Collapse The Horizon

Love So Far Poster - 1200x675.PNG

For centuries, the Zorts and the Gorps, two opposing alien empires, have been in a military stalemate. Lieutenants Gumpus and Klob are two soldiers who work at the Zortabulon Galactic Annihilator, a space weapon of mass destruction aimed at the rival galaxy of Gorplaxia. They spend their days mindlessly playing space ping-pong, certain that they will never have to actually fire their weapon because several lightyears away, two enemy Gorps, Wimbo and Schmoopy, are in an identical machine pointing right back at them. One day, however, both pairs of soldiers are ordered to fire their weapons, assuring the ending of both species. Wacky hijinx ensue as the opposing pairs must decide whether to follow their orders or think for themselves. Collapse the Horizon is a timely nuclear fable about the conflict between duty and empathy. With a galaxy's worth of laughs and a lot of heart, you can find that even the most disposable, forgettable, and slightly inept space-misfits can make a difference…
