Boys Go to Jupiter - Seattle Premiere
USA | 2024 | 90 min. | Julian Glander
A teenager in suburban Florida desperately hustles to make $5,000 in this dreamy and surreal animated coming-of-age story. Made entirely in Blender, Boys Go to Jupiter is a rare artifact that captures that specific vibey limbo of being a hapless teen with dreams goddammit! And with a soundtrack of bangers from the director himself and a voice cast that features a veritable who’s who of comedic genius (Julio Torres, Cole Escola, Sarah Sherman, Elsie Fisher, Joe Perra, Chris Fleming)… Hang on to your swagway, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.

Director Julian Glander scheduled to attend a virtual Q&A after the screening.

Film is preceded by Short Film:
