CG5 (aka Charlie Green) is creating a three-part analog horror short film with Five Nights at Freddy's actress Piper Rubio, with the first part set to release on January 24th and the remaining two parts to follow over the course of the next three months. The series, called "Project U Move," will be heavy on lore, and will serve as Green's first horror IP, he told Ginx.TV.
"I know that my fans want nothing more than lore - that's their entire being," Green said. "They're well-versed in the lore of things like Poppy Playtime or Five Nights at Freddy's. I want to create my own IP where it has its own branding, and it's a new story that's kind of like the video games that they like. Maybe the game theorists will get on it, you know? Anything can happen, so I want this to be really cool."
The movie will be shot entirely on 8mm tape and will "feel sort of like a student film" because of the use of old cameras, Green explained. It will include some dark and uncanny themes as well as special effects, but won't go too heavy on the scares.
"I love hopeless horror. I love abandoned things, and eerie, uncanny things," he said. "I want to throw all that in for this, but still keep the younger audience around to watch because I don't want to scare them too much."

New music and music videos will also accompany the film. Filming for the project officially began on December 18th, just a few days after CG5 released his new single based on the Sonic 3 movie, 'Finding Maria.' Finding Maria is available on all major streaming platforms and Youtube.
