Want to feel better about your mediocre Proof-Of-Concept short movie?
James Cameron needed to raise lots of money to make his feature film, THE TERMINATOR. To do this, James created this Proof-Of-Concept short movie, XENOGENESIS.
HO! What a piece of crap, right?
HA! Go ahead! Laugh with all of the full-blown mockery you like. HA! Holy shit what garbage, eh?
Whew! Are you done now? Good. Because James not only used this short to raise the funds for his feature film, THE TERMINATOR, as it's no doubt dawning on your second thoughts,
He succeeded!
XENOGENESIS was the 1st stage booster that got James off the ground!
Laugh now, clown!
FYI: Pretty much the essence of every hit he has ever had since can be found in this short film, XENOGENESIS.
