Peter (Matthew August Jeffers) is an introverted New Yorker with dwarfism who prefers to hide from the world inside his apartment.
An unexpected visit from his upbeat, eccentric neighbor Winona (Sarah Hay) forces Peter out of his shell and onto an impromptu road trip. Their destination? What she believes to be the site of an upcoming alien visitation in the wilderness of rural Canada.
From first-time feature director Juan Felipe Zuleta, Unidentified Objects is a delightful and darkly funny indie comedy, following the odd couple’s increasingly surreal odyssey – during which they encounter bickering lesbian cosplayers, mushroom-addled survivalists and even extraterrestrial highway cops.
The further these two go, and the more their trauma comes to light, the clearer it becomes that the only thing scarier than being abducted by aliens is being alone in the universe.
Featuring terrific performances from lead actors Jeffers and Hay, Unidentified Objects is supremely entertaining and full of surprises, marking Zuleta as a filmmaker worth keeping an eye on.
