Indie Trailer Sunday: Clay Liford’s Indie Sci-Fi Film Earthling
As a big fan of the sci-fi genre, I usually hunt for every indie sci-fi film I can find, and today we have a new one to introduce to you. CHUD premiered a teaser trailer for a film called Earthling, written and directed by Clay Liford, about a group of people aboard the international space station who discover that the lives they have been living are all a lie. They’re not human, they’re aliens and now they must decide whether to keep on living as men or find a way back home. Just like Duncan Jones’ Moon, I love seeing how much they can accomplish on a limited budget, and this looks great. Looking forward to seeing this as soon as I can.
Watch the first teaser trailer for Clay Liford’s Earthling:
After a mysterious atmospheric occurrence aboard the international space station causes a tragic event, a small group of people wake up to realize that their entire lives have been a lie. They are in fact aliens disguised as humans. Now they have to make a choice: Live amongst men, or try to find a way back home.
Earthling is both written and directed by New York City-born filmmaker Clay Liford, who directed a few comedic short films and was a cinematographer before making his feature directorial debut with this. The film is premiering at the SXSW Film Festival next month, which is where we’ll see some of the first reviews as well. There is also an official website that you can check out by clicking right here. Anyone interested?

at 1:01, did you see the horn, or big ass pimple, coming out of the guys head?
nonetheless, isn’t this supposed to take place on a space station? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I’m always interested in anything sci-fi but the trailer makes you think it’s more of a drama than anything else. Horrible trailer imo.
the story premise and teaser seem to be completely unrelated……………uh, i don’t think that’s how it’s supposed to work.
I loved the trailer. And this premise sounds amazing. Why do we judge films by the trailer? Honestly, I do it too. But why? I try to keep an open mind, and when a trailer is strange, it intrigues me even more to want to see the film. This trailer does it for me. I’m in for this film.
I can’t believe that synopsis and that trailer are for the same movie! The story sounds good but the trailer makes absolutely no sense! That is bad advertising right there!
pretty much the same as everyone else has said, moon is a high standard to compare this to
story looked good, trailer looked horrible.
wow way too much action and they practicley showed the whole movie
**sarcasm**
Easily the worst trailer Ive ever seen holy shit.
that trailer killed it, but I still want to see the film. If anything I’ll see it for Peter Greene, the guy to me is very underrated.
Good trailer. Interesting enough for a low budget sci-fi film. Nice photography, art direction and light. I’m in.
Interesting premise, kinda dull trailer. I’m still curious enough to want to see it.
I have to be honest, I wanted to see this movie just until I saw the trailer.
