In this special ATLFF '50 edition of Lights, Camera, Latino!, host Angel Fabián Rivera sits down with producer Martín Aramayo (@modernmountain_man) to explore the making of Reptilia (@reptiliapilot), a proof-of-concept pilot following Jane, a lizard woman who escapes her cold, homogeneous world at the bottom of the ocean to start a new life among humans... and ends up in a Meisner acting class. 🦎

Together, we discuss the bold creative vision behind this genre-bending comedy, what it takes to bring an original concept like this from idea to screen, and what's next for Reptilia beyond the festival.

Catch Reptilia at the Atlanta Film Festival 2026 at the Plaza Theatrem or follow the team online to see where this project goes next.
