On the fateful day intelligent life arrives to destroy Earth, one slacker alien gets sidetracked when he becomes smitten with a bitter barista. Now the survival of humankind depends on whether this space-schmuck can get her number -- before his plucky partner blows us Earthlings sky high. HIGHER GROUNDS is a sci-fi comedy that takes an orbital view of life on Earth.
This short sci-fi film from Joe Kramer is an Official Selection in the Spooktacular Film Fest for Horror & Sci-Fi.
