‘Hey Celestial’ is a video capstone project based on the texts of Toni Morrison. It examines Morrison's recurring character of the wild/wanton woman, using images of silence and absence to depict her in the isolation created by her freedom. The juxtaposition of sung text, intertext, and subtitled text deliberately recreates the interior discord of secluded madness.

Four talented alien musicians are kidnapped by a record producer who disguises them as humans. Shep, a space pilot in love with bass player Stella, follows them to Earth. Reprogrammed to forget their real identities and renamed The Crescendolls, the group quickly becomes a huge success playing soulless corporate pop. At a concert, Shep manages to free all the musicians except Stella, and the band sets out to rediscover who they really are — and to rescue Stella.

When the first manned mission to Mars meets with a catastrophic and mysterious disaster after reporting an unidentified structure, a rescue mission is launched to investigate the tragedy and bring back any survivors.
