They're Here

Daniel Claridge, Pacho Velez United States 2024 74 min.

A light-hearted, quirky film about people who are convinced they have encountered aliens. With great empathy, genuine curiosity and light-hearted disbelief, the filmmakers listen to ‘witnesses’ talk candidly about their experiences, which are brought onto the screen in creative ways. 

"It's not a big deal if you don't believe me - I accept that," Cookie says to the camera as the interview ends. She claims that she has already been abducted by aliens 14 times. Metalworker Steve also believes he was abducted as a child and is trying to cope in his own way. Dave made the local news with a video of an alleged alien ship, and stand-up comedian Twon can't wait to also be abducted. Their belief creates a common bond that seems stronger than any form of disbelief they encounter.
