Escape From City 17


Escape From City 17 is a short film created by the Purchase Brothers, two Canadian film makers from Toronto. The film is set in the Half Life 2 world of City 17 and follows two resistance fighters as they try to flee the city. The film will make a lot more sense to those of you who've played half life 2 but even if you haven't it's still quite interesting. The level of detail and quality of shots these guys pulled off on a budget of $500 and presumably a lot of blood, sweat and tears is quite stunning. Acting is a bit understated at times but regardless it is a very impressive effort.

Also, this is only part one. I've embedded the low definition version of the film so that everyone can watch but if you have a decently new computer, the menu should allow you to stream a hi-def version of the clip.
