Written and directed by Adam Marisett, an animator on films such as District 9, Elysium, Iron Man and more, delivers to us the following very cool short that we truly wish was a feature-length film.
10 years after leaving a war his father started, Quinn and Amp live in the slums selling illegal custom-tech just to afford the batteries that keep Amp alive.
When an old childhood friend tracks him down, Quinn is confronted with the dilemma of choosing to remain idle in a city run by the corrupt Coreley Corporation or finally finish the war he never wanted to be a part of.

I couldn't wait to show you this new sci-fi short that was sent to us! It's called "Amp," and it was written and directed by Adam Marisett. This thing is freakin' awesome, fun, and charming. One of the characters in the short is a robot, and the special effects were done extremely well. Here's a short story synopsis:

The guy that directed this could be going places. Check out the short and let us know what you think of it!

"These days we need to be a little... resourceful." Yet another excellent sci-fi short film to feature today. This one featuring another robot! Vancouver based product company Triton Films (behind Somnolence and Blomkamp's Tetra Vaal) has launched their latest short Amp, written and directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Adam Marisett, an animator on District 9 and many other notable films. This plays almost like a pitch or proof of concept for a Firefly-like futuristic TV show, but it has some flair and I dig the robot character, he fits in well but gets beat up easily. There's some stellar concept art during the end credits, too. Amp comes direct from Vimeo and Triton Films online - no synopsis available. The short film was directed by Adam Marisett, written by Adam Marisett and Casey Chourney, and produced by Gabriel Napora. Cinematography is by Cliff Hokanson, with music by Sean Beeson and Pontus Rufelt.
