FROM OTHER WORLDS

There goes the Solar System.

"Witty and sincere ... I thoroughly enjoyed it" - Jonathan Demme

" 'From other Worlds' deftly combines both [drama and sci-fi] in a most creative way. Buono fashions a fine performance as Joanne, just trying to live, taking each clue as it comes, even if she seems crazy" - Film Threat

"Joanna (Cara Buono, in a charming lead performance) can't be sure if her depression is nothing but the blues, or may have something to do with visions of alien abductions straight out of "The X-Files." - Variety

From the writer of MARRIED TO THE MOB ...

Joanne Schwartzbaum, a stressed-out mom from Brooklyn is (or is she?) abducted by aliens and returned to her home. A series of bizarre coincidences leads her to join forces with another supposed abductee, Abraham, an immigrant from the Ivory Coast who believes in Joanne’s story. As the plot quickly thickens, Strugatz’s light touch allows the characters to grow and breathe, revealing a story more about family and our responsibility to our fellow man than about aliens and UFO’s. A quirky comedy about misfits trying to save the human race, From Other Worlds proves that you don’t have to be a hero to act heroically.
