Another Earth is a film co-written and directed by Mike Cahill, who also directed the 2007 documentary Boxers and Ballerinas. Another Earth is a science fiction movie about the discovery of a parallel universe. This movie was filmed in Connecticut. Scenes were shot in numerous different parts of the state, including different parts of New Haven, a local home in Hamden, and a scene was filmed at the high school in West Haven. Director Mike Cahill relies on strong dialogue and storytelling rather than using flashy special effects. He uses a technique called verite to capture real moments. Verite often involves handheld cameras and realistic dialogue. The style is reminiscent of the kind of techniques used in documentary making. The movie stars co-writer Brit Marling, William Mapother, and Diane Ciesla. California Chronicle IMDB entry about Another Earth
