Full Sci-Fi Video Game short film TURBO Online

After a few months since we last posted the trailer for Jarrett Lee Conaway's Turbo, the entire 23-minute sci-fi short has eventually been uploaded online for all to watch.  It boast the slickest visual effects I ever seen for a student film that even put some films with an actual budget to shame.  The idea of a fully immersive fighting video game is a cool concept and who knows, this could be the future of interactive gaming.

TURBO is a high-adrenaline short film in the tradition of The Karate Kid and Tron. It tells the story of Hugo Park (Justin Chon, Twilight) a misspent youth whose only outlet for angst is a 4D fighting video game called "Super Turbo Arena". When Pharaoh King (Jocko Sims, Crash the Series), the Michael Jordan of cybersports, announces a tournament to determine who will join his pro team, Hugo's sets his eyes on the prize. But Hugo isn't the only gamer who wants fame and glory. If Hugo wants to win he's going to have to beat Shamus (David Lehre, Epic Movie), the all time Turbo champ at the local Pandemonium arcade, and Ruse Kapri, a feisty prep girl that knows how to win. Realizing he can't win on his skill alone, Hugo turns to his brother Tobias, a former kickboxer whose last match left him confined to a wheelchair. Together the two will mend old wounds and see if a washed up street fighter can teach a troubled teen how to become a virtual gladiator!

The DVD is available for pre-order at the official site.  You'll find the short film embedded below after the break.
