With the glut of amazing content to consume out there these days, it takes a lot for fan films to get my attention. It takes even more for a trailer for a fan film to truly pique my interest. John Fiorella's excellent Grayson managed to do that years ago, and now it's happening again with Slice of Life, a fan film set in the world of Ridley Scott's Blade Runner that looks incredibly professional and downright eerie with how closely it managed to capture some of the aspects of that cinematic world. io9 says that director Luka Hrgović and his team are looking to Kickstarter to raise the funds to complete the full 20-25 minute short film, so all we have for now is this trailer. But man, what a cool trailer. Check it out, and head to their official site for more info.

What's the appeal to amateur filmmakers to invest their manpower and money to make Batman fan films? Remember Batman: Dead End, the short film that Sandy Collora made back in 2003? Or what about John Fiorella's Grayson, the Robin wish-it-could-have-been trailer? If you thought that you had seen the best of what could be done with Batman on a microbudget, this brand new short may make you reevaluate your opinion. It doesn't even have the word "Batman" in its title.
Welcome to City of Scars.
Directed and co-written by Aaron Schoenke, it's another fan production. However, unlike earlier Batman fan-films, City of Scars runs at an impressive 26-minutes in length (30 mins and change if you could the end credits.) Created by Bat in the Sun, a Los Angeles-based film and music production created by Schoenke and his brother Sean (who also composed the music for City of Scars), the film has high production values,...

A couple of clicks away on the web are scores of films made by fans – by turns hilarious, ingenious and ambitious. Lurking among their makers might be Hollywood's next generation.
Many still regard them as flatulent waste products of the socially deficient unemployed-layabout community. In most cases, they're pretty much right. But it looks increasingly likely that some of the amateur fan films that pervade YouTube and other online broadcasters will one day be cherished by movie-lovers as the formative works of the next generation of cutting-edge film-makers.
The idea of the fan film – an amateur, not-for-profit work inspired by a commercial movie, TV show or comic book – isn't new. Even before science fiction conventions in the 1970s began to provide sizeable audiences for homemade homages to much-loved sci-fi/fantasy franchises, teenage movie geeks such as Hugh Hefner and Batman fan Andy Warhol were finding their film-making feet making short...

After in development for only a month, this week The CW scrapped their plans for The Graysons, a series about Dick Grayson's pre-Robin days. Good. It's not like it's going to be as cool as this six-minute trailer for a non-existent Robin movie anyway. John Fiorella of Untamed Cinema wrote, directed, produced and starred in this award-winning short that became an internet and comic book convention sensation when it was released in 2004.
