Transaction Planet is an upcoming micro-budget science fiction film written and directed by Connor Storrie, his feature directorial debut. The film was shot entirely with an iPhone camera.[1]
Premise
[edit ]An alien spirit who incarnates a human body endures both the brutality of life and the beauty of human connection.[2]
Cast
[edit ]- Gabe Kessler
Production
[edit ]Storrie credits the use of an iPhone for filming to his background on YouTube, a platform which he used to practice being in front of a camera.[2] Storrie had previously directed the short film Jerry The Ginger Eater, also starring Gabe Kessler, which depicts a cannibal who exclusively eats red headed women.[3] [4] Storrie chose to pursue Transaction Planet after wrapping Heated Rivalry, and had conceived the story at least a year in advance.[5]
Storrie credits the work of John Waters, Darren Aronofsky, and Sean Baker as key influences for the project.[6] He approached the project aware that it would not be palatable for all audiences, stating that he'd "rather swing big and miss the mark than try to please someone."[7]
The film was made on a micro budget with a group of Storrie's "very close, inspiring artist friends".[2] Storrie was heavily involved in all aspects of the products, being the director, writer, sole producer, and occasional makeup artist on the project.[5] Filming began in October 2025 and wrapped in December 2025.[7]
The star, Gabe Kessler, is involved in the Los Angeles clowning scene,[8] something which Storrie participated in prior to Heated Rivalry's success.[9]
