Angad Aulakh's sci-fi short film 'Aurora', starring Guy Kent, has been selected for the 27th Malibu Film Festival, which will screen at the Writers Guild of America (WGA) Theater in Beverly Hills, California. The film previously premiered at the HollyShorts Film Festival and has received nominations from FilmQuest and the Festival of Fantastic Films UK.
