EARTHED Trailer

A preview of feature length project EARTHED; a very English science fiction comedy of manners, written and directed by Greig Johnson.

SYNOPSIS:
'Aspiring extraterrestrial reporter Oliver has just two million seconds in which to film an ambitious documentary study of a quiet English town. He is determined to make a name for himself back home and earn the respect of his ailing father, a legend in the field, but the fragmented Cousins family with whom he is lodging - careworn Marion, taciturn David and their two grown children, straitlaced Anna and compulsive Carl - each soon develop their own reasons for wanting him to stay. When his first attempt proves clumsily inept, Oliver must swallow his pride and acknowledge a need for help, but - as a burgeoning collaboration with the lovable but troubled Carl blossoms into friendship - Oliver's very presence catalyses a fundamental, irreversible change at the heart of the family, and he is left with little time and a big decision; what to take home and what to leave behind.'

The short film above is a test demo of Oliver's clumsy first attempt at his assignment.
