Family Friendly Film

A PG-rated science fiction comedy for all ages, The Visitor from Planet Omicron is a quirky, warm-hearted comedy about an unlikely friendship between a shut-in widow (Frieda) who acts as a foster mother to a wayward young alien (Yorkie). Despite her age, Frieda travels to another planet to confront Yorkie’s alien’s boss; a corporate villain.

Featuring Golden Globe Winner Sally Kirkland

The independent film features Oscar nominated Sally Kirkland in a major role. Women are empowered to achieve new heights at any age. Omicron’s lively, broad comedy gives rise to wild, campy space costumes, visits by handsome young aliens, cute alien Omicronians (Moira Cue,) and fiery-eyed, flamboyant, fascist governors, all put in their places by a gutsy widow from Arizona.

A Strong Female Driven Cast

Omicron challenges the male-dominated science fiction genre. Frieda Cloiselle, played by Hogan’s Heroes’ Inge Jaklin, is a shut-in senior and widow who breaks out of her shell to help the young alien thwart his evil boss. Inge Jaklin, who in real life was Miss Austria 1962, plays Frieda, a widow who confronts the alien’s evil boss head-on. Omicron’s conniving Grand Potentate, played by actor Tom Tangen, has eyes that breathe fire, and has intimidated his entire planet into submission.
