With the state of Hollyweird as it is these days, it would be refreshing to see more independent films that can harness quality over, well, all the bs that has infected the current industry.

This 20 minute film is better than some of the full production flicks, out in the recent year.

Cool. I definitely get the feeling that this was made by people who are passionate about the characters as opposed to a hired, flavor-of-the-month, gun who believes his own hype and shits all over projects.

That was fantastic. I can't remember if this got posted elsewhere or not, but check this out. A passionate fan does more in a few short episodes than Games Workshop has managed to do in years!
