Hank Nova is Bus of the Undead's entry into New Zealand's largest film competition: 48Hours Furious Film Making. Written, shot and edited all within a 48 hour time frame, it is a true testament to the efforts of the team.

Given the wonderfully vague genre of 'puppet film' the crew rallied to create a short based on old school sci-fi serials. This retro classic features Hank Nova, a dashing space hunk; Robin Slade, an eternally optimistic robot; Highschool Sweetheart, highschool sweetheat; and General Mayhem, an evil interdimensional dictator. Now that's what I'm talking about!
