ASTRAL PLANE DRIFTER
Synopsis
THE BEST WESTERN/SCI-FI/KUNG-FU/GRINDHOUSE/PSYCHEDELIC STONER COMEDY IN THE HISTORY OF EVER!!! LOGLINE: Sometime Before Yesterday… Or After Tomorrow. Somewhere Out In The Yonder. There Was This Guy… SYNOPSIS: Sometime before yesterday... or after tomorrow, a man called Drifter, goes on an existential journey through a maze of outrageous scenarios with his trusted Sidekick, to save the day. The girl. And maybe even the Universe! SUMMARY: The enigmatic, endearing, outrageously mellow Drifter walks across the open desert; a man on a mission. As he moves towards the first of his many zany skirmishes, we hear through flashback and narration, some of his backstory and what has led him here; his Ex-Girlfriend has been captured by Space Vampires. After saving the girl, he continues on his journey but finds that there are other powers at work. The malevolent GalaxiKhan turns out to be not only Drifter’s primary foe, but the force behind the Space Vampires and also the Snake People who spring up several times in the most ridiculous of ways to attempt to thwart and capture Drifter. Meanwhile, GalaxiKhan holds Sidekick, Drifter’s loyal companion, prisoner in his lair, gleefully torturing him and anticipating Drifter’s arrival. Along the way, Drifter also encounters Uncle Wizard, and The Wise One, and is reminded of his role as a Mystic of the First Order. This MOFO goes on to defeat GalaxiKhan and all his minions, rescuing Sidekick, and maybe even the universe!

Productions (Named after the iconic Marlon Brando line in The Wild One when his character is asked “What are you rebelling against?”).
