Synopsis

A collage of found footage, sound fragments and speculative narration, For My Alien Friend is an experimental film revolving around the protagonist’s repeated attempts to communicate with an outer-space being. What emerges is a meandering meditation on contemporary politics, religion, relationships, and even food.
