With their mom serving as producer, three award-winning brothers will be filming two short films in West Chester, PA and White Clay Creek Preserve this week.

Alien Communications, a short, coming of age, sci-fi romantic comedy will be filmed in White Clay Creek Preserve in Southern Chester County, PA. GUMBALL, a dramatic short film told without the use of dialog will be filming at DK Diner in West Chester, PA. The Theorin trio, two 16-year-old twins (Kris and Nik) and their 21-year-old brother (Kurtis) will be on location August 20-24th.

The films, filming back to back have brought together a cast and crew of both recognized local actors and newcomers. Alien Communications lead actress Evangeline Young (17) has appeared as a recurring guest star on CBS's The Good Wife.

Newcomers Luke Baxter (16) and Olivia Dalessandro (17) round out the casts. Renowned production designer Nicholas Van Strander created the alien probe droid that will be used in one of the films.

Alien Communications is a coming of age comedy about two teenagers with unrequited feelings for each other investigating an alien machine that has crashed to Earth.

As the awkwardness between the two escalates the machine starts to investigate on its own to figure out the unknown emotion that they are demonstrating.

GUMBALL follows one night in the life of a rebellious young woman who breaks into a diner after hours with a can of spray paint. Her intentions change after she ends up discovering what's left of a love story.

The young directors hope to replicate or surpass the success of their last short film Retreat which screened at film festivals around the world this year including their most recent showing this weekend at the famous Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood.
