Xenogenesis

Xenogenesis is a 1978 short film directed by James Cameron.



/film notes that "It is easy to draw comparisons between this short and Cameron’s later work." JamesCameronOnline says,

Rumor has it that Cameron spent a half-a-day dismantling the rented 35mm camera package just so he could understand how to run it. Cameron co-wrote, directed, edited, designed the sets and even did all of the camerawork. Self taught in the field, Cameron created most of the special effects himself on the cheap.
