Earthlickers
In a barren post-apocalyptic future, the seven sexy Goddesses of the Merkabatron descend upon a wretched Earth to convey the message that the Vibration of Love can heal all. A campy, erotic, science fiction comedy, this cinematic love child of Barbarella and Ed Wood Jr. will soon have your Titillator vibrating on a cosmic level.

TONY MIRZA
Director, EARTHLICKERS
Tony hails from Birmingham, England, where he discovered his love of photography early via his parents’ old box Brownie camera. He attended the Polytechnic of Central London (PCL), obtaining a BA in Film (Hons), before crossing the Atlantic bound for Canada.
Landing in Vancouver in 1996, Tony pursued a career in Hollywood North. Over the years, he worked his way up from 1st Assistant Cameraman, to Operator, and finally, to Director of Photography. Tony has worked on a diverse catalogue of projects, including feature films, TV show, commercials and music videos, the latter of which he regards as the ‘perfect playground of creativity.’
For the last three years, Tony has been the 2nd Unit DOP on the very popular ABC series, Once Upon a Time. This season, he shot his own episode, as well as also shooting 2nd Unit on ABC’s spin-off Once Wonderland.
His work as DOP on the short film Joanna Makes a Friend resulted in a 2012 Leo Award nomination for Best Cinematography.
Tony recently wrapped shooting the independent feature film, Eadweard, directed by Kyle Rideout, about the world famous, turn-of-the-century photographer Eadweard Muybridge.
In the last few years, Tony has taken steps into the director’s shoes. He has directed a few commercials and music videos, as well as the short films So Called Friends and the 2014 Crazy 8's Film contest winner: Earthlickers.
One dash of Science Fiction, a pinch of Erotica, wrapped up in a tasty shell of Comedy. Earthlickers is a Science Fiction Adventure Fantasy with the emphasis on Comedy. It is Science Fiction liberally filled with the innocence of 1960’s mainstream eroticana. A ‘send up’ reminiscent of Jane Fonda’s adventures in the classic 1960’s movie Barbarella. Imagine ‘Camp’ diluted 50% and then frothed up like a dry cappuccino...with the message that the Vibration of Love can heal all. Shot and edited in just 8 days, Earthlickers is a Crazy 8's Film Society 2014 contest winner.
