Steve (2021 Short Film)

Steve is a 2021 independent live-action survival short film based on the video game Minecraft. 
== Plot ==
The main character, Steve, spawns in the middle of a plains grassland. Not knowing what do do, Steve walks towards a tree and starts chopping it down, using the collected wood to build a bench. Using leftover wood, Steve crafts a primitive sword. In the distance, Steve finds a herd of animals. Sneaking up on them, Steve manages to chase down and kill a pig with his sword, collecting its meat. Finding a cave, Steve chops down another tree, collecting more wood and using those to craft a pickaxe, which he uses next to mine stone and craft a stone pickaxe. There just happens to be iron ore next to him, which he mines with his stone pickaxe, crafting an iron sword and shears. Steve notices from the beach that the sun is setting, so he makes more sticks, gathers charcoal, and makes torches.
The night starts to come, and Steve realizes he's surrounded by monsters. As he tries to find shelter, he is ambushed by a zombie, who Steve battles with his sword. During the battle, a creeper also sneaks up behind Steve, but Steve jumps away just in time before it explodes. Finally, Steve kills the zombie, and finds a sheep right next to him. Using his shears, he shaves some wool from the sheep and makes an amateur bed in the middle of the cave, laying down and taking a rest.
Steve wakes up to hear his mother calling him for breakfast. It is revealed that Steve is actually a little kid who's been playing Minecraft. The short film ends with Steve running downstairs to eat, with the camera focusing on a Steve action figure positioned on the kid's nightstand, standing next to a calendar dating "2012".
