Fusing harsh realities with otherworldly wonders, Jorge G. Camarena’s short film Spaceship is an adept blend of melancholy and magical realism. An Mfa graduate of the AFI Conservatory’s directing program, Camarena had a robust career in music video and commercial work before pursuing his postgraduate studies. The visual slickness of his commissioned work coupled with a desire to tell stories of people living on the margins makes for a final product that is both sharply focused and totally vulnerable. This description also feels apt for Spaceship’s protagonist, a trans woman and single […]

With outings at last year’s London Film Festival and its exultant reception at SXSW, writer/director Alex Taylor’s feature length debut, Spaceship, is obviously very close to his heart. A journey of a neon psychedelic haze of teenage confusion of the unconventional kind, Taylor’s coming of age story kicks the selfie-loving social media crazy teenage population to one side to give those classed as outsiders their time in the spotlight. Along with unicorns and black holes.
Somewhat experimental, the outcry of attention-seeking and a longing to find where these weird cluster of teenagers belong in this world lay heavy on the narrative. It is a fresh, fragmented flurry which flits between a father frantically looking for his missing daughter whilst being sucked into the abyss of her friends’ bizarre, out of this world, mist of delirium. Thrown in for good measure, Taylor uses clips...

Writer/Director Alex Taylor is about to see his first feature length production, Spaceship, which has been backed by the BFI, hits cinemas on May 19th. Taylor makes his transition from short films to embark on his hallucinogenic cinematic journey with an experimental unconventional coming of age story.
A story of teenage troubles, far from those Hollywood loves to portray but from those teenagers who are classed as outsiders in our modern society, ones that want to be unicorns and aliens and, to most, are just plain weird. Spaceship centers on Lucidia (Alexa Davies) as she fakes her own alien abduction, leaving her father to delve into her strange teenage world of neon dream-like visions.
We spoke with Alex Taylor at length to take us into his world of creating Spaceship, its musical connection and its triumphant reception at SXSW.

If you like your coming-of-age stories with a twist of psychedelia and completely bonkers the upcoming film Spaceship, judging from the trailer could be right up your street.
Related: Take a look at all our British Film articles here.
From the trailer, without even reading the synopsis, you would have no idea whatsoever what to expect or what the film is about. A bunch of teenage outsiders prance around as if they have just overdone that bong sitting in the corner while donning fluorescent make-up all whilst dreaming of being abducted by aliens and disappearing through black holes while riding on unicorns. Come on – what’s not to be completely intrigued by from that?

★★★★☆ Alex Taylor's debut feature makes no bones about its American arthouse influences - it's entirely up front about them. Gregg Araki and Harmony Korine are all over Spaceship like a lampshade. In transporting the acclaimed pairs' teenage wasteland visions of America to Aldershot, Hampshire, an army town in southern England, Taylor's creative gambit is a move fraught with the perils of cheap imitation and could well have been a thunderously ill-conceived move. There is imagination and poetry all its own making, in Spaceship.

Spaceship
I’m not much of a fan of experimental films, but there’s a quality of dreamy questing in Spaceship, the feature debut of British writer-director Alex Taylor, that I found intriguingly wistful. The teenagers who live around an army base in suburban England whisper stories about alien abductions, and then Lucidia (Alexa Davies) goes missing in a dazzle of colors and flashing lights, as witnessed by a friend. Her lonely widower father, Gabriel (Antti Reini), searches for her and her friends speculate about where she has gone, but this isn’t a science-fiction mystery, and no one seems particularly worried about her. The plotlessness and general lack of specific response to Lucidia’s disappearance becomes an avant-garde fug that frustrated me, but I quite enjoyed the overall sense of Lucidia’s friends and...

Alex Taylor's Spaceship plays homage to the misfits and the outcasts of society. The teenage characters are an amalgamation of hippie, glam, punk, goth, and rave cultures, celebrating individuality and personal freedom with stylistic bombast. The oblique narrative exists on a metaphoric plane, rather than a physical one. Steeped in mythologies, Spaceship is a sublime blend of the metaphysical and the psychedelic.

He may only have three features under his belt, but producer Olivier Kaempfer is quickly establishing himself as an central figure in London’s independent film community. His first production, director Jules Bishop’s Borrowed Time, won Best of the Fest at Edinburgh in 2012, and his second, Desiree Akhavan’s Appropriate Behavior, broke out at Sundance 2014 followed by a successful theatrical run and extensive critical praise. Now his third film, Spaceship, a family drama packaged as a trippy science-fiction story, has pushed Kaempfer and his company Parkville Pictures into new territory, both in terms of content and the production process. Written and directed by Alex Taylor, the […]...

Guy Myhill’s film is the first to be made under Creative England’s iFeatures2 scheme.
Principal photography for The Goob has begun in Norfolk.
For production details visit
The Goob
It is the first film to be made under iFeatures2, the second iteration of Creative England’s low-budget filmmaking scheme.
The Goob is one of three greenlit from Creative England and its iFeatures2 partners the BFI Film Fund, BBC Films and the Creative Skillset Film Skills Fund.
Its budget of $645,000 (£415,000) is higher than the original $545,000 (£350,000) announced at the launch of the scheme due to the ambitious nature of the film, which will see some scenes filmed live at Swaffham Raceway during banger and stock car racing.
