Giant robots attack Montevideo and the DIY director behind it »

When Federico Alvarez, a filmmaker in Montevideo, Uruguay, decided on a lark to make an effects-laden short  to demonstrate his directorial and special-effects skills, little did he know it would be seen by hundreds of thousands of viewers, practically overnight.  And now Hollywood is calling.
Brand X: How did "Panic Attack!" ("Ataque de Panico") come to be?
Alvarez: We made it among friends in a period of six months. It was shot with 300 bucks. Everybody worked for free, except for the extras, who made a little money. We put 50 people on a bus and toured the city, making them run from one place to another. I don't think anyone knew at the time what they were supposed to be running from!
Brand X: The reaction to the video has been strong. Did this take you by surprise?
Alvarez: The craziest part of the story starts when I posted the short on YouTube. A few days later, it was all over the news in prime time in Montevideo. Then Buenos Aires and Madrid. Monday, it made the cover of the London Metro newspaper with the headline "Big Robots, Tiny Budget." That was nice!
Brand X: So things are working out like you wanted them to. That's great.
Alvarez: I'm learning by the minute how nuts Hollywood is. My e-mail is overflowing with e-mails from half of Hollywood wanting to buy my soul right now. I love it. Next week, I'm going to be in Los Angeles meeting executives from DreamWorks, Fox and Warner Bros.  If nothing comes of it, at least I get a first-class ticket to Los Angeles and some free meals!
