Neill Blomkamp’s ‘Rakka’ Short Film Released for Free

Neill Blomkamp, director of the amazing District 9, has released his first in a series of many short films from Oats Studios. Oats Studios was created as a way to remain creative in today’s film landscape plagued by way too many reboots and sequels. There’s also hope that a few of the shorts will turn into feature length films.

Rakka, the first short, features Sigourney Weaver in the year 2020 when aliens have enslaved humanity. In a bit of a departure from the norm, the film features varying points of views. Which is great and all, but have you seen those visuals?! I thought it was going to be some half-assed short not even a step up from Troma.
