I’m hyped over this.
Neill Blomkamp, the director who brought us “District 9” and other amazingly odd movies, is heading up Oats Studios which has already produced three strange short films with more to come. The indie studio releases them for free on YouTube and they are all worthy of a watch because they are so well done.
I am a fan of Neill’s style. The projects he does have a perfect mixture of organic and mechanical elements that I find extremely disturbing (in a good way). There’s nothing like it out there and he’s releasing content for free! I love it. According to their website these short films could become full feature at some point. I’m guessing it would depend on the popularity and buzz the short generates.
Here is one of the latest projects called, “Zygote.” After you watch this go watch the others, “God” and “Rakka.”
