LOS ANGELES - Oct. 1, 2011 - Two documentarians accidentally uncover proof of a hidden city on the moon and the secret society determined to keep it hidden in Lunopolis, landing on DVD Oct. 11 from Walking Shadows (distributed by Virgil Films & Entertainment).

During a late night radio conspiracy show, a frantic caller claims human beings from the future are living on the moon, controlling our every action. The call is cut short … But when a mysterious box arrives at the station days later, documentary filmmakers Matt (writer/director Matthew Avant) and Sonny (co-producer Hal Maynor) pursue the story, tracking a set of hidden coordinates deep into Louisiana's swamps.

Discovering an enormous, underground facility, the duo finds there may actually be truth to the caller's story.
Entangled in something meant forgotten, they narrowly escape but soon find themselves threatened by the bizarre and reclusive Church of Lunology, a dangerous group dedicated to safeguarding mysterious secrets and silencing those who interfere.

Hunted and on the run, the men keep the cameras rolling as they fight to survive, discover earth's secret history and reach a makeshift time machine that could unlock the very gateway to eternal life. A mind-bending experience, Lunopolis offers a surprisingly compelling explanation for … well, everything.
