Meet The Thradons! J.D. Austin

Brilliant young film-maker Bobby Albertson found the love of his life, a beautiful blonde who's out of this world - literally! Sent to Earth to escape her enemies on the planet Thradon, Kathy was cared for by Bobby's parents. True love - and special effects - conquered all when she and Bobby got engaged and his independent film career took off like a rocket. Now, Kathy's taking her beloved, his parents and a few of their friends back home to meet her dearest and dearest. The Earthlings already know that Thradon, centuries ahead of Earth in everything else, lags behind in popular culture. So they've brought along some wonderful things such as popcorn, Shakespeare, golf and film-making. But Bobby's grand plan to write, produce and direct the first-ever Thradon big-screen blockbuster are thrown into development hell when life imitates art and aliens invade planet Thradon.
