1. Jules Verne suggested that a main difference that exists within the sci-fi genre is that some stories
“were built around tested and proven science” while others “were more fantasy”. Would you
consider your film to be a work that is built on realism or fantasy?
2. When designing aliens, some filmmakers rely upon image while others infuse their extra
terrestrials with symbolic value. Neil Blomkamp, director of District 9 wanted viewers to have an
immediate reaction to seeing the aliens, “I thought with the aliens, you’d think, ‘I don’t want to
sit next to that on the bus, they look insane, they look barbaric… And that’s why their design
reflects that. They are gross.” While with 2001: A Space Odyssey, Stanley Kubrick decided that
when it comes to his aliens, “What we’re really dealing with here is, in fact, a scientific definition
of God.” Does your film primarily focus on the use of image and design when representing the
alien (or zombies – shout out to 28 Days Later!), or does it focus on the symbolic value of what
they represent?
3. Finally, does your film offer an optimistic or pessimistic vision of the future?
