(Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same world-premiered in the “Park City At Midnight” section at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. It opens for a one-week theatrical run at the reRun Gastropub in New York City on Friday, January 6, 2012. Visit the film’s official website to learn more.)
“I have to make it clear that I hate all dramas,” Madeleine Olnek told me in an interview the other day. “I think making dramas is immoral, if you are capable of making a comedy.”
Olnek is a New Yorker who writes and directs comedy films. Plays too. As she’s predominantly worked in the short film arena up to this point, her cinematic talents have been under-appreciated. Her Sundance-vetted shorts, Hold Up and Countertransference, are replete with an original sense of humor and the kinds of completely unpredictable, fully New York, totally pathological characters who inadvertently impose their insanity on everyone around them.

Madeleine Olnek is an indie filmmaker based in New York. She has directed a number of award winning short films and now she is making her feature film debut with Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same. Previous films of hers, including Hold Up and Countertransference were chosen as official selections of the Sundance film festival in past years. At this year's Sundance Film Festival, Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same, will make its debut on January 24th. In honour of the film, we thought we would take some time to talk to Madeleine and ask her about the movie.

Today, programmers announcedwill see the premieres of My Idiot Brother, starring Zooey Deschanel and Rashida Jones as girlfriends; Becoming Chaz, a documentary following Chaz Bono's transition; and Kaboom, Greg Arraki's sci-fi thriller featuring a main lesbian character, Stella, played by Haley Bennett. (It won the Queer Palms Award at Cannes two years ago, but this is its Us premiere.)
