Snatchers
Snatchers is an upcoming sci-fi comedy currently doing its rounds at the Brooklyn Internation Film Festival where it is up for Best Narrative Feature. It is written by Guy Patton (Pearl: The Assassin, Hustlas) and is directed by John Kingman (Crime Scene, The Gumshoe Diaries).
A rough-hewn Mennonite witnesses a meteor rip apart the skies on his farm, leaving behind a smoking crater filled with glowing corn husks. A lesbian couple unknowingly distributes the corn to unsuspecting Brooklynites through their food truck. An FDA agent with FBI dreams tries to track down a mysterious pod he’s only seen on Instagram. A woman in the midst of a late-20’s crisis is cleaning toilets when she starts noticing her co-workers changing. Each of them has a key to the puzzle. But can they figure out a way to stop an alien invasion before it’s too late? Or will they, too, succumb to the pods’ alluring glow? And how will they tell the difference between a Snatcher and a regular Brooklyn weirdo?
Snatchers stars Brielle Cotelo (The Creeper’s Curse), Jonathan Fernandez (Lethal Weapon series, Catching Up, Bull), Bridget Fitzgerald (Pearl: The Assassin, The Admin), Basel Daoud (Taken, Righteous Sinner) and Samantha Evans (Kombucha Catch-Up, Ghost Girl).
