Writer / director Madeleine Olnek’s retro Sci-fi feature Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same premieres at Sundance on Jan. 24.
And the trailer for the whimsical, self-reflective film that projects an Earth Girls are Easy meets John Sayles’ Brother From Another Planet meets anything from classic B-movie director Ed Wood vibe, is out now – complete with a Theremin and cheesy effects.
The film stars Lisa Haas, Susan Ziegler, stand-up comic Jackie Monahan, Cynthia Kaplan, Dennis Davis, Alex Karpovsky and Rae C. Wright. While Codependent Lesbian Space Alien is Olnek’s first feature, her short Hold Up can be viewed online at Logo while Countertransferance will screened online as part of the Sundance Classics at this year’s festival.
Here’s a synopsis for the feature:
Described by Sundance as “a witty, wholly original comedy," the film is about the adventures of lesbian space aliens on the planet Earth, and the story of the romance between Jane, a shy greeting card store employee, and Zoinx, the woman Jane does not realize is from outer space. Meanwhile, two government agents, or 'Men In Black, ' are closely tracking Jane and the aliens while harboring their own secrets.
