Operation Superstar is a satirical exploration of the contemporary underground DJ scene in Melbourne, investigating the dialogue between individualist and collective mindsets. The film follows two friends, rife with separate naiveties, as they venture into nocturnal chaos with one simple mission, to unsheathe their sacred USB drive and play a DJ set by any means. The only problem is, they aren’t booked anywhere. Their plan takes them on a surreal whirlwind and a night of transformation, punctuated by encounters with comical spiritual mentors including a techno sensei, a giant rat, a hot-pink demon and a gang of predatory scallywags.
