i thought they were fantastic, the first one was a bit B movie in a great way, althought there was a scene that didnt show the panic i would have thought one of those bastard things would have insighted into the troops, but i did really enjoy them, thanks for sharing

The first one was basically a home movie. From the director's comment:

Quoted Text

There was no studio involved with this. It was literally shot in a foxhole we dug in my grandmother's backyard. Not as much money was spent on it as you might think. I built all the those models myself and the costumes were shared amongst actors and I had collected them previously (being somewhat of a WWII buff).

But it IS meant to serve as a presentation for a feature film. Should some studio or financier take interest...
