Synopsis by Maggie Sadler

Never before seen footage uncovers the origin behind Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi film Alien, which drew its inspiration from obscure comic books, Francis Bacon's artwork, Greek and Egyptian mythologies, and the unsettling depths of Dan O'Bannon and H.R. Giger's minds. Candid interviews reveal the complexity of collaborative filmmaking projects as well as the influence of both myth and the shared subconscious workings of the human mind on the creative process as a whole. Written and directed by Alexandre O. Philippe.
