Go behind the scenes with VFX artist, filmmaker, and YouTuber Sam Denison aka Samster, as he reveals the making of We Few Survivors — a fan made short film set in the universe of The Last of Us.

With Season 3 of The Last of Us on the horizon, We Few Survivors is a must-watch for anyone craving more post-apocalyptic action and emotional storytelling.
