'The Hunger Games' movie poster

I think many fans of The Hunger Games know this, but just in case you don’t, there’s a production company out there that have been making short films based off of the The Hunger Games book series.

The production company is called Mainstay Productions and they have already released a short or two based on The Hunger Games, one of them titled Katniss and Rue.

Project Arbiter is a 20-minute concept film that was shot on a RED One camera system.

It takes place in 1943 during WWII and we follow an experimental O.S.S. unit whose code name is Project Arbiter while they infiltrate a mysterious villa in Poland and uncover the mysteries within that villa, and the discovery that launches a story.

It’s a movie that blends the reality of World War II with sci-fi and the creator/director wants to have folks see the film as an untold story from the war that based mostly on the potential of the reality of it.
