Zygoe is the third full short to debut from the studio following the Vietnam war-set Firebase and the first, the Sigourney Weaver-starrer Rakka. A shorter short for the studio was released as well featuring Sharlto Copley as God.
Oats Studios is bringing experimental short films to YouTube and Steam. Blomkamp previously took to Twitter to answer some questions about the project, confirming that Volume 1 of the series will have three shorts running about twenty minutes each.
“The goal is to see ‘if’ the audience likes them and ‘if’ they would be willing to pay for volume 2,” the director said. “They are too short to charge now.”
