This film has no dialogue. Other than music, the only sounds in the film are the creatures' guttural noises and background sounds.
Filming took over a year at the studios of the Colorado Film School.
This short is part of a planned feature film, currently in development.
Being that this was a student film, many crew members doubled or even tripled up on duties. Also, since there were no fees for equipment & studio rental, and crew, the bulk of the $3,000 budget was used on production design and the construction of the puppets.
If you look closely during the 'Mission Control' sequence, you will notice the iconic stick that the Collywobbles worship is reflected in the design of the rocket ship.
