Paradox: A Rusty Lake Film
Directed by Robin Ras
Paradox: A Rusty Lake Film is a collaboration between Dutch Director Sean Van Leijenhorst and Robin Ras & Maarten Looise, developers of the popular Rusty Lake game series. The short will release together with a game which will uniquely interact with the movie, via television, telephone, tape recorders and so on. We've carefully placed a ton of visual hints hidden in the movie which can be used in the game. Both the game and movie can be played / viewed separately.
