NERO is an animated Afro-futurist cyberpunk short from Motif Studios, set in a post-apocalyptic South Africa where revolution, power, and survival collide. A war hero thought dead, a tyrannical tech tycoon, and a mysterious girl caught between them: this pulse-pounding short hints at a much larger story in the works.

According to Motif Studios, this is just a taste of a full 90-minute feature currently in the works. If the trailer is any indication, NERO promises to be a bold, action-packed ride unlike anything you’ve seen before. Check out the exerpt of the full film below!
