The Film
Get ready to be inspired by The Artist & the Astronaut! This incredible documentary tells the unlikely love story of artist Pat Musick, a passionate civil rights activist, and Apollo astronaut Jerry Carr, as they take part in some of the most historic events in human history. The film is packed with never-before-seen footage of the early space pioneers and features fascinating interviews with key figures from that era. You'll witness how Pat and Jerry, coming from vastly different worlds, navigate turbulent times and ultimately come together to create some of America’s most enduring art. The Artist & the Astronaut is an uplifting love story that shows how curiosity, perseverance, and empathy can be powerful agents of change.
The making of this documentary is just as surprising as the story it tells. Bill Muench, a full-time teacher and basketball coach, was urged by his wife to create a documentary about a local Vermont couple. With no plan or budget, he embarked on a six-year journey, traveling to nine states and two continents. Along the way, he interviewed Apollo astronauts, their wives, award-winning authors, artists, art historians, and even NASA mission control directors. Teaming up with music legend Todd Hobin, Bill managed to produce this remarkable film, telling a story that would have otherwise
