A teenager in suburban Florida desperately hustles to make $5,000 in this dreamy and surreal animated coming-of-age story. Made entirely in Blender, Boys Go to Jupiter is a rare artifact that captures that specific vibey limbo of being a hapless teen with dreams goddammit! And with a soundtrack of bangers from the director himself and a voice cast that features a veritable who’s who of comedic genius (Julio Torres, Cole Escola, Sarah Sherman, Elsie Fisher, Joe Perra, Chris Fleming)… Hang on to your swagway, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.

“Otherworldly… marries gummy 3-D graphics and stoned-guy humor with sly commentary on hustle culture and the gig economy.” – The New York Times
