The film, which premiered in June at the Tribeca Film Festival, also stars Sedgwick's husband of 34 years, Kevin Bacon, plus Kyle Allen, Simon Helberg, Madeline Brewer and Alexandra Shipp.

Sedgwick tells PEOPLE, "When I think about what matters to me, it's human connection. Life's tough and we can all be so checked out. And the ultimate check out? Leaving the planet and going to Mars."
"Space Oddity is a story about finding your way home — literally and figuratively — with heart, hope and humanity as the guiding light," she adds.

While she is known primarily for her 40-year acting career across film and television, Sedgwick made her directorial debut with the 2017 television drama film Story of a Girl, which also starred Bacon, 64, and their daughter, Smile actress Sosie Bacon.
She has also directed episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Grace & Frankie, Ray Donovan, City on a Hill and more, and has won various acting awards, including a Golden Globe and an Emmy.
