Six Stars: This New Short Film May Be the Closest We Get to a Live-Action Grand Theft Auto Movie

The release of GTA 6 may still be a long way off, but indie filmmaker Todd Wiseman Jr. has made an ambitious new short film, titled Six Stars, that essentially brings Grand Theft Auto into live-action. The short film is available on YouTube and can also be watched via the embed below.

Wiseman Jr. (The School Duel) wrote and directed Six Stars and also produced it with Christa Boarin. Trevor Gureckis (M. Night Shyamalan’s Old) composed the score.

The short film stars Anatomy of a Fall’s Milo Machado-Graner as a French teenage gamer who, according to the logline provided to IGN, “goes on an ‘American rampage’, spiraling through a world that can’t look away… where violence is packaged, shared, and applauded.“

Watch the entire seven-minute short film Six Stars via the player embedded below.

The logline adds: “Shot against the backdrop of Tampa, Florida, Wiseman Jr.’s hometown, Six Stars questions the representation of masculinity in today’s entertainment while simultaneously confronting the glorification and entertainment value placed on violence, one of The United States’ chief exports.”
