​
A music video by Keegan Kenrick for their senior film these, Spaceman explores the disassociation of surrounds that a queer individual faces, examining the "puberty" that they must go through when they come out, ultimately allowing them to be their true self. The film is inspired by Kenricks own childhood experiences, as well as their fascination with fantastical stories of wonder and exploration.
Built in a storage unit in Queens, NY, over the course of a month, Spaceman is made up of 2 main units: the Ship Console, and the Newsstand. The Space Console is custom fabricated in 4 sections for ease of transport and assembly, and contains light up buttons controlled manually by Max Van. It also features a "window" of boards that give the illusion of a B-Movie style setup. The Newsstand is made of 3 flats connected together and then vandalized to give a look reminiscent of the streets of
New York.
