American Virus
In under six minutes, Ryan and Eastwood tell the story of an America under attack from the inside. No explanation as to how the cirus was created, where it came from, or how to stop it, but just a relentless, found footage style, short analysis of the impact it creates. Guerrilla style filming, a pounding music track, and the overall look and feel of the city create a vision of what could be. The the story has not start and no end simply means the viewer is as bewildered as some of those on screen. Great make up work means that this short film deserves its place in the not quite post apocolyptic times that we may now be approaching - or perhaps the Reapers are already here....
