Cool Videos: The Gift, by Alien prequel near-director Carl Erik Rinsch

When word of the ALIEN prequel first came about, Ridley Scott had planned to just produce and have Carl Rinsch, one of his company’s directors, take the reins on the xenomorphic origin. But Fox flinched and said Ridley or GTFO.

Judging by Rinsch’s short film “The Gift”, that’s Fox’s loss.

Part of Philip Cinema’s Parallel Lines project (which is presumably why you have to watch it on a miniature version of their TVs), the mystifying but dazzling short showcases some incredibly convincing robotics, and uniforms that make me want a HALF LIFE 2 movie that much more. Dig.

If you see a cool video online you think would be perfect for this spotlight, drop us a line at yourvideos@joblo.com.
