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.
