A mockumentary,[2] the film centres on Brownie McFadden (Gerry Quigley), a documentary filmmaker who is trying to track down two guys from Owen Sound, Ontario who flew to the moon in a homemade rocket in 1959 — ten years before the Apollo 11 mission — but were too polite and unassuming, too stereotypically Canadian, to publicly take credit for the achievement.[2]
Accolades
The film won the Genie Award for Best Live Action Short Drama at the 10th Genie Awards.[3]
gollark: I thought they used EFI and did not in fact boot like they were 8086 now?
gollark: I don't want to use Python because it'd just devolve into the incomprehensible mess which Minoteaur and RSAPI are. Rust is, and as previously mentioned. Nim would require me to copypaste my random utility libraries all over the place and they'd be bad.
gollark: Besides, the issue isn't web, it's all programming languages ever.
gollark: Says the developer of Macron.
gollark: But hardware is designed with programming languages.
