Jonah

[Played as part of the 14th annual Twin Cities Film Festival that runs Oct. 19-28 at the Showplace ICON Theaters and Kitchen at The Shops at West End; for more information, log on to www.twincitiesfilmfest.org.] When a distressed mother (Alaina Huffman) with possible ulterior motives believes her traumatized, prophecy-spouting son (Lincoln Huffman) was abducted by aliens and returned a paraplegic in Ben Van Kleek's quirky, multilayered, well-acted, surprising, 89-minute sci-fi thriller, she ultimately contacts a wary, skeptical journalist (Osric Chau) and his cameraman (Ken Kirby) who specializes in the supernatural to investigate, and when he interviews the child over several days, they create an unusual connection as his own repressed memories rise to the surface.
