STORY: In Metal Heart, a soldier and his drone partner go hunting for kaiju. 

Starring the voices of David Hewlett (The Shape of Water, Stargate Atlantis) and Marta Svetek (Five Nights at Freddy’s, Battlefield 2042)!

So, crazy story… A year ago, director Aharon Rabinowitz had never even touched Unreal Engine. Then he took School of Motion’s 6-hour course Unreal Engine for 3D Artists, with Jonathan Winbush, which kicked off his Unreal journey. 365 days later he completed Metal Heart, this animated short film.
