Directed by The Purchase Brothers.

The Escape From City 17 short film series is an adaptation based on the Half Life computer game saga by Valve Corporation. Originally envisioned as a project to test out numerous post production techniques, as well as a spec commercial, it ballooned into a multi part series. Filmed guerilla style with no money, no time, no crew, no script, the first two episodes were made from beginning to end on a budget of $500.

$500? Holy shit.

[Ashe]

Hmmm... I might have to.

[Pinky]

Wonder where they got all those props from, and how much of it was CGI.

[Mr. Zhu]

Wow. It looks pretty professional for $500, then again there's only rougly 10 minutes of footage. Impressive nontheless.

[Rem-13]

I guess I'm going to go replay the HL2 series now.

[Super Buu]

That was fucking cool.

[Vad]

Fucking awesome. Gonna play HL2 for real now. lol

[Saz]

$500? Wow.

[Sage]

I'm impressed.

Although the "I hate walking" line was some of the lamest acting ever.
