io9.com— It took Peter Jackson's patronage of Neill Blomkamp to make District 9, and now Sam Raimi is getting in on the "mentoring up-and-coming sci-fi filmmakers" act. He's signed up Panic Attack's Federico Alvarez for a big-budget debut movie next year. — Submitted Nov 29, 2009
"oh look! well implemented, cheap CG! let's give him a feature!"i was impressed by blomkamp's shorts, but wtf is this 'panic attack'? it's riddled with cliches and has no real imagination.
the creator of the short: Federico Alvarez says this several times on numeorus interviews...most of the extras and crew were friends and friends of friends... they used his own camera the 300 dollars went mostly to some equipment they were missing...after that.. the editing and effects were done all by himself over the course of 3 years on his home computer....so yes its all possible.....if you still dont believe me, ill send you a link were Federico Alvarez says this exact same thing... its in spanish though
