STAR XYZ

Overview

STAR XYZ is an Art House film, avant-garde, surreal, erotic space-noir short film that drifts between dreams, nightmares, and cosmic fate. Following Detective Goliath, the story begins in the neon-lit underworld of Denver before spiraling through portals, woods, alien starships, and the haunted dreamworld of Planet Sex. Along the way, he encounters cultists, fairies, demons, doubles, and a queen who births his clone. His pursuit of love with the mysterious Sally becomes inseparable from betrayal, violence, and illusion. As reality fractures, Goliath discovers that his life is a script authored by a godlike Director - culminating in a massacre and a cosmic revelation that collapses the boundary between cinema and existence. A fever-dream mosaic of betrayal, passion, psychedelic visuals, and existential terror, STAR XYZ is designed to be a rare cinematic experience: haunting, hypnotic, and unforgettable.
