“Just go see it and enjoy yourself. Jen Moon's performance as the nameless amnesiac heroine is smart and funny. LaChrista Borgers's turn as the robot companion Trickle confirms that women in pink wigs make us think bad thoughts. Stan Shields brings all the gravitas and physical presence you could want to his super-hero character The Amazing Dr. X, while capturing his vulnerable side. And Kristina Sutherland, who has yet to disappoint us, recalls what Deckard must have been like before he became the burned-out shell of a man we meet in Blade Runner, with her hard-as-nails performance as psychic security officer Agent Grey.”
“Clever, amusing.... Sardonic bon mots are scattered throughout.... [Writer/director] Moore conjures...with geeky authority and natural comic flair.”
“This trippy, smart, new sci-fi fantasy...uses futuristic techno-speak cleverly, and often keeps you guessing.”
In this “bent science-fiction vision of the godly plane”, the “characters joust with jaded irreverence and are skeptical of their own tropes.” The show is “zany fun...as if Joseph Campbell wrote an episode of Red Dwarf.”
“Jen Moon [as] ‘Andrea Change’...is wonderful to watch.... The very strong cast...takes a very funny journey into Infinity.... The journey is worth taking.”
interlace [falling star] delivers “a cheerful blend of horror and humor, fueled by a heady mixture of future shock and super-heroics. Gotta say this about Annex: For a company that just reached the advanced age of 21, it's still unafraid to tackle weird material and provocative ideas.”
“Behind the absurdity, sci-fi mystery takes on serious questions about God and faith”
In this epic blend of science-fiction and fantasy, a mysterious amnesiac finds herself in the lobby of an infinitely tall building located in the center of the multiverse, the headquarters of the United Association of Interdimensionary Travelers.
Her unexplained presence sets off a series of increasingly catastrophic events that not only compromise the security of the Association, but threaten to unravel the entire fabric of creation itself!
Can a superhero with a divine pedigree, an android companion, and archangels and devils together combine forces to help "Andrea Change" find her true identity, and prevent the impending apocalypse?
Drawing on influences as diverse as the metaphysical explorations of Philip K. Dick, and the scrappy tradition of low-budget sci-fi television, interlace [falling star] is a unique saga of love, loss, and redemption.
