Earthlings in Love began as a social-media microdrama, director Ueda Shinichiro says

At the 39th Tokyo International Film Festival, director Ueda Shinichiro said Earthlings in Love grew out of a 30-episode microdrama made for social media, which accounts for its vertical frame. He said the budget was equivalent to a regular independent film, according to Variety. The panel took place 28 October at Tokyo Midtown Hibiya.
