The project Interspecific reaches a major milestone with the attachment of its director: Terrell Lamont.
Originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Terrell Lamont forged a distinctive visual identity through his early work on low-budget underground music videos. It was within this raw, experimental scene that he developed a taste for rugged imagery, sensory storytelling, and an uncompromising approach to direction.
Over the years, he has established himself as a true multi-hyphenate filmmaker, honing his skills as a screenwriter, cinematographer, composer, and director. This versatility feeds a coherent and deeply embodied body of work, where every aesthetic choice serves emotion and narrative.
His style, often described as “gritty,” has earned critical recognition and multiple awards. Its full intensity can be felt in his recent projects — Hush Money, Infrared Dreams, and Broke Boys — films defined by visceral tension, grounded characters, and a visual atmosphere that is instantly recognizable.
For Interspecific, Terrell Lamont also brings a controlled and confident urban vision, rooted in contemporary environments that feel alive, believable, and at times hostile. His take on the city — as both a social landscape and a space of survival — aligns seamlessly with the film’s themes, reinforcing its sense of realism.
He is equally known for his precise command of sound design and sonic effects, which he treats as a fully-fledged narrative tool. This approach to sound gives his films a personal and immediately identifiable signature, extending the emotional experience well beyond the image itself.
With Interspecific, Terrell Lamont delivers a bold and organic vision, promising a science-fiction film that is deeply human, where concept, emotion, and the texture of the modern world are tightly interwoven.
