The 2010 SXSW Fest is just about a month away, and as usual they have a great lineup planned for you. But never mind the big names, the real quest for any film fan at a festival like this is to take a chance on some smaller films to find those tucked-away gems. Hopefully a case in point, director/writer/producer/editor Clay Liford’s Earthling.
The indie flick is about a group of people who wake up after a weird atmospheric event to find out that their whole lives have been a lie. They’re not human at all, they’re aliens- and now they’ve got to decide whether to keep living their lie or try to find a way back home.
They have this haunting, strangely beautiful trailer for the film. Check it out and wish more films were teased this way.
They have another trailer hitting the net soon, but for now check out their official website for more on the film. If you attend SXSW this year, you lucky bastard, you can catch its world premiere under the Narrative Features Competition.

Was kinda ambivalent until… well, yeah. Everyone looks so friggin dour.
Man, I WISH I could wake up and be told me whole life was a lie. Especially the whole 'life in prison' part, that was bullshit.
This isn't the film about animal abuses?
Yes, it's great when a teaser shows you just enough to interest you… of course that whole "tease" bit is ruined when the article you're reading tells you the overall plot of the film before you even realize what's happening. Thanks, Alex! Nice work!
Did you do that on purpose, to be ironic? If so, in the future: don't.
Yeah, seems like they stole the plot from "Amazing Stories".. there was an episode about people living as humans… who then eventually find out they are not aliens, and have to travel back to their home world…. I assume Devin will blast this like he did JC for Avatar when he accused them of copying old literary work…. but on second thought, I won't hold my breathe
Yeah can you imagine going into this movie knowing absolutely nothing about it? Of course, knowing a little bit about it might make the concept easier to swallow as it looks like it takes itself very seriously.
looks like a shot-on-video sci-fi chick flick.
that teaser was lame.
WILLIAM KATT!!
Spoiler Rage? Really? Seriously, where are you cunts coming from? Did AICN block a whole heap of IP addresses or something?
Should this have been called Cylon?
