‘Aporia’ Director Jared Moshe On His Emotional New Sci-Fi Film

Aporia

Sci-fi films are often thought of as epic tales of intergalactic battles, spaceships, and terrifying extraterrestrial life. But, director Jared Moshe took a different, more grounded approach in his new film Aporia, which premiered at this year’s edition of the Fantasia Film Festival. Instead of CGI space fights and aliens, Moshe opted for a quieter story about time travel, love, and ethical dilemmas.

Read the full synopsis below:

Since losing her husband Mal in a drunk-driving accident, Sophie has struggled to manage crippling grief, a full-time job, and the demands of parenting her devastated teenage daughter. When her husband’s best friend, a former physicist, reveals he has been building a time-bending machine that could restore her former life, Sophie will be faced with an impossible choice — and unforeseeable consequences, posing the question “If you had the ability to alter the past, would you?”

Dread Central spoke with Moshe about making grounded sci-fi, working with Judy Greer, and more.
