My fellow Half-Life fans, I present to you something awesome – Escape From City 17, a Half-Life 2 fan film. Directed by the Purchase Brothers, this is just part one of what will hopefully be a long series of shorts based on the hit video game from Valve.
From their YouTube profile:
The Escape From City 17 short film series is an adaptation based on the Half Life computer game saga by Valve Corporation. Originally envisioned as a project to test out numerous post production techniques, as well as a spec commercial, it ballooned into a multi part series. Filmed guerilla style with no money, no time, no crew, no script, the first two episodes were made from beginning to end on a budget of $500.
I really hope they continue with this project since it’s far better than anything Hollywood could produce I’m sure.
