From writer-director Julian Glandner (creator of the cult video game "Art Sqool") comes BOYS GO TO JUPITER, a dreamy and surreal animated coming-of-age musical about a gig worker who encounters a creature from another world.

It's the day after Christmas in suburban Florida and Billy 5000 and his friends pass the seemingly endless days by slacking, shoplifting, and beatboxing. In between lounging on the beach and sneaking into pools, Billy spends his time hustling on the food-on-demand app Grubster, desperate to make $5,000 before New Year's Eve. As he darts around the city delivering to a series of oddball characters, a routine stop at the mysterious Dolphin Groves Juice Company leads to a run-in with his former classmate--and crush--Rozebud, and a surprise backpack stowaway in Donut, a bizarre creature from another world. But Dr. Dolphin, the powerful orange juice CEO, will do anything to get Donut back, and Billy is forced to make hard choices about love, friendship, and how far he'll go for financial security in a world ruled by capitalism in this absurdist and musical take on a coming-of-age comedy. Featuring the voices of Jack Corbett, Miya Folick, Janeane Garofalo, Julio Torres, Tavi Gevenson.

"'Boys Go To Jupiter' seems destined to develop a cult following. It may be gentle, but it's bold." (Eye For Film)

"Like 'Slackers' with teenagers, very strange fruit, and adorable aliens who love take out food, set in Florida instead of Austin with music and 3D style animation." (New York Times)

"An experience like nothing else you will see in a theater this year and it’s well worth every second of your time." (InSession Film)

"'Boys Go to Jupiter' is one of the weirdest and most outlandish movies I've ever seen, but it also has a disarming charm that's hard to resist." (ScreenRant)

"Bizarre, hilarious, and boasting refreshingly distinct animation, Boys Go to Jupiter is a wonderfully absurd experience." (Mashable)

BOYS GO TO JUPITER (Julian Glander, 2024 / 89 mins / NR) Set in the liminal period between Christmas and New Year’s, the story follows the adventures of Billy 5000 (Jack Corbett), a teenage gig worker with a rise-and-grind mindset whose quest to make $5,000 is derailed by the appearance of a gelatinous little dude from outer space. Using the power of lo-fi musical numbers and deadpan comedy, Billy must save Donut and his family from the evil schemes of the Dolphin Groves Juice Company.
