Planet Man

An interesting little short from New Zealand. It's gorgeous sci-fi Film Noir along the lines of Blade Runner. About a world where all of the women have suddenly disappeared leaving only men. Soon they give up waiting for the women to come back and start making pretty little men into pseudo-women (in a creepy off-putting scene shot very well). Our protagonist (or antagonist?) soon finds a real woman who talks of leaving and lying naked in the sun. She doesn't want anything to do with men, least of all the one standing in her room.

Prey Alone short film

This is an awesome short film I saw in one of my classes today.

Made by two Irish guys named James Mather and Stephen St. Leger who filmed the actors over like 4 days on green screen and then spent a shit-ton of time doing all of the rest of the film. It was ALL special effects and it is amazing. But, what is the greatest with this movie isn't just the quality of the background work. Oh no! It's also top-notch acting, fantastic music and a kick-ass story. I won't ruin it for you, though I really want to because it's so awesome!

I can't believe I just heard about this.
