That Alien, Sound

About This Movie

Brando Topp’s debut feature, 'That Alien, Sound,' is an oddball mix of romance and sci-fi comedy that really plays with gender and identity. The central premise—a woman becoming a conduit for an alien sound wave—sounds quirky, and it is, but it digs into some thoughtful themes about acceptance and community. The pacing has a laid-back, almost playful vibe, making it feel like a conversation you’d have with a buddy over coffee. The practical effects are charming in their simplicity, which adds to the film's offbeat atmosphere. The performances are sincere, especially the boyfriend trying to navigate this bizarre situation. It's not your typical alien flick; there's a warmth underneath the silliness that makes it stand out.
