The documentary was shot on May 26, 2021, in the Northern Mojave Desert in California. It follows McCarthy as he captures the Blood Moon, a total lunar eclipse that resulted in the Moon turning red for stargazers in Western America, Australia, and parts of Eastern Asia.
In the flick, McCarthy unloads his extensive equipment and waits until 02:30 in the morning for the Blood Moon to make its appearance.“I picked up this telescope on a whim. I didn’t know what I was doing,” he explains. “I was just like I’m going to buy a telescope because I’m old enough to throw money away on a toy basically.”
The film was picked as an official selection for the DOC NYC 20222 festival and for the Chagrin Falls Documentary Film Festival 2022. “One of my goals was not just to take a picture of something like the Moon but show it in a way that nobody has ever seen it,” McCarthy says in the documentary. “So I think what so fascinates me is the fact that all of this is over our heads all the time but nobody notices.”
