Sundance 2011: First Teaser For Madeleine Olnek's CODEPENDENT LESBIAN SPACE ALIEN SEEKS SAME
If Ed Wood were a New York City lesbian he'd have been a happy man. And, also, he may very well have made a film like Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same. But he wasn't and he didn't and so Madeleine Olnek has gone and done it instead. Soon to premiere at Sundance, here's how the big fest describes it:

Three lesbian aliens are sent to Earth. Their mission? To have their hearts broken by earthlings so their overactive emotions won't destroy the ozone of their planet. As the fetching extraterrestrials search for romance on the New York lesbian dating scene, one finds love with Jane, an eager stationery store clerk who is oblivious to the fact that she's dating an alien. The other two, discovering the neediness of earthling women, connect with each other as they reflect on the beauty of a cheesecake in a revolving dessert case.

Tightly scripted with lo-fi styling and campy DIY effects that would make Ed Wood envious, Codependent mashes up the B-movie and Men in Black and turns it into a witty, wholly original comedy. First-time feature writer/director Madeleine Olnek (her shorts Hold Up and Countertransference screened at the Festival in 2006 and 2009, respectively) embraces the intrinsic hilarity of lesbian life and DIY filmmaking to tell a story about love that transcends galaxies.
The first teaser for this one has freshly arrived on the scene, check it out below.
