Eager for a rare opportunity for a new life on a new planet, a man has only one obstacle to overcome: find his wife.
The trailer for Aleem Hossain's debut feature, After We Leave, looks spare yet inviting, accompanied by an entrancing musical theme and snatches of dialogue that impart an intense tone to the proceedings. Briefly, it "is a gritty sci-fi drama about a man who has a once-in-a-lifetime chance to emigrate off Earth... if only he can find his estranged wife and convince her to come with him."
Brian Silverman stars. Julie Kirkwood served as director of photography. Hossain, Silverman, and Kirkwood produced. Clay Wilcox, Anita Leeman-Torres and Anslem Richardson also star.
After We Leave has already screened at the Other Worlds Austin festival, Berlin Sci-Fi Film Fest, and London Film Fest, and will be screening shortly at Boston Sci-Fi Film Fest in February, as well as opening theatrically in Hollywood at the Arena Cinelounge in Los Angeles from February 21, 2020. More information is available at the official site, where the film can be pre-ordered on iTunes.
