The Moon, McMoons, and the Moon Museum is a film that conflates the past, present and future possibilities, suggested by space exploration. Beginning with the first art object to be unofficially sent to the Moon aboard the Apollo Twelve in 1969: The Moon Museum. Multiple narratives run simultaneously through the piece addressing: the ideas behind the Moon Museum; a multicultural narrative of human fascination with the Moon; McMoons the archive for the mapping of the Moon in preparation for the Apollo Missions and site of the Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project; and the Moon as a solution to the question of how we save our collective human cultural production, in the face of the environmental damage caused to this planet. It features interviews from artist Forrest Myers, and scientists Laurance Doyle, Jill Tarter (both SETI Institute) and Douglas Vakoch (METI) who discuss the Moon from a variety of perspectives.

The Moon Museum object was an Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) project instigated by artist Forrest Myers, featuring contributions from Andy Warhol, John Chamberlain, Forrest Myers, Claes Oldenberg, David Novros, and Robert Rauschenberg. Bolster's use of the documentary format is combined with multiple non-linear narratives and sometimes contrasting ideas in fact and fiction. Through this he creates an expanded discourse of ideas as opposed to a single or patriarchal point of view.
