Rainfall Films and director Sam Balcomb present a live action short set in the Metroid universe, starring Jessica Chobot (Nerdist) and America Young (Halo 5). The classic Nintendo franchise, Metroid, envisioned through the lens of 60s-70s science fiction cinema such as 2001, Alien, and Solaris: this was the concept for Rainfall’s most recent production. Instead of using a modern approach, a style was developed more in tune with the themes that inspired the first Metroid game in 1986: isolation, exploration, and the wonders of deep space.

"Not only does Metroid: Other M look fantastic in motion, it looks fast—Team Ninja fast, at least in its sidescrolling shoot 'em up moments. Be on the lookout for big bosses, morph balling action and a scene familiar to Super Metroid players, which Metroid co-creator Yoshio Sakamoto showed at this year's Game Developers Conference."
