Synopsis by Mark Deming
Filmmaker Craig Baldwin offers a bracing mixture of fantasy, fact and bizarre speculation in this satiric science fiction story which features both real-life and fictional characters as well as footage from vintage sci-fi flicks amidst new footage. In the year 2019, L. Ron Hubbard (Damon Packard) has been banished from Earth, but he's making the most of it by becoming the Moon's leading entrepreneur. Calling the lunar satellite "Mu," he's filled it with amusement parks, sells naming rights to the better-known moonscapes, and fills the skies with advertisements. But Hubbard still has some scores to settle back home, and persuades one of his underlings, Marjorie Cameron (Michelle Silva), to head back to Earth and play Mata Hari, using her feminine wiles to get information from a clueless scientist (Kal Spelletich) and a dishonest weapons dealer (Stoney Burke). However, Marjorie, aka "Agent C," learns that there's more to Hubbard's devious plans than he lets on. Mock Up On Mu received its premiere at the 2008 San Francisco International Film Festival.
