In 2065, Earth is plagued by toxic air and extreme weather. At a remote gas station in Nowheresville, California, shopkeeper Hiro, stranded traveler Tonya, and gruff trucker Ron clash in a heated altercation. When an emergency broadcast warns of extraterrestrial craft overhead—and a bleeding stranger stumbles in off the street—the group must decide whether to trust the approaching beings or prepare for a fight that could alter the fate of the universe.
Filmmaker Bio: Ifeanyi Ezieme is a DGA Award-winning filmmaker based in Altadena, California. From teaching himself animation in grade school to directing his first short film at age 12, Ifeanyi’s curiosity for visual storytelling led him to the University of Southern California, where he graduated as a George Lucas Scholar in film and television production. His films have screened at Oscar-qualifying festivals including the Pan African Film Festival and LA Shorts International Film Festival. Ifeanyi has also collaborated with companies such as Toyota, Varo and ColorCreative through Issa Rae’s “Find Your People” program. The success of his work is rooted in bridging the gap between people who are seemingly unalike, a reflection of his childhood experience of trying to find a home for his complicated identity.
