PRESS

"With Earthling, filmmaker Clay Liford delivers a pseudoscience-fiction drama short on detail but heavy on brooding atmosphere." -Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News

"The film is smartly kept small in scope, as the aliens are not publicly outted, nor are they hunted down by scientists or the military." -Seth Freilich, Pajiba

"Strangely beautiful" -Daniel Rodrigue, Dallas Observer

"Earthling pays attention to its characters in a way many sci-fi flicks don’t." -Peter Simek, D Magazine

"Clay Liford defies current science-fiction convention, eschewing rockets, robots and rayguns...to employ a style that emphasizes the story." -Jenn Brown, Slackerwood
