An Uruguayan producer who uploaded a short film to YouTube has been offered a £18.5m contract to make a Hollywood movie.
Fede Alvarez's short film, Ataque de Pánico, featured giant robots invading and destroying Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay.
It is 4 mins 48 seconds long and was made on a budget of less than £200 but has notched up more than 1.5m hits on YouTube in less than a month.
Alvarez said: "I uploaded Panic Attack! on a Thursday and on Monday my inbox was totally full of e-mails from Hollywood studios. It was amazing, we were all shocked."
"If some director from some country can achieve this just uploading a video to YouTube, it obviously means that anyone could do it," he added.
