Earth To Echo
Earth To Echo “A light-hearted sci-fi tale with all
  the hallmarks of the classic genre,
  Earth To Echo is the story of an
  exhilarating journey of a lifetime by
  three teenaged boys with a strong
  sense of justice setting out to rescue
  an alien in distress who is being
  hunted down by callous security
  guards working for a mysterious
  construction company...”

FACED WITH MOVING FROM THEIR HOMES when a new freeway is being built right through the middle of the housing development, three young teenaged boys film their last week together, frustrated that, as close and loyal friends, they are being separated from each other.

With construction of the road apparently underway, best friends Tuck Simms (Astro Bradley), Reginald "Munch" Barrett (Reese Hartwig) and Alex Nicholson (Ted Halm) want to make the most of their time together. When their home telephones go haywire, the construction company claim it is down to an electrical fault; but then the three boys start receiving strange, encoded messages on their cell phones.

“Earth To Echo…
A fantastically
mesmerising, magical
and absorbing light-
hearted teen adventure
with superb special
effects.
Tremendous fun,
cute and enjoyable for
the whole family...”
Intrigued and desperate for an adventure, the boys set off on their bikes in search of the source, into the Nevada desert. Having lied to their parents, who believe them to be safely at their friend's house, they are alone and vulnerable. They are about to make a mind-blowing discovery that is as exciting as it is frightening.

Having been joined by schoolfriend Emma (Ella Wahlestedt), the youngsters quickly realise that the construction site is not what it seems and that the workmen are digging for something that may be connected to the strange messages they have received.

Facing danger from the sinister and menacing construction workers, who are out to stop the friends discovering their secret and are determined to find the being from another world they believe is hiding nearby.

The kids cause havoc as they search to find the things the alien needs to repair himself and get back to his own planet. More surprises are in store as they refuse to give in to the authorities and instead bravely hold out to help their new friend.

What is hidden below Mulberry Woods? And will the youngsters complete their mission before the authorities close in? A fantastically mesmerising, magical and absorbing light-hearted teen adventure with superb special effects. Tremendous fun, cute and enjoyable for the whole family.
