Meatball Machine

Has anyone heard of/seen this movie?

Judging by the production stills, it looks like some kind of cross between Cronenberg, H.R. Giger, and... ???

I first heard about it at this spring's Philadelphia Film Festival. From the description page:
Quote:
Meatball starts off as a sweet romance, but that doesn’t last long: shy, lonely factory worker Yoji has a crush on fellow factory employee Sachiko, but just when they start to bond…well, aliens invade the earth and attach themselves as parasites to human bodies. The method of parasitism is grotesque enough – the aliens implant tumor-like globules on the shoulders of their victims and pilot them like robots
There's a Quicktime trailer here: meatball_machine.mov, which includes someone's head being sawn in half.

The imdb page is fairly recent, there are no comments or details yet.
