From director David Karlak and writers Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, comes 'Rise,'
a sci fi short concept video that shows the robot uprising trope very effectively.

Starring Star Trek's Anton Yelchin and Rufus Sewell this pitch presents the near future, where sentient robots are targeted for elimination after they develop emotional symmetry to humans and a revolutionary war for their survival begins.

Let's hope the pitch worked and we will soon be able to see the full-length version! Check out the filmmakers' Facebook page for more information.
