Emily Carmichael is back with a new sci-fi short film titled, “Stryka.” Starring Aimee Mullins and Rupert Friend, the comedy is set in futuristic Brooklyn and takes a look at the inner life of a reptile alien thief.
The film starts with Stryka (Mullins) in a therapy session, talking about her partner Callen (Friend) and how she is searching for more opportunities. She expresses that she’s been stealing and working with another thief and is too scared to tell him. As she starts planning a new scheme with her new partner in crime Peterson (John Behlmann), she finds herself torn between the two guys since they both want to execute their plans at the same time.
