Escape from City 17, Half Life
A Half-Life movie based on Gordon Freeman would suck. But this short film - the first in a series - is not about Gordon Freeman. And, what do you know, it doesn't suck, either. Directed by The Purchase Brothers, Escape From City 17 was supposedly shot with "no money, no time, no crew, no script, [and] the first two episodes were made from beginning to end on a budget of $500 Canadian dollars", which at the moment is around USD$400. They kept costs so low because, as people who do this kind of thing for a living (making ads/films, not battling the Combine), they already owned expensive an expensive editing suite. Actually, the money went on the Combine uniforms and guns they use in the film, with all acting and editing work done for free. As for what we can expect in part two, the pair say that the avalanche of interest in the work since part one was released has actually slowed things down, with all the phone calls and emails distracting them from the job at hand. So they did a few thousand bucks' worth of work for free, then, because for a fan movie, this is freakin' amazing. That said, they reckon the second instalment in the series will be out in around six to eight weeks. Can't wait.
