We first wrote about independent sci-fi short The Ore way back in April of 06 and with the film freshly released on a jam packed DVD that takes you through every aspect of production, the directing team of Sam Balcomb and Jesse Soff have cut a new trailer for their flick.

I’ve just had the chance to see the film and while it occassionally shows evidence of it’s budgetary limits - there are some obvious edges in a handful of composite shots and a few spots where the colour and lighting doesn’t match up between elements - but this is one seriously impressive piece of work.  The effects work is staggering for such a low budget affair and - more importantly - the duo have created a compelling little story rich with detail and ideas.  Should they find a backer and care to do so this is a project that just begs to be expanded out to feature length.  The film certainly has no shortage of character, compelling relationship and visual ideas.

    It looks good, certainly somewhere above the quality Star Wars fanflicks (for example) achieve.

    Your original post mentions that the plan was to release The Ore for free online. Has the DVD and/or Sci Fi Channel deal changed that? I couldn’t see any “download here” links on the movie’s site.

    No, you can only order DVD for now. And trailer is very nice…
