Watch Sentai Inspired Uruguayan Scifi Short Z!

Here's a little something unexpected from the halls of the Mercado Fantastico at Fantastic Fest: A scifi / action short film from Uruguay with La Casa Muda director Gustavo Hernandez as an executive producer and Local God writer Santiago Gonzalez stepping into the directors chair to showcase his love of Japanese sentai shows like Kamen Rider. Surprising combination of influences? Oh, yes, and the results are pretty fascinating.

Designed both to showcase Gonzalez's directing skills and introduce what promises to be part of a sprawling cinematic universe, this is just the first part of what will hopefully grow to be something much, much larger. Take a look below.
