aka. Alex Chen,

““Hack In” is a narrative, single-channel 3D animation. The themes explored in the project are androids, robots, mecha, Hive City, and spaceships. The plot is about a space fleet trying to take over the city, but a shield is blocking their way, so they send an infiltration unit to shut off the shield. However, things are not as simple as it seems. The animation is inspired by the "real robot" mecha anime genre like the Gundam series, Cyberpunk media like “Ghost in the Shell” “Cyberpunk 2077” and the third-person shooter mecha video game series “Armored Core”. Hack In represents a unique fusion of genres, crafted to fulfill my dream of creating a film featuring androids, robots, mecha, Hive City, and spaceships. This project marks my deliberate shift from being a consumer to becoming a producer in the realm of filmmaking.”
