[Video] ‘BioShock’ Fan Film “The Interrogation of Timmy H” Puts the Game’s Audio Logs to Good Use

With the next BioShock game currently in production, you’re probably wanting something to tide you over. 64 Bits gave us something on the retro side, and now Solano Pictures has gone one step further with an 11-minute fan film, “The Interrogation of Timmy H”.

Written and directed by Dan Duthie and starring Shawn Shelpman, David Ogrodowski, Jack Erdie and Georin Aquila, The Interrogation of Timmy H tells the story of Timmy H., the unfortunate corpse you encounter in Neptune’s Bounty in the first BioShock game. An audio log details Timmy’s “interrogation” at the hands of Sullivan, who at the time was working for Andrew Ryan.

This short goes back two years prior to the events of the first game, giving Timmy the identity of a smuggler working for Frank Fontaine. It briefly recounts the events that transpire in the audio log before veering off in its own direction (with a twist).

The short also features an original score by Gary Schyman, who contributed music to the first three BioShock games.

With something this atmospheric and sinister, it makes you wonder Gore Verbinski could have done with his proposed film adaptation before it was canned. Still, glimpses like these also make you hope that someone gets to giving BioShock a full feature-length adaptation some day.

And in case you’re in the mood for video game fan films, do check out Leigh Thorne and Ruben Abreu’s Silent Hill: Road of Guilt, which is also on YouTube.

Thanks to PC Gamer for the heads up.
