Giacomo Talamini is a man with a vision. The 27-year-old Italian film student was so into the video games of Hideo Kojima that he devoted a sizable chunk of his life to embodying the character of Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid: Philanthropy. This short film, which cost over $13,000 to make over the course of several years, takes place before the events of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty, and features Snake teaming up with an organization called Philanthropy that was chartered to take down Metal Gears around the globe.
