Factory Farmed (2008) is a short sci-fi film by Garreth Edwards that won the Sci-Fi London 48 hour film challenge. Their brief was to make a film from script to screen in 48 hours including the prop of a clear bottle with green or red liquid including the line "I am required to carry out this task until completion; your orders do not override anything". It goes to show that sometimes working to a specific set of instructions, within tight time and budgetary constraints can lead to creativity and exactly what is possible. Garreth has gone on to direct a feature film the critically acclaimed Monsters (2010). Monsters has been an inspiration to film-makers as it looks like a £40mn Hollywood movie but due to Garreth,s special effects expertise actually cost only about £50,000. He employs these visual effects skills here in Factory farmed also.
