A bold new entry in sci-fi cinema, The Infinite Husk stars Peace Ikediuba as Vel, an exiled alien consciousness sent to Earth on a perilous mission.
When Vel crash-lands in Los Angeles, she is forced to inhabit the body – or “husk” – of a young Black woman, and her journey quickly transcends espionage to become an existential exploration of identity, emotion, and the human condition.
Also starring in the noir-tinged sci-fi thriller are Circus-Szalewski, Geena Alexandra, William Thomas Jones, Jyl Haruye Kineshiro, Gary Lee Reed, Foreste Jean Feely, Michael Jon Murphy, Smaran Harihar, Andrea Boyer, Tracie Lopez, Jon Pedroche, Zack Silverstein, Danny Bias, Saskia Baur, and Spencer Frankeburger.
The Infinite Husk, the striking feature debut from writer-director Aaron Silverstein, first captured attention during its World Premiere at the 2025 South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival, and continued to build international buzz with screenings at the Sitges Film Festival in Spain and SXSW Sydney.
It is slated to open in theaters in early 2026, with a limited theatrical release set for February 6, 2026, before expanding into a digital release in March via distributor Chroma.
The Infinite Husk follows Vel, an alien consciousness exiled from her own world and forced into the unexpected ordeal of inhabiting a human body in Los Angeles. Originally sent to spy on a fellow extraterrestrial, Mauro, Vel’s mission becomes complicated as she experiences firsthand the joys, sorrows, sensory chaos, and deeply human emotions of life on Earth. As she navigates the crowded, neon-drenched streets and the opaque interplay of human intention, Vel’s assignment morphs into a deeper existential inquiry: what does it truly mean to be human when every moment is fraught with contradiction, connection, and danger?
