What if the past you remember didn\u2019t really happen?
That\u2019s the simple premise of filmmaker Richard Bakewell\u2019s character-driven, science\xa0fiction drama, ROSWELL DELIRIUM, which centers around a young woman who survives\xa0nuclear disaster and alien encounters, only to slowly discover that the events she remembers are\xa0distorted by her traumatic experiences. The result is a powerful and compelling blend of genres,\xa0set against the backdrop of an alternate history of the 1980s.

In \u201cRoswell Delirium\u201d (written, directed, and produced by Bakewell), we witness some\xa0of the key events in the life of the young heroine, Mayday \u201cFirefly\u201d Malone (winningly played\xa0by Kylee Levien as teenaged Mayday, and Ashton Solecki as the grown-up version). Living in\xa0New Mexico in the 1980s, with her emotionally distant father employed by NASA and not\xa0always home, Mayday is obsessed with ham radio and satellite communications. But in 1986,\xa0the US and USSR devolve into nuclear war: rural areas are unscathed but the resulting years of\xa0radiation poisoning mean a new existence where sudden illness, death, and decay become a way\xa0of life. Moving between an older, radiation-sick Firefly as she puts her belief into the healing\xa0powers of the \u201cSpace Rock\u201d at Area 51, and the younger Mayday as the events of the world spin\xa0out of control, the film sees the events of this alt-history through the eyes of a smart, determined\xa0young woman who slowly comes to realize that all is not as she remembers.

With a supporting\xa0cast that includes Anthony Michael Hall, Lisa Whelchel, Dee Wallace, Sam Jones, and Reginald\xa0VelJohnson, the film evokes it\u2019s alternate-1980s setting with loving precision and eye for detail.
