The Wedding Gift of Amuno Kensai (Surprise Video for Alex's Wedding!)

One of the co-founders and directors of Finite Films, Alex Calleros, got married this month to his longtime boyfriend, Alek! So a group of his friends conspired to make him them greatest, most epic surprise wedding gift possible--this movie, staring some of his closest friends..
The first half is based on a feature film he made in high school, "The Sword of Amuno Kensai." This film has a lot of inside jokes that reference that movie, but you can get a pretty good sense of that movie by watching this "trailer:"
• Video
The second half is based on Alek's favorite movie--Tron: Legacy. That part is self explanatory.
This was a fun project that we made specifically for Alek and Alex, but we figured others might get a kick out of it as well. Hope you enjoy!

Synopsis
When Dan and Addie realize they haven't gotten Alex a wedding gift, Dan suddenly finds himself in a goofy but dangerous alternate reality where he has to find the greatest wedding gift of all time--The Wedding Gift of Amuno Kensai.

[@djaynewman]

[@SnappyCamel]

You guys inspire me. Seriously. I've watched your stuff for years and I would say its one of the main reasons I started going to film school. Great job on this one! Along with everything else you guys do. =)

[@BrynBarton]

Congrats to Alex! And may I just say you guys are amazing - way beyond anything anyone else at your level is making. Some of your short films are not only my favourite short films, they're my favourite films. But waiting for Anamnesis has become total agony. When's it going to be released?

[@finitefilms]

Thanks Jazzy! We really appreciate that. Unfortunately, Anamnesis is on hold indefinitely. Our recent blog post goes into all the details about what's going on with it and why that is. We feel really bad about making everyone wait, so we're going to send you a private message to explain more, so make sure to look for that. -MT

[@BrynBarton]

finitefilms Indefinitely? That's a shame, but it's really cool that you're making it into a TV show - looking forward to it (and everything else you guys do in the future) :)

[@fs4mefs4me]

finitefilms
You scared me when you said it's on hold indefinitely. But then I read the blog post, and it said you guys are still working on Anamnesis. Phew.
A TV show hopefully means that, given the larger budget, it will be closer to what you guys envisioned. And I don't mind waiting for that at all.
It is nice to hear that you will be relasing some shorts in the meantime though.
Keep up the great work!
