CAPRICORN 29 (CyberTank, 2021)

directed by Alex Hare

WRITTEN BY JULIA IZUMI AND ALEX HARE

SONGS BY Mark Sonnenblick, Daniel & Patrick Lazour, Laura Galindo and Storm Thomas

A micro-budget “internet film” with original songs, about a 29-year-old falling prey to an anti-capitalist YouTube conspiracy theory that she’ll be eliminated on her 30th birthday due to her relative lack of artistic success.

“[A] cleverly constructed video production….we are in a golden age of people explaining to those of us online what it’s like to be online. And it’s in this way that I think Capricorn 29 is actually brilliant….[what’s real] is the way every maker on the team handles and embroiders the digital fabric.” - Helen Shaw, Vulture/NY Magazine

“The innovative work of these first-rate talents is funny, insightful, and masterful; I can’t recommend it highly enough and I can’t wait to see what they do next.” - DC Metro Theater Arts
