Space Ninja
2014 · FEATURE FILM
In a distant time, civilization has stretched beyond the stars. Amid rocket-propelled fortresses, synthetic geisha, and feudal lords with laser weapons, a weary population strains beneath the iron will of a power-mad warmonger—the Undying Demon Lord.
Until one of his own turns against him.
Space Ninja follows a nameless cyber-assassin who defies his master—and his programming—after discovering a conscience he was never meant to have. Accompanied by an enigmatic young girl whose life he chose to spare, he travels between deep-space outposts seeking a way to bring down the overlord he once served and free a world he once helped oppress.
Produced by Ed Glaser and created by artist Alex Mitchell, Space Ninja blends the wandering swordsmen of classic samurai films with the imagination of anime, cyberpunk, and pulp science fiction. The project received a Telly Award for art direction and features an original score by cult-film composer Chuck Cirino.
