The video features Oscar nominee Riz Ahmed as he portrays a father determined to save his sons from an extraterrestrial threat disguised as bugs that invade people’s bodies.
This marks the latest collaboration between Ahmed and Amazon Studios, after working together in last year’s acclaimed drama Sound of Metal which won two Oscars for Best Sound and Best Film Editing.
Joining Ahmed are Oscar winner Octavia Spencer (The Shape of Water), Rory Cochrane (Argo), Lucian-River Chauhan (Heartland), and newcomer Aditya Geddada.
Encounter is directed by UK filmmaker Michael Pearce from a screenplay he co-wrote with Joe Barton.
