The Ballad of Ethan Alien is a 75-minute film, featuring the music of Western Terrestrials, Sarah King, Brass Balagan, Bow Thayer and other Vermont Artists. Produced by local filmmaker Teo Zagar, the film combines elements of science fiction, music, and Vermont history, the film is uniquely "Vermont", but highlights concepts which will resonate well beyond the Green Mountain State's borders, such as inclusivity, collective action, diversity, anti-racism and the importance of artistic expression.

With appearance from Vermont notables such as Ben and Jerry, Kiah Morris, Christine Hallquist, Luis Guzman, Jen Kimmich, and Rusty "The Logger" DeWees, the film creates a cinematic experience that truly embodies the spirit of Hadestown, Bread and Puppet, Phish, Grace Potter, Fred Tuttle and the rich tradition of Vermont art.

Filmed in entirety during the pandemic, the final product features the work of more than 75 Vermont-based film and music production professionals, performers, artists, and creatives, many of whom have struggled to find work during the pandemic. In addition to giving meaningful work and purposeful outlet to a host of Vermont artists during a challenging time, the film will be a first professional credit for many of the talented young people involved.
