Hinsdale Documentarian and His ‘Mutant Mold in Outer Space!’

Hinsdale filmmaker Radek Skalski, 29, the founder of Liquid Logic films, recently completed his largest project to date: “Mutant Mold in Outer Space,” a documentary about the negative impact of Earth microorganisms brought on board spaceships, the Doings Hinsdale reports.

According to the paper, Skalski founded Liquid Logic in 2007 after graduating from the Film, Video and New Media program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago; his “Mutant Mold,” made for  Occupational & Environmental Health Consulting Service Inc., where he used to do data entry, discusses topics like how fungi ended up starting a fire on the MIR space station.

“Whatever happens in a spaceship stays in a spaceship,” Skalski told the paper, referencing a rocket ship labeled “Las Vegas” in the documentary, one of several amusing and pop-culture references thrown in to break up the jargon.

“I take every project I do very seriously. I approach it as if it were something I was passionate about… Mold is boring, [but] if I did something to make it exciting, mission accomplished.”
