Octopunk is a creative multimedia company that produces indie films for a wide range of genres.

It is run by Michelle Iannantuono who is a full time film-maker based in Charleston South Carolina. She loved to make films from an early age and she also has ADHD.

They have got 35.1k subscribers on YouTube and the banter in the videos is very funny. The humour in the videos and the fan comments section is another reason that I like them

Octopunk has made 9 films and some of the films are fan films (a “fan film” is made by a fan of a programs, artist or genre), and these are my favourites:

Detroit: Become Human is a game made by Quantic Dream. The fan films that Octopunk made are based on the characters in the game. The LED on their right temple that go between blue, yellow and red. Blue for normal, yellow for thinking and doing tasks, red is for stressful situation.

Detroit Awakening is a good short film that it is 17 minutes long and its the first fan film that they had made. The visual effects are a bit askew on the LED but other than that I find the film enjoyable. They went on to make a sequel called Detroit Evolution.

Detroit Evolution is the sequel to Detroit Awakening and it is great film that is fan made. The film is 75 minutes long and it is the second fan film that Octopunk made. The summary of the movie is that an android is killed and the two main leads of the film solve the mystery. The visual effects are very good, I love this movie.

My favourite non Octopunk fan film is Seven Deadly Synths is about magic synthesizers called the Seven Deadly Synths. The film is 13 minutes long, and the CGI are amazing. This will probably be a feature film in the future which I really hope happens. This film is fantastic in the writing and the acting.
