This is one of those films that has such a personal and unique essence that it's hard to describe without quoting the entirety of the narration and what every scene looks like and how they interplay with each other. It starts off as a road trip/vlog kinda thingy into a small town called Roswell that has a local story about a UFO crash. Then close to halfway through it morphs into a transcendental philosophical film. It explores humankind and the inevitable future through the likes of a star-boy (alien) that Bill imagines as the one piloting the UFO that (supposedly) crashed in Roswell. It explores the curiosity of new places and is my first first-hand experience as what it's like to be an alien in a new world, truly. It explores the topics like how time is the real enemy in life and that we don't have to look into the stars to find horrors that we can't explain; for example, "One day time will make every road map in the known universe obsolete and useless, and then we'll all get lost." Really opens your eyes to how insanely clueless we are about the world around us and how long the universe has been around for (and will be, for that fact), doesn't it?. The cinematography is super super fun and beautiful and I loved the stop motion that was dotted throughout the film. Music was more than fitting and pleasant too. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a fun but still meaningful and impressionable film. I'm really starting to like Bill Brown.
