Just last month we were very pleased to present to you, the Twitch faithful, the trailer for fantastic German genre-mashing short film Kingz, the latest effort from the film making duo of Benni Diez and Marinko Spahić. Well, the duo's working relationship began before Kingz and when they offered me a look at their first ever short film, a film school collaboration titled Druckbolzen (Pressure Bolt in English) which they shot for a shockingly low budget of a mere two hundred and fifty Euro, I couldn't say no. And after dragging my jaw off the floor I immediately asked if there were any way I could present the film online to the readership here. Happily they agreed and we were able to get permission from all of the involved parties to do just that.

I don't want to say too much about it before you have the chance to watch, but let me say this. Druckbolzen proves conclusively that while money can go a long way to mask a lack of talent the truly talented can create entire worlds for nothing. Diez and Spahić are, to put it simply, hugely talented, and with their paltry budget put together a film that would do Alex Proyas, Terry Gilliam or David Lynch proud. You'll find the entire short in the Twitch Player below the break.
