    The film, which has now earned an astonishing 103 film festival awards, was originally

    slated for release in January but was respectfully postponed due to the devastating Los

    Angeles fires earlier this year. Roswell Delirium is now officially streaming on Prime

    Video and Apple TV.


    Lauded for its emotionally grounded storytelling, Roswell Delirium Is set in an alternate

    version of the 1980s in the aftermath of nuclear war. At the heart of the film is a deeply

    moving story about a mother and daughter, brought to life by a new generation of talent

    led by 13-year-old breakout star Kylee Levien. Supporting her is a powerful ensemble

    of fresh young talent such as Ashton Solecki, Kayden Tokarski, Georgia MacPhail, and

    Romyn Smith—many of whom rose to prominence on the popular YouTube show Dhar

    Mann Studios—forming a “new Brat Pack.”

    "Roswell Delirium has some Spielberg-like sci-fi elements, but at its heart, it's a moving

    story about a mother and daughter finding each other. Our young cast gave incredible

    performances — we’re so proud of them,” says Hall

    The cast features cameos from Anthony Michael Hall, Dee Wallace, Reginald

    VelJohnson, Lisa Whelchel, and Sam Jones- familiar faces that help anchor the film

    in a 1980s setting, while tackling deeply relevant themes such as trauma, mental health,

    and the fragile bond between a mother and daughter.

    Directed, written, and produced by Richard Bakewell, Roswell Delirium blends retro

    sci-fi adventure with real-world themes of trauma, memory, and family resilience. In an

    alternate 1980s America ravaged by nuclear fallout, young Mayday Malone intercepts

    an intergalactic distress signal on her ham radio, leading her to Spacerock—a

    mysterious site near Area 51. Exposed to lethal radiation, Mayday's health deteriorates

    rapidly. Desperate, her mother returns to Spacerock, hoping alien intervention can save

    her daughter. The film explores themes of trauma, memory, and the unbreakable bond

    between mother and daughter.

    “I wanted to create something that resonates emotionally across generations. It’s a love

    letter to the 80s and centers around the decay of mental illness. Whether you grew up in

    the shadow of the Cold War or are navigating today’s uncertainties, this story is

    ultimately about resilience, imagination, and the people we fight for when everything

    else falls away,” says Bakewell.

    The film’s haunting score was composed by Troy Van Leeuwen, guitarist of Queens of

    the Stone Age, marking his first feature-length score—a debut that has already earned

    two awards for Best Original Music.
