The Direct: “What sets it apart from every other sci-fi film out there?”

I just think that we made a movie at a certain price point.

That was the right price point for the movie, and that’s gratifying.

And I think in this movie you’ll definitely get that.

Eric B. Fleischman: We wanted to ensure that the film was authentic.

And there’s, you just get sick the entire time.

Jess, the director, had bronchitis the entire movie.
