Matt Jayson’s Power Ranger Short Film – “The Ranger”

In this day and age there are a lot of short films being created by fans of different properties who are now all grown up. Power Rangers seems to bring a lot of kids from the 90’s who are now fully functioning adults back in to the foray as they put their own ideas and take-aways from the show in to their own short film. There have been many awesome short films, one of the most notable being Zordon of Eltar, but today we have been gifted with another great short film – The Ranger, directed by Matt Jayson.

To set it up – it takes place 20+ years after the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and focuses mostly on the character Jason. We also hear about the fate of Billy and are hinted at a fate for Kimberly. It really show cases what a real-life version of a teenager being recruited to fight an alien army would go through AFTER losing their teenage years to a battle and then never being needed again – and it does it perfectly without coming across as “dark” or “gritty”.
