The first film from Oats Studios, Rakka, is now available for
streaming on YouTube and Steam, and it depicts the aftermath of an
alien invasion. The year is 2020, and aliens have enslaved humanity,
and altering the Earth’s atmosphere. But Rakka isn’t a conventional
short film. Instead, it’s a series of scenes depicting various points
of view. Some scenes show what the aliens are doing to humanity;
others track a resistance movement led by Sigourney Weaver, and an
escaped prisoner named Amir. Later, in a climactic battle, resistance
fighters shoot down an alien aircraft and track down its pilot.

<This is new. Never heard of it. Will sample.>

Bad form to reply to one's own post in this manner but nonetheless I
thought that this was fantastic. The CGI work was first class and the
story was extremely bleak. It made most dystopian fodder look like a
trip to Disney Land. Some have said the voice over reminds them of
Milla Jovovich in her franchise but it brought to my mind that of
Linda Hamilton and Lena Headey from the Terminator films.

"But medic Sara (Carly Pope, aka Susan Williams in Arrow), who
provides a tense narration, believes that he holds the key to
defeating the Klum."
