We had the opportunity to sit down with the cast and director of the new creature feature, Xeno, to chat all things Henson Creature Shop, first contact, and filmmaking challenges.
Director / Writer Matthew Loren Oates partnered with Henson to bring this extra terrestrial teen thriller to life. Think ET meets a xenomorph. Stars Lulu Wilson, Omari Hardwick, and Trae Romano all reflected on making the film and particularly having a practical puppet costar to play off of.
