Will Forte, Elizabeth Mitchell, Emma Tremblay Jacob Buster Talk Aliens Abducted My Parents

Jake Van Wagoners second feature film, Aliens Abducted My Parents and Now I Kinda Feel Left Out, made its debut at Sundance this year, and introduced festivalgoers to Itsy (played by Emma Tremblay), a teen girl starting the school year in a new town. Harboring big dreams to one day work for the New York Times, Itsy believes this new start in a small town may be the end of her world as she knows it. When a friend suggests she enter a writing contest, Itsy s world does change, but for the better. Based on a screenplay by Austin Everett, Aliens Abducted My Parents doesnt maintain the typical comingofage tropes for long. Hoping to cement her escape to NYC, Itsy decides to do an exposé on the towns oddball, Calvin (Jacob Buster), whose fixation on outer space weirds out his peers. As it turns out, Calvin believes his parents, played by Elizabeth Mitchell and Will Forte, were abducted by aliens when he was a child, and hes holding onto the hope that hell reconnect with them again someday.
