The Fan Films
What each short in the vault is, what you are looking at, and which one to watch first
Nine Short Films, Made Here
Every clip in the Fan Vault is an original SixStarsWanted production: short AI-assisted fan films that take the characters, places and mood of Grand Theft Auto VI (and a few faces from older games) and put them in motion. None of it is Rockstar footage, none of it is from the game, and all of it is hosted on this server rather than on YouTube. Below, each film in the order we would watch them, with what you are looking at and why it was made.
Love Fist Lives Again
A 25-second tribute to Love Fist, the hair-metal band Tommy Vercetti spent half of Vice City looking after. The band are rebuilt in the GTA 6 look under a blood-red Love Fist logo with a skull for the O: bare chests and tattoos, studded belts with skull buckles, fingerless gloves and a headband, with classic cars and palm trees in a pink sunset behind them. They throw arms over each other's shoulders and mug for the camera, a sunglassed beach-goer cuts in to steal a beat, and a red-haired bandmate in a striped football shirt turns up for the close.
No plot, all attitude: the tribute Vice City's loudest band deserved.
Three Kings of GTA
Three protagonists from three eras of Grand Theft Auto, rebuilt in the look of GTA 6. The reel opens on Tommy Vercetti in a pinstripe suit and a string of pearls, the Vice City kingpin two decades on. It cuts to Carl Johnson in a navy suit stepping out of a black sedan on a palm-lined Los Santos street, then to Niko Bellic in a turtleneck riding a Liberty City train, the same tired eyes he had in 2008. Each king gets his own light, his own city and his own silence; nobody speaks, and nobody needs to.
Thirty-seven seconds, the longest film in the vault and the one to start with.
Tommy's New Empire
A fake live news broadcast from an alternate Florida. The ticker reads Vercetti 58 percent, Rivera trailing, and Breaking News: Vercetti wins governor race. Tommy takes the podium under a Vercetti For Governor banner, a bespectacled lawyer at his shoulder, then poses with a purple-haired woman holding a baby. It plays the beat of every election-night photo op straight, which is what makes it land: the most wanted man in Vice City history, now the state's chief executive.
The joke is in the details: the campaign colours, the flag, the practised smile.
Vice City After Dark
A street party at night under the glass towers. A woman in a fur jacket, cropped top and ripped jeans dances on the hood of a dark coupe while the crowd holds up phones, neon spilling pink across wet asphalt and the car's open door. It is the Vice City that the trailers promised: loud, humid and unbothered.
Shot like a phone video someone would post at 2 a.m.
GTA 6 Fishing Trip
Twelve seconds of calm. A man in a white tee and shorts casts from the swim platform of a white speedboat with twin 300-horsepower outboards, gulls overhead, water the colour of a swimming pool. A friend in a floral shirt mans the helm. Behind them, the Vice City skyline and a pink beachfront hotel. No crime, no chase, just the part of Leonida everyone will drive out to on day two.
The quietest film in the vault.
Beach Trip
A day on the sand. A yellow lifeguard tower, a beach buggy parked beneath it, sunbathers face-down on towels, a woman in a sun hat, a heavyset guy in blue trunks, and a weathered older man in green shorts and sunglasses pushing through the middle of it all. It is a slice of the beach-life ambience Rockstar has shown in the screenshots, told from eye level.
Watch for the tan lines.
Most Wanted MC Member
An extreme close-up on a biker you would cross the road to avoid. Liberty City Cycles cap, full beard, an Enforcer patch on his cut, a revolver in his fist and a second rider in a red bandana over his shoulder. He snarls, bares his teeth and shouts straight down the lens for the whole nineteen seconds. The motorcycle clubs are a confirmed part of GTA 6's world; this is a guess at what their muscle looks like.
Not a subtle film, and not meant to be.
Lucia Caminos: The Queen
A motion poster rather than a scene. Lucia's face fills the frame under a Six Stars Wanted badge, gold hoops catching the light, and the GTA VI logo sits low over a neon pink-and-purple Vice City sunset with palm trees in silhouette. She winks, smiles, and the poster breathes. It was the first piece made for this site, and the one the logo came from.
Fourteen seconds, and the site's unofficial cover art.
The Street Kings GTA6
Ten seconds of attitude. A shirtless, dreadlocked street king with a gold grill, a bandana and ink across his chest shouts at the camera in front of a graffiti wall under the overpass, throwing hand signs as the sun flares behind him. The shortest film in the vault and the loudest.
Turn the sound up.
