Do you love aliens, love, and body horror? Well, we have exciting news for you! This week, Yellow Veil Pictures announced the acquisition of worldwide rights for Zach Clark’s (Little Sister) genre-bending comedy The Becomers.
The Becomers tells the story of a body-snatching alien who comes to Earth, reconnects with their partner, and tries to find their way in modern America.
“During the pandemic, I binged the original Star Trek series for the first time and then I made this movie,” Clark said of The Becomers. “It felt like life as we knew it was ending, but then again, it also felt like that might not be the worst thing either. The Becomers is a story of love, longing, and alienation. A kitsch-soaked, pathos-laden melodrama about our sad, sad planet. It’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever made and I can’t think of anyone better than Yellow Veil to get it out into the universe.”
Joe Yanick, Co-Founder of Yellow Veil Pictures added, “I’ve long admired Zach’s films and it’s especially fun to see him dive even further into the genre space with The Becomers, which is something his films have always circled. The Becomers is funny, weird, and at times gross, but what I like best is that it’s a very relatable movie about love; and I think that’s a place where some of the best genre films emerge from. “
Clark wrote, directed, and edited The Becomers. It was produced by Joe Swanberg (Digging for Fire), and Edwin Linker (Saint Frances) of Slasher Films.
Molly Plunk (Little Sister), Mike Lopez (All Jacked Up and Full of Worms), Frank V. Ross (Drinking Buddies), Isabel Alamin, and Keith Kelly star in the film. It also features the voice Russell Mael, lead singer of the explosive pop-rock band Sparks.
