Yes, it is actually true. This man's name is Fede Alavarez, and he spent about $300 to make a four-minute video about a robot invasion in Montevideo, the capitol of Uruguay. The video is titled "Ataque de panico", which means "panick attack", and some people even compare it to the sci-fi movie District 9, asking if Fede Alvarez could be the new Neill Blomkamp. Not long after he posted his sci-fi video on youtube, Fede started receiving emails from the Hollywood studios. "I uploaded 'Ataque de Panico!' on a Thursday and on Monday my inbox was totally full of emails from Hollywood studios", Fede Alvarez said. Indeed, the visual effect specialist obtained a 30 million dollar deal with Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures. Here is the video below.
