Alex Lehmann - Acidman

The Jan Price Show

Co-Writer, Producer & Director Alex Lehmann discusses with Jan Price his new sci-fi drama, "Acidman," starring Thomas Haden Church and Dianna Agron!

"Acidman" is available to watch in Theaters and via On Demand!

Maggie (Dianna Agron) arrives at a small, run-down house in the middle of nowhere to find it defaced by big orange letters reading ACIDMAN and learns that this is the locals' nickname for her reclusive father (Thomas Haden Church). After a decade apart, Maggie's offhand explanation for her visit is that she just wanted to check in on him, but this doesn't ring true, considering how difficult he was to find. After Dad reluctantly brings her on one of his nighttime outings, Maggie realizes that his obsession with UFOs and communicating with extraterrestrial beings have only intensified over the years. While sharing her life-changing news, she struggles to understand him, his single-mindedness, and his deteriorating mental health. Letting their relationship ebb and flow through anger, silly jokes, tender gestures, and sadness, the film is a beautiful meditation on the cyclical nature of parenthood and the longing for connection.
