Short faux-documentary directed by Neill Blomkamp tells the story of an alien invasion in Johannesburg, South Africa that was dismantled by the oppressive Apartheid government. The video is a predecessor to the movie District 9 and successfully makes the human race seem more strange and aggressive than the aliens. Fantastic visual effects and prosthetics, filled with provocative ideas. Take a coffee break with the uncanny.

Marc’s a filmmaker and new-media activist at heart. He recently produced and directed segments for Obama’s historic American Stories, American Solutions television special. In 2007, Marc was fortunate to break new ground on HBO’s John From Cincinnati as the first new-media filmmaker embedded into a television series to organically extend the characters and universe of the show online. In 2005, working with Fox Television and Verizon, Marc got to direct 24: CONSPIRACY - the first original mobile series that was created as a spin-off of the hit TV show 24 and was nominated for an Emmy Award. When he’s not creating content or telling everyone he knows about amazing online videos, Marc is hanging out with his beautiful wife and little girl.
