Brilliantly Made Intense Sci-Fi Short - THE LANDING

I've got an awesome sci-fi short thriller for you all to watch today called "The Landing." The story follows a man who "returns to the Midwestern farm of his childhood on a desperate mission to unearth the horrifying truth of what landed there in the summer of 1960." Most of the film is set in the 1960s and it recounts the story of the man's terrifying experience as a kid. The film was directed by Josh Tanner for Perception Pictures, and it's truly a fantastic and brilliant piece of filmmaking that you have to take the time to watch.
