True Skin

A creepy futuristic world with a deadpan antihero, a black market for bionic implants and a psychological cliffhanger all get crammed into True Skin, a dazzling sci-fi short that has Hollywood going nuts...watch it here...

This mesmerizing short directed by Stephan Zlotescu is set in a Bladerunner-esque meets Strange Days sci-fi future where robotic augmentation is not only normal but people who don't upgrade them selves are shunned as "naturals" and looked down on as outcasts and lesser beings.

Within five days the short got over 230,000 views and Hollywood is going nuts about it.

"Industry response has been insane," said manager Scott Glassgold in an e-mail to Wired.

"Within hours of release, we were receiving calls from major studios and financiers."

Warner Bros was quick to buy the short and now plans to adapt it into a feature length film.

Unexpectedly Zlotescu is being retained as director but Harry Potter producer David Heyman is overseeing the production of the film.

Be prepared to be implanted into this bizarre sci-fi world as you digest True Skin...
