Last week we saw the release of a teaser trailer for a live action fan film, ‘Left 4 Dead – The Movie‘.

There are probably a lot of things that have been sadly lost or forgotten online too. Anyhow, here is a list of a few of the memorable fan-produced films, machinimas, series and other multimedia created since Half-Life’s release in 1998. Enjoy!
