Preston is a hot spot for UFO sightings and also has the UK's fastest-growing Chinese population. This was the starting point for artist Shezad Dawood film - a woozy socially-conscious science fiction movie. Avoiding Northern clichés Piercing Brightness is a tale of alien emissaries and interracial love that has a real sense of place with wig-out moments provided by Acid Mothers Temple and a climax on the roof of the brutalist Preston Bus Station.

They are on a mission to bring back agents known as the Glorious 100, who were sent to Earth thousands of years ago to study the plant and its occupants, but in the process they have been corrupted by their environment. To make matters worse, Jiang and Shin are being chased by a gang of bikers.
