  • Zornit

    Film

    This wonderfully trippy film was played during our infamous Secret Screening! The homage to Rod Serling's "The Twilight Zone," the oddly cute Zornit creature, and the story based on King's "The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet," all made this film a perfect fit for closing out the 2018 Festival.

    Synopsis: A sci-fi writer has his life invaded by an alien. Through intense mental control, the creature makes the writer work harder and better, but paranoia and the uncertainty of the limits of reality will be the price to pay.
