Project Detail

Get in Your Rocket and Follow Me!

Synopsis

Billy Gibbons lives in a village called Audlem in Cheshire, quite an odd place, which sometimes has a slight feel of League of Gentlemen about it. Still, Billy stands out -  every aspect of his existence is somehow rooted in the 1950s: from his clothes, house, car, music to his rocket man objects which signify the 50s exploration of space and lunar landing.
 
This documentary shows the lifestyle and multiple characters of this unusual man.

Gilbert Watikins as Robbie (younger) In My Beginning Is My End

Director: Ben O'Connor

Year: 2026

Robbie exists on the margins of society. He lives alone on a narrow boat in rural England with little means. He has found solace in isolation and a humble life. Unexpectedly he is contacted with the unwanted news of his estranged father’s death. This drags up emotions from the past that quickly become too much to bear… And so, the story begins… A journey back into his past. A journey on a motorcycle to find his mother. He drives, alone, through desolate landscapes, barren and mountainous, into the depths of his mind. A dream world where Robbie is forced to confront his past. Two stories emerge; memories from his childhood recurrently appear, fracturing the present where ex-lovers who have shaped his life confront him in surreal encounters. With time the two stories collide, past and present become one. The road leads in one direction, back to his childhood home and ultimately, his first and now final love; his mother. For where he began, he will now end and know himself for the first time.
