The mission of the Alaska Teen Media Institute is to provide teens with the tools and training needed to produce stories and with the opportunity for their stories - told in their own voices - to be shared through a variety of media. ATMI believes the teen perspective is valuable and under-represented. The Alaska Teen Media Institute is a program under the umbrella of Spirit of Youth, 501 (c)(3).

For this episode we’re talking about Asteroid City, the new film from director Wes Anderson. The story takes place in the 1950’s at a junior stargazing event in the desert. But after an extraterrestrial encounter disrupts an evening festivity, the characters are left to wonder what it all means.
It’s also a play within a television show. But it’s a movie. It’s hard to explain.
Our ATMI film critics sat down to talk about the movie’s puzzling messages, the stacked A-list cast, visual motifs standard in a Wes Anderson film, and much more.
Hosted by Kendrick Whiteman.
