The Mysterious Moon Men of Canada is a Canadian short film, directed by Colin Brunton and released in 1988.[1]
A mockumentary,[2] the film centres on Brownie McFadden (Gerry Quigley), a documentary filmmaker who is trying to track down two guys from Owen Sound, Ontario who flew to the moon in a homemade rocket in 1959 — ten years before the Apollo 11 mission — but were too polite and unassuming, too stereotypically Canadian, to publicly take credit for the achievement.[2]
Accolades
The film won the Genie Award for Best Live Action Short Drama at the 10th Genie Awards.[3]
