This sci-fi comedy became a four-year labour of love for director Christian Nicolson. It was inspired by memories of old school sci-fi like Blake’s 7 and Star Trek, in the days before computers transformed special effects. Three geeks (one played by Nicolson) are plunged into an alien world which inexplicably resembles a B-grade movie. The project was runner-up from 750 entries in low budget contest Make My Movie. In this excerpt, the crew have some tense encounters while trying to find replacement spaceship parts at a trading post. Boulder won Best Comedy prizes at sci-fi festivals in London and Boston.
The news is we have finished all principal photography. Yippee. I have released my actors of the bonds, so they can finally get a haircut or shave their beards after nearly two years of filming. A far cry from the three months I first promised. Some things just take time.– Director Christian Nicolson, in an August 2015 blog entry for the movie
