Mock Up on Mu

Bay area cine-collagist Craig Baldwin's latest work combines existing and newly created footage to trace California's postwar subcultures of rocket pioneers, followers of alternative religions, and Beats.

In his typically audacious style, Baldwin interweaves the lives of L. Ron Hubbard (sci-fi writer and founder of Scientology), Jack Parsons (founder of the Jet Propulsion Lab and occult spiritualist), and Marjorie Cameron (mother of the New Age movement) to present a speculative farce about the militarization and corporatization of our daily lives. Baldwin is the director of Sonic Outlaws (1995). (110 mins., video)
