A chance encounter in the desert changes everything when a teenage girl, Renee (Lulu Wilson), discovers a terrifying alien, and they form a special bond when she realizes it’s not anything she expected. Uncovering a secret that could affect both of their worlds sends them on an adventure as she, along with the help of classmate Gil (Trae Romano), race to escape government agents and protect her new friend.

Stars Wilson and Romano, as well as the writer and director of the film, Matthew Loren Oates, recently spoke with SciFi Vision about creating the movie, working with the team at Jim Henson Productions who designed the alien, and more.

The film opens in theaters nationwide starting today.
