At one time Fan Films were something that you really had to be a serious fan to enjoy. But technology has grown by leaps and bounds, leaving powerful tools in the hands of the fan film creators that rival the best tools of Hollywood only a few years back. And those tools are definitely being put to creative use, often by fans of popular video game series (as we have discussed on NerdBeach before).
Consider the following fan film that features a short based on the Left 4 Dead game franchise. The quality, as they say, is all in there. The short's creator, Northen Five Entertainment, also made The Resistance web series, which you can find on YouTube.
(WARNING – some scenes may be too intense for younger viewers.)
