One of the most consistently fresh and exciting teams out there, Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (Resolution, Spring, V/H/S: Viral, The Endless, Synchronic) will soon return with brand new movie Something in the Dirt, which is premiering at Sundance this weekend.
The film premieres on Sunday, and an official Sundance preview video today provides us with our first look at the new movie. Additionally, Benson and Moorhead drop some plot details.
“It’s a sort of love letter to Los Angeles,” the duo explains. “And the movie is a mystery, so we don’t want to give away too much. But… generally the movie’s about these two new neighbors – one of them just moved into an apartment… something that might be paranormal or otherworldly happens. And they decide to explore it together.”
They add, “It’s a reaction to, ‘What if you made The X-Files today? How would you do it?’.” They say the film also deals with the “moral duties of a sci-fi writer today.”
Watch the video below and expect more soon.
