The Splinter Cell is a live-action short film, running at around nine minutes, and it's been made entirely by fans. I emphasise that last bit because at times it's tough remembering that, since this looks like it could have been a pilot for an actual TV series.
Those are some nice cameras they're using. Nice cameras, and nice beards.
It was made by Atomic Productions (directed by Ben & Andrew Adams, starring John Redlinger).

The real, official Splinter Cell movie is apparently coming out next year.
DISCUSSION
You don't have to be affiliated with something to have talent and access to equipment. Why wouldn't fans be able to make something that resembles a TV pilot if they have those two things?
