Sci Fi London 2023 (31st May - 6th June) is into 'Day 3' of our @EchoChamberFP coverage!.
And it's another day with Premieres of interesting indie flicks!
'Ozma' is written & directed by Keith John Adams. After enduring yet another sleepless night plagued by the weight of his wife's absence, Jeff (Ferdy Roberts), an insomniac tormented by grief, stumbles upon a peculiar alien creature (Eva Magyar) reminiscent of a jellyfish in the alley adjacent to his residence. Astonishingly, this otherworldly being establishes a telepathic connection with Jeff, imploring him to aid in its concealment from menacing pursuers.
'The Warm Season' is directed by Janet Grillo and written by Adam Seidel. It's 1967 and 12 year-old Clive (Mia Akemi Brown) is playing in the New Mexican desert, when a man mysteriously appears before her. His name is Mann (Michael Esparza), he's from another planet which is dying, and he's searching for a new place for his kind to live. He hands her a glowing orb, asks her to hide it and promises he'll be back. Now it's 25 years later and Clive's (Carie Kawa) still waiting, struggling to keep the motel afloat and her aging mother, Carlene (Cynthia Mace), alive. Her husband, Mitch (Daniel Dorr), urges Clive to sell the motel, restart their life and revive their love. But Clive is holding onto the secret and the stone, too stuck in the past to pull herself into the future. And then Mann returns.
