As a dedicated fan of innovative and thought-provoking cinema, I’m thrilled to witness the masterful work that Press Play Films has brought to life with their latest project, Spaceman. The trailer alone left me in awe of this unique psychological journey that explores the deeply relatable themes of imposter syndrome and insecurity.


Press Play Films brings a unique psychological theme to life with Spaceman!

In this film, the characters confront deep-seated issues such as feelings of inadequacy or the fear of being exposed as a fraud. Starring in the sci-fi drama are J.K. Simmons, who has won an Oscar, Mena Massoud from Aladdin, and Trevor Copp.

 

Spaceman trailer unveiled its unique theme

In his directorial debut, “Spaceman” by up-and-coming filmmaker Dan Abramovici, blends timeless Hollywood artistry akin to Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton with contemporary special effects. The thought-provoking narrative unfolds through various techniques such as mime, stop motion animation, classic hand-drawn images, and theatrical presentations.

Additionally, the movie is a follow-up to Abramovici’s past projects, including the Oscar-contending short “Play It Again.” In “Spaceman,” an artist seeks to recover his lost inspiration and fervor. To regain his skills, he encounters his “imposter syndrome,” portrayed by Simmons, and forms an alliance with his passion, represented by Massoud. The topics are challenging, authentic, and resonant simultaneously.

Creator of Spaceman talks about the intention of the film

Mashayekhi, Massoud, and Abramovici, under the label Press Play Productions, are behind the creation of “Spaceman.” Their unique style as writers and directors sets them apart in filmmaking. One of their notable productions is “Play It Again,” a poignant short film that earned an Oscar nomination and the Best Short Film award at the 2021 Austin Film Festival.

Abramovici is gaining recognition as a talented filmmaker with his upcoming project, “Searching for Marceau,” generating excitement. However, his journey to this point began with acting roles in Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla” and CBS’s “Star Trek Discovery.”

In an interview with Variety, he shared his motivations for making Spaceman. He mentioned his goal to “make the boundary between what’s real and what’s not blurry.” Furthermore, he explained that exploring Spaceman’s subconscious provides a peek into the “therapeutic aspect of artistic innovation.”

Mashayekhi, the producer, stated that the film stands out due to its commercial appeal while maintaining its artistic authenticity. This film can resonate deeply with viewers worldwide.
