How do you direct a season premiere with dinosaurs, cowboys, Martians, alien bugs, and the origins of humanity? Director Chris Fisher joins Open Pike Night to break down how "Valles Marineris" came together—from roaring like a dinosaur to get genuine reactions from the cast to watching the episode's final shot grow bigger and bigger.

This is Prime Direction, our weekly interview series with the directors of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4. Every Saturday, we go behind the scenes with the people bringing each episode to life.
