Surreal Lo-Fi Fantasy OBEX - Available now on Disc and Digital

Available now, on Blu-Ray and on Digital. Set in 1987 and shot in monochrome, OBEX is a surreal lo-fi fantasy adventure with a cautionary tale about living life through a screen. The world premiere took place at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival where IndieWire called it “Eraserhead meets The Legend of Zelda.”

Conor Marsh lives a secluded life with his dog, Sandy, until one day he begins playing OBEX, a new, state-of-the-art computer game. When Sandy disappears, the line between reality and gaming blurs, and Conor must enter the world of OBEX to save her.

OBEX is a fantasy-adventure feature from the creative-mind of Albert Birney; writer and director of Strawberry Mansion (2021). Co-written by Pete Ohs (Erupcja), it stars Birney alongside Callie Hernandez (Jethica) and Frank Mosley (Rent Free).

The score was recorded by Josh Dibb, founding member of experimental rock band Animal Collective.
