Writer/director Aaron Silverstein makes his feature debut with
sci-fi mindbender The Infinite Husk. The film stars Peace Ikediuba as Vel, an alien who is exiled from her planet and
imprisoned in the body of a human woman on Earth. To earn a return home,
Vel is asked to spy on Mauro (Circus-Szalewski), another exiled being.
The Infinite Husk premieres at the SXSW Film Festival in
March.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
An exiled extraterrestrial consciousness known on Earth as Vel, did something forbidden in her other-worldly home, something so unspeakable that a God-like entity sent her to the gritty, hostile streets of Los Angeles, imprisoning her in human form - a husk. Her only hope of ever returning home is to accept an impossible assignment: find a fellow exiled being, Mauro, spy on him, uncover his research, and report her findings. Stuck in an unfamiliar and undesirable space, Vel finds this to be no easy task. In her new body, she discovers the joys and sorrows of what it means to be human, all while her target weaves a game of intrigue in the name of a new and very dangerous kind of science.
Desperate to complete a series of increasingly perilous missions, Vel must wrestle with the fate of Mauro’s scientific revelations, life in her husk, and her desperate plea to go home.
