Alberta certainly has in <em><strong>The Second Age of Aquarius<\/strong><\/em>. Since she was a kid, she&#x2019;s dreamt of a world where ultimate Sixties rock icon Russell Aquarius was still alive and writing songs just for her. Now a successful computer programmer, she takes her fandom and wishful thinking a step further and makes a Russell Aquarius avatar. Her loneliness and a freak power outage give her more than she bargains for when sparks fly not just in her computer, but also in reality when Russell&#x2019;s avatar comes to life! He&#x2019;s everything she dreamed&#x2026; at first. Turns out Russell Aquarius thinks he&#x2019;s having the ultimate bad trip and he wants to bring Alberta along for the magic carpet ride!<\/p>\n<p>Written and directed by Staci Layne Wilson (<strong><em>Fetish Factory<\/em><\/strong>), written alongside Darren Gordon Smith (<strong><em>Repo!
