The Becomers, a genre-bending comedy about a body-snatching alien who comes to Earth and tries to find love in the modern world, will make its world premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival.

The film is written, directed, and edited by Zach Clark (Little Sister) and stars Molly Plunk, Mike Lopez, Frank V. Ross, Isabel Alamin, and Keith Kelly. It also features the voice of Russell Mael, lead singer of the explosive pop-rock band Sparks.

The Becomers is a “kitsch-soaked, pathos-laden melodrama about our sad, sad planet,” according to Clark. It is a funny, grotesque, and weird blend of genres that reflects the challenges of the real world through its pointedly chaotic portrayal of society.

The film’s striking aliens were designed by celebrated horror, creature, and science fiction FX artists Brian Spears and Pete Gerner.

The Becomers makes its world premiere on Saturday, July 22, and have a repeat screening Thursday, July 27 at the Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal, Quebec. Stay tuned for additional screenings, distribution, and release announcements as they arrive.
