“In The Blink Of An Eye” is an American science fiction drama film directed by Andrew Stanton and written by Colby Day, starring Kate McKinnon, Rashida Jones, and Daveed Diggs. The film depicts three interconnected stories exploring the history of the world. The first story is set in prehistoric times (about 45,000 years ago), the second story is set in the present day with a research scientist, and the third story takes place in the future aboard a spaceship heading toward the Kepler system. It premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Alfred P. Sloan Prize. Stanton was kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about his work and experience making the film, which you can watch or listen to down below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now available to stream on Hulu from Searchlight Pictures. Thank you, and enjoy!
