A Conversation with Alec Gillis
Join us for a conversation and retrospective with creature effects artist Alec Gillis. Known for his work on Starship Troopers, Alien: Romulus, Godzilla vs Kong, The Predator, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Tremors, and It, Alec will provide an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at his work spanning creature design, special effects makeup, animatronics, and puppetry.
About Alec Gillis: As a kid, Alec Gillis’ father told stories of makeup great Dick Smith, and Effects wizard Gene Warren, Sr. Having sold Dick Smith an insurance policy in the 50’s, and having an aunt that dated the elder Mr.Warren made his father somewhat of an expert in Special Effects, at least in young Alec’s eyes. With a burning curiosity about the tricks of filmmaking, Alec decided, at age thirteen, to pursue a career in Creature Effects.
