You know, I feel like storytelling is such a powerful tool, but not when it hits you over the head.

And I felt like the movie is so subtly around about climate.

You know what I mean?

It's like you got to look a little and people aren't going to be bludgeoned by it.

I think about like, you know, when you go to the zoo, people are like, why do they have zoos?

Well, they have zoos so you can fall in love with the animals and then you want to take care of them.

It's like my dream was like to make this movie that was a love letter to the planet and cut, brought to you by the Directors Guild of America.

In this episode, romance complicates a young man's out-of-this-world plans in director

Kyra Sedgwick's sci-fi romantic comedy, space oddity.

The film tells the story of Alex, who bewilders his family after giving up on life on Earth

and training for a one-way

trip to Mars. But an unexpected romance may force him to choose between an uncertain journey

to the stars or an even more uncertain journey of the heart. Space Oddity is Sedgwick's

theatrical feature film debut. Her other directorial credits include the movie for television,

Girls Weekend, and episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Ray Donovan, and Grace and Frankie. She was nominated

for a DGA Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Movies for Television and miniseries

for her 2017 film, Story of a Girl.

Following a screening of the film at the DGA Theater in New York,

Sedgewick spoke with director Bennett Miller about filming space oddity.

Listen on for their spoiler-filled conversation.

Hello, everybody. Hello, everybody.

Hello, everybody.
