An overhaul of the film industry has been a long time coming. The production of films, the people who fund these productions and in what manner these films will be sent out into the world is changing dramatically. Thanks to the Internet, naturally.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ROSA is an outstanding example. It was created by comic artist Jesus Orellana, funded by Jesus Orellana and will be made available online, by, wait for it, yes Jesus Orellana. For free. What does he get out of this? Complete and utter creative control, naturally.

From January 2010 to February 2011 he completed the 323 shots that compose the spectacular 8’34” CG animated short-film. The best way you can support the film is becoming a fan of ROSA in Facebook, telling your friends about the film and spreading the word on film/anime/manga related sites, forums, Twitter or Facebook. The more awareness is created for the film, the more likely it is to be seen by a large audience allowing Jesus Orellana to create his first independent animated feature-film.

 

This short science fiction film tells the story of ROSA. In the near future, humanity has disappeared, leaving behind a large megalopolis devoid of natural life. From the destruction awakes ROSA, a robot part of the KERNEL project, mankind’s last attempt to restore the earth’s ecosystem using recovered samples of long-extinct plant species. Wandering among the ruins of the lifeless city, ROSA will soon discover that she is not the only part of Kernel that has awakened.
