From YouTube to Hollywood

I had received an e-mail sometime back that sent me this YouTube link. I thought that this video entitled Ataque de Panico! (Panic Attack), was a trailer for a soon-to-be released  movie. However, when I dug a little deeper, I found out that it was a five-minute short film by an Uruguayan filmmaker, Fede Alvarez.
This video, which was posted on YouTube in November 2009, is a stylized documentary about giant robots attacking and destroying Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay. I was, to say the least, surprised when I read that Alvarez had made the film for less than $1000.
