53-second trailer. It looks like a pretty intriguing project that celebrates the arts in an imaginative way.
