"July 17 will see the long-awaited release of Beer Drinkers in Space, the long-rumored garage-flick from Frank Delle and his former Disney cohorts. In 1983, this motley collection of animators, effects techs, and other assorted crewmen banded together to film their own Sci-Fi masterpiece. The result is the highly entertaining, Z-grade, high-camp feature Beer Drinkers in Space. Follow the adventures of Captain Slosh and his crew of Star Trek meets Star Wars meets Ed Wood characters. Extras include a new retrospective documentary featuring new interviews with many of the perpetrators, I mean, contributors." - EveCraveDVD.com

SYNOPSIS: In 1983, a group of friends who worked at Disney made a movie. It took nine long months to complete and consumed their lives as they constructed spaceship sets in their homes and garages. Elaborate models and pyrotechnics were shot. The intrepid moviemakers popped open a few beers and got in front of the camera to shoot this camp comedy feature about Captain Slosh and his bumbling crew of beer drinkers...in space! Now, more than two decades later, writer/director Frank Delle has unearthed this lost cult classic and paired it together with a delightful, insightful documentary which reunites the cast and crew of this sci-fi/comedy epic. Crack open some brews, sit back and enjoy the complete saga of BEER DRINKERS IN SPACE!
