One of my favorite films from 2019 is an animated French feature called I Lost My Body, about hand that runs off from a lab and a guy who encounters it. I was delighted to discover that the filmmaker behind I Lost My Body, named Jérémy Clapin, already has a new science fiction film finished and ready. His latest film is titled Meanwhile on Earth, also known as Pendant ce temps sur Terre in French, and it premiered at the 2024 Berlin Film Festival in the Panorama section.

A young singer on the verge of super-stardom, and the brink of a breakdown, must shake her demons before they derail her dreams and ruin the finale of her sellout tour. Starring Becky Bush as Sky, with Celi Crossland & Pedro Leandro. The film is an intimate look at the opposite side of stardom, the pressure and intensity of fame and how hard it can be on artists. While many are familiar with this (thanks to the stories about musicians like Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse) this film puts ...
