Two Harbors

Vic's days are filled with selling sci-fi collectibles, harassing his fellow antique dealers, and trying to communicate with extraterrestrials.  The latter activity is singularly unsuccessful until the day he meets a mysterious young woman, Cassie.  Vic becomes convinced that extraterrestrials are keenly interested in Cassie, and he sets out to prove it, with shocking results.  Based on a true story.

Reviews

Two Harbors Wins Eight Awards at Twenty-four Festivals Critical praise for James “Incredible.” - Best Feature award statement, the Eugene Film Festival
“Funny, haunting and nimble, Vculek’s film belies its humble roots with gorgeous B&W digital video, excellent music by Paul Johnson, and some extraordinary performances by a select handful of the Twin Cities’ finest actors.” – Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival program
"Two Harbors is an unusual, engaging and ultimately beautiful expression." - The Minnesota Daily
"A remarkable performance by Alex Cole anchors this strange and subtle tale." - Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival program.
"The film employs a bleak black-and-white ambience to tease out the inscrutable despair beneath little lives spent in a little place, applying moments of humor and sweetness to make it a uniquely genre-ignoring exercise." – Minneapolis City Pages
"A darkly comic love story involving junk stores and extraterrestrials [that] takes two or three weird hairpin turns from realistic comedy to surreal humor to tragedy. The performances are stellar. Alex Cole, the lead actor, is phenomenal, and his co-star, Catherine E. Johnson, is great with him." – Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"Two Harbors took the top prize because it had the strongest writing and acting." - Minnesota Film Arts executive and festival director Jamie Hook.
"A clever, understated film." Michael Nordskog, southofthetaiga.blogspot.com
