Move over Ultraman, you’ve been replaced by a cheesehead! Avery brings another bit of news to the blog here with Robojapan’s report of the short Zero Trooper-F now hitting festival circuits. Tokusatsu, Wisconsin, the Packers, um….yeah!

The Wisconsin film festival site sez:

In the midst of a devastating giant monster attack on Greenside City, Bryan decides to leave his position as the head scientist of the city’s military defense force. This film was shot in Madison and features some of the cast and crew as the feature film Loose Cannons (playing at this year’s festival). Eric and Niko are both from the UW Communication Arts program.

If you’re in the area, take a break from crying over Brett Favre and go see it.

Thanks, Avery!
