the soundtrack reminds me of the soundtrack of 28 days/weeks later

[Farbin Kaiber]

seems like "What's in the Box?"

Sure hope they got the rights to that original 28 days later track.

Great short. Thanks for sharing. I hope the director will make it. Hopefully he will not follow up on James Cameron's path: lots of CGI and no scenario.

That little flick reminds me of "El Mariachi' which was a feature film, produced with around $16k. Which was money the director cashed after being the guinea pig for many medical experiments. The original movie was an instant cult hit. A bit like the first Boondock Saints. So much that Roberto Rodriguez, the director, was offered several millions and a full crew by Hollywood, to film a remake with Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek. Movie got called "Desperado". Which ended up being a flop. The director claimed it was impossible to make a good movie with 100s of crew, and focus group peoples around you.

The best about the remake was obviously Salma.
