In the year 2164, when rock ‘n roll is banned, a group of underground rebels, led by a mad scientist, attempt to start a non-violent revolution by waking up the docile masses via a cloned rockstar sent on a guerrilla tour to “rock n roll them free from the tyranny”. But they soon find out, the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.

About the Director

Röckët Stähr is a singer/songwriter/composer/pianist/guitarist/bassist living in Brooklyn, NY. “Röckët Stähr’s Death of a Rockstar” is his first feature film which he wrote, performed most of the parts for, and spent 8 years animating entirely on his own, having never previously animated anything in his life. The entire project took 13 years to complete, and is the world’s first feature-length animated rock opera.
