Me and The Spaceman — a Q&A with Eric Elliott

A grieving mother follows a mysterious spaceman on a search for a missing rocket ship — a journey that slowly becomes a way of facing the loss of her young son. This Newfoundland sci-fi drama blends family warmth with cosmic imagery to tell a story about letting go.

Large snowfall the day before filming. We had to roll anyways.
