synopsis
Launch" is a riveting short film that propels viewers into the intersection of space exploration and drum & bass, directed, produced, and written by the maestro of beats, Crissy Criss, with co-production and director of photography by the visionary Josh Perrett.
The story centers around Inja, a fearless astronaut portrayed by drum & bass MC Inja, chosen to embark on an audacious mission to explore the outer reaches of our solar system. As the spacecraft hurtles through the cosmos, Crissy Criss, in the role of ground control, guides Inja with a pulsating soundtrack that fuses seamlessly with the breathtaking visuals.
However, the mission takes a perilous turn when Inja loses communication with ground control after being ensnared by the gravitational force of a mysterious black hole. Now adrift in the vast unknown, Inja's only hope lies in the hands of Crissy Criss, who abandons his post to embark on a daring rescue mission.
As Crissy Criss navigates the cosmic expanse, the film introduces some of the biggest pioneers and legends within the drum & bass/jungle scene. Each encounter becomes a collaborative dance of beats and visuals, paying homage to the genre's rich history and the diverse talents within the community.
The film's heart-pounding climax is accompanied by the highly anticipated "Launch" remix, skillfully produced by Hospital Records artist Urbandawn. The soundtrack serves as the heartbeat of the mission, intensifying the emotional stakes as Crissy Criss races against time to bring Inja back to Earth.
"Launch" is more than a short film; it's a sensory journey that melds the rhythm of drum & bass with the vastness of space. With Crissy Criss at the helm and a stellar cast of drum & bass luminaries, this film takes audiences on a ride through the cosmos, celebrating the power of collaboration, friendship, and the unyielding spirit of exploration.
