Part 1:  Another Earth actress and co-writer Brit Marling talks with author Elizabeth Licorish

Part 2: Another Earth director Mike Cahill and actress Brit Marling talk with author Elizabeth Licorish

Author Elizabeth Licorish sat down with the filmmakers to discuss their Sundance Film Festival award winning film Another Earth.  Marling and Cahill were in Philadelphia last week for a packed screening of their film at the Franklin Institute.  

Another Earth Synopsis:  Rhoda Williams (Marling), a business student at MIT, is driving when she sees a planet and leans out for a closer look. She hits a minivan and kills a family. She is imprisoned for four years, and upon release seeks out the widower of the family, composer John Burroughs (Mapother). The planet she saw is a mirror planet of Earth, seemingly to the extent that it even has the same people on it, and an essay contest is held where the winner can ride a space shuttle to visit it. Williams considers the possibility of visiting it to find out what kind of life her mirror self would have led.

The film opens in theaters through distributor Fox Searchlight this fall.
