Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Darryl Anka is better known as a channeler who claims to communicate with an extraterrestrial entity named Bashar—making this perhaps cinema's most personally-informed alien romance.
The film quietly subverts 1950s sci-fi tropes where alien women were femme fatales; here Jordan drives the emotional truth while the human men flail.
