Hey Everyone!

If you’re a Disney fan on the internet, it’s pretty likely that you’ve heard of the popular YouTube channel Defunctland. Known for their incredibly thorough and niche research pieces on often neglected Theme Park and Entertainment history, Defucnctland continues to deliver genuinely interesting content through experimental means. 

Today, we’re here to discuss their newest venture, which takes them beyond short-form internet content and into the world of a feature-length documentary. In Live From the Space Stage: A Haylx Story, we discover the untold story behind an often forgotten Disney Records Rock n’ Roll Band called Haylx. In just an hour and a half, we learn of the origins, experimental performances, and melancholy end while listening to interviews from former members and the band’s creative team. If you’ve never heard of Haylx or their performances at Disneyland, this documentary is the perfect source to check out! 

After watching the film, we wanted nothing more than to learn more about the creative process. When given the opportunity to talk to the film’s director Matthew Serrano, we knew we had to say yes. Join us as we talk about his inspirations, creative process, experiences during interviewing and research, and much more!
