Machinima announced that it will work with Ridley Scott’s production company RSA to create a dozen short science-fiction films. Scott and RSA president Jules Daly will executive produce each film.

“There is a plethora of great talent here and sometimes they don’t have a platform for great ideas that would work well in shorts. It could be an established director wanting to try something new, or a brilliant young director from Sweden who surprises us,” said Daly. “This is the future, it’s new territory we believe we must investigate.”

“RSA has always been at the forefront of creating innovative work,” added Scott. “With new media transforming the way audiences connect with films and filmmakers, Machinima is a great partner for us as we embark on this new model of delivering original content to fans. It’s a tremendous opportunity for pushing the creative boundaries for both our filmmakers and the audience.”
