282 // ALIEN: Lost Transmission | An Interview with the Filmmakers

In this episode, Perry and Jaime sit down with Alien: Lost Transmission writer-director Connor Botts and his co-writer and star, Benjamin Mayer. This might just be one of our most entertaining conversations yet. From Connor’s first sparks of inspiration to last-minute reshoots and shifting release dates, the duo dives into the passion, chaos, and creative fire behind their stunning short film.

Alien: Lost Transmission is a gorgeous love letter to the Alien universe, a striking proof of concept that shows just how much is possible when committed fans pick up the camera.
