First SXSW trailer for Earthling is silent, haunting

JoBloJoBlo

SXSW is about a month away, and we’re starting to get glimpses of what we’re going to be seeing there. One project catching eyes is Clay Liford’s EARTHLING, a low-budget indie sci-fi flick that has echoes of MOON in it.

The plot is a bit strange, but certainly sounds intriguing. A group of people wake up after an atmospheric event with the realization that they’re not human at all, but aliens. They then must decide whether to keep living a lie given this new information, or use it to try and find a way back home.

Check out the rather beautiful, but exceptionally cryptic trailer below. Would you really have ANY idea what the hell this movie was about had I not given you that description?
