While we wait patiently for HBO’s upcoming The Last Of Us TV series, we’ve been lucky enough to have a spate of excellent fan-made film projects emerge from the shadows. From the insanely realistic Project Spores to a handful of well-edited movie concept trailers, Joel and Ellie’s gritty post-apocalyptic world is certainly rich with dramatic and dark storytelling ideas. And speaking of which, a brand new fan-made short film inspired by The Last Of Us just released on Youtube (H/T Kotaku) earlier this week called Stay, and it’s seriously very
