Storyline
Two childhood friends, Donnie and Simon go to a famous alien abduction spot to camp overnight and hopefully capture evidence of a real UFO, a yearly tradition the two have done ever since the start of high school. Yet this year things are different as Simon has been hiding a secret from his best friend during the whole trip, he's been planning to move out to university and leave Donnie behind.
Of course nothing goes to plan and Donnie discovers Simon's secret, This tests the limits of the two boy's friendship to a breaking point but when all seems lost a beam of green light descends on the friends and Donnie gets abducted by the same UFO he's been chasing all these years.

Description Simon is that one smart friend, he's a bit reserved and doesn't always show his true feelings immediately, he prefers spending his time working on projects rather than relaxing. Unlike his friend, Simon has become more skeptical of Donnie's crazy theories, yet despite considering Donnie immature at times he still deeply cares for his friend, he has just grown more mature compared to Donnie. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Donnie | Male 18 - 23 Years old |
Description Donnie is energetic and aloof, despite his age he's still a child at heart and is always trying to make his friend Simon laugh or get on his same level of energy over his ideas and theories. He has a love for conspiracy theories, believes most things at face value and he still thinks that Bigfoot and other cryptids are real. Unlike his friend, Donnie still thinks him and Simon are on the same wavelength and hasn't caught up to Simon's disinterest in his immature antics.You will have to put on a wig and dress towards the end of the film given that this is Donnie's plan to attract the Aliens. | ||
