About Time of the Robots


Time of the Robots

 


Time of the Robots is an epic silent space opera about a robot-based alien invasion.

Featuring unique visuals created by meticulously modifying and editing thousands of hours of silent and serial film footage, Time of the Robots uses an original  story, musical score, and sound design to create a new experience highly reminiscent of early cinema.

It's a new silent sci-fi B-movie...
   made from B-movies....
       for people who love B-movies!

"...wonderfully charming... one-of-a-kind joy" (Garen Daily, New Hampshire Public Radio)
    
"...idiosyncratic " (The Oregonain)
