This is a Triumph: Live-Action Portal Short Film

stars Danielle Rayne as a convincingly-badass Chell.  The visual effects were done by by Jon Chesson and the score is by Mike Zarin, who also composed the atonal music for the first Inception trailer.

Trachtenberg also directed the short horror film “More Than You Can Chew“ which is worth a watch if little kids creep you out as much as they creep me out.  I was totally cheering for the birds in the playground scene from Hitchcock’s The Birds.  That’s not so much a joke as it is something that will come up in a court case someday, once I get these pigeons to do my bidding.
