Another wicked cool cyber punk short film to watch. Lost Boy is the latest project from PostPanic Pictures, an Amsterdam-based production company (also behind the sci-fi short film Sundays). The film is a pitch for a feature sci-fi project from directors Anthony Scott Burns and Ash Thorp, and introduces us to a dark, gritty, barren world. Inspired by American action classics and Japanese samurai films, this has a true cyber punk design aesthetic, and looks damn good for a short film made on a limited budget. I really dig the world design and the costumes, though there's not much of a story here but hopefully that is something they're working on for the feature. The vehicle that shows up at the end is probably the coolest part. Check this out. Thanks to Quiet Earth for the tip on this. Short description from Vimeo: "Year unknown. Population Zero. Welcome to Lost Boy.

Seven minutes flew by as I was ushered into the desolate future world of "Lost Boy." I knew this was a short film going in...but usually when they end I'm comfortable with the time we spent together! That's not the case this time, as I think this concept is a glimpse into an exciting new franchise for science fiction as a genre. Read the official description and continue reading below...

Anthony Scott Burns should be a familiar name to many readers of this site by now. We've raved about his short film work in the past and while word about Burns has spread thanks to his segment in the Holidays horror anthology - he did Father's Day - and fans await his feature debut Our House, he's back again to tease a different upcoming project. Teaming up once again with collaborator Ash Thorp along with Dutch production house PostPanic - the company responsible for the gorgeous Sundays scifi short now being turned into a feature - they've just released the proof of concept for a punk scifi short titled Lost Boy. And it is - typically - gorgeous. Lost Boy is an ambitious sci-fi concept...

Crafting an impressive short with ideas to burn is becoming an ever-more popular means for first-time filmmakers to get their foot in the studio door. Dracula Untold’s Gary Shore got his start that way, and this year’s Pixels was born from Patrick Jean’s video game-referencing work. Now Dutch ads and short film director Mischa Rozema has scored a deal with Warner Bros. on the back of his pitch film, Sundays, which you can watch below. Rozema’s concept, which he wrote with Kevin Koehler, finds Brian Petsos as a man who begins to realise that he himself and the world around him are not what they seem – indeed, the whole universe appears to be slowly falling apart. But can he trust even his own senses? The short definitely has overtones of The Matrix, Inception and even District 9 in its use of grungy visual style and dystopian ideas.

This week's must see video comes at us care of Dutch commercials producer PostPanic. The company has been making visually stylish commercials for years but they recently launched a film and television division and with it, a nearly 15 minute proof of concept video that has more wow moments than anything you've seen since Ruairi Robinson's breathtaking, and soon to be feature film, The Leviathan.

We've been following the progress of Mischa Rozema's ultra ambitious scifi short Sundays for quite some time now here at Twitch. From the earliest days of the crowd funding support to send the crew to shoot on location in Mexico - a fund raising effort we happily supported - through to trailers and other materials hitting the public eye, we've just been more and more impressed by everything we've seen. And now we get to see it all.Set in Mexico City sometime in the future and starring Us actor Brian Petsos and Mexican actress Sofia Sisniega, Sundays is an ambitious philosophical science-fiction proof-of-concept short. The end of the world seems like a nightmare to Ben. A memory of a past life that doesn't belong to...

They say that good things come to those who wait and that very much appears to be the case with Mischa Rozema's scifi short Sundays. We first wrote about the film two full years ago - back in June of 2012 - when they launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the Mexican shoot for the ambitious scifi short. The film posits a future in which computer intelligence outstrips humanity - and the consequences of that development - and the first teaser, which arrived back in December showed that the wait up until that point had been very worthwhile.And now? Now the film is deep into post production with completion anticipated for later this year and a second teaser has arrived to tide us over....
