       this is the work of a 23-year-old student in his first year
       studying film and animation.  The Hollywood Reporter has posted
       an article about the short and its creator, Kaleb Lechowski, who
       attends Berlin’s Mediadesign Hochschule.  With no budget to work
       with, Lechowski spent seven months creating a completely virtual
       world and a story about an alien protagonist.  The short has
       nothing to do with human beings at all, yet the main character
       is someone the audience can easily relate to.
       Image courtesy Kaleb LechowskiThe name, R’ha, immediately brings
       to mind the Stargate franchise while the story itself feels like
       an otherworldly version of Rise of the Machines.  The main
       character is facing interrogation by an “artificial organism”
       and the plot revolves around the history between the organic and
       inorganic intelligences.  The entire project was written,
       directed, and animated by Lechowski alone.  The only outside
       help he had was from Harmut Zeller who did the sound work and
       Dave Masterson who provided the voice acting talent.
       One thing’s for sure, you’ll remember the phrase “Initiating
       motivation protocol.”  It’s the new “I’ll be back.”
       The only plot synopsis given is very succinct, but accurate:
       A member of an alien race is being interrogated and tortured
       by a machine.[/quote]
