Eleven Eleven (film)
Eleven Eleven is a 2018 American comedy film produced by Joe Gruberman, and written and directed by Chris Redish. Doc Wyatt served as Consulting Producer to providing guidance for this, Redish's first feature-length project. The film stars Charles Baker in the lead role of Tim Faris, a UFO enthusiast who yearns to be abducted by aliens, even at the risk of the happiness of his family life. "Eleven Eleven" premiered at the 2018 Hollywood Boulevard Film Festival, where it won Best Comedy Feature, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress. Plot. Tim Faris (Charles Baker ) is a middle-aged father who lives with a secret. A past sexual encounter with a beautiful alien named Andromeda (Krista Allen) leaves Tim yearning for the opportunity to explore the solar system in an alien spacecraft. In Tim's mind, the only way to do this is to be abducted by aliens. Tim joins a support group called Abductees Anonymous in the hope of finding like-minded individuals, only to find himself surrounded by prior abductees in trauma. Tim's life quickly turns upside down when, after 15 years, Andromeda returns to Earth for a visit. Unbeknownst to Tim , Andromeda's trip includes a secret agenda. Production. Redish shot the film on location in Gilbert and Sedona, Arizona, in December 2013. He used an Arizona-based crew and nearly all of the actors were based in Arizona, with the exception of some key talent: Baker, Allen, Rose and Bogart. "Eleven Eleven" was Redish's debut feature film, and Baker's first leading role. In addition to acquiring Charles Baker, the production also acquired "" star Krista Allen. The film takes place in and around the home of the fictitious Tim and Eve Faris. The majority of interiors were shot in  a rented house in Gilbert, AZ. The production moved to Sedona to shoot all of the exteriors. Interior and exterior shots were then stitched together by strategic camera movement, cutaways, or green screen special effects in exterior doorways. Post-production challenges, including critical visual effects, prevented the movie from being completed until 2018. In 2020, the film was released to non-theatrical distribution by Gravitas Ventures.
