After showing up as a surprise screening at the Toronto Film Festival nearly a year ago, Biosphere is in limited theatrical release and on demand July 7th. It marks the directorial debut of Mel Eslyn with Sterling K. Brown and Mark Duplass (who co-scripted with the filmmaker) as the last two men on earth.
