"Panic Attack", a 5-minute film made by an Uruguay filmmaker, was made using only $300, some helpful extras, and a wealth of talent in the field of special effects. The short film, which shows an alien invasion targeting Montevideo, uses a series of brilliant robots and flying machines dropping mass bombs on the city. As people flee and the air force intervenes, there is total chaos and destruction in the city. The film got noticed by Hollywood and Sam Raimi, the man behind "Spiderman" and "Drag Me to Hell", recently picked up the maker of the film for a $30 million deal. If the math is done, each dollar put into the film resulted in $100,000 for the filmmaker behind "Panic Attack".
