 Before becoming a feature film, "Hobo with a Shotgun" was a two-minute fake trailer, with which director Jason Eisener participated in a competition held by director Robert Rodriguez to become part of the Grindhouse project, which in the U.S. was released in a three-hour version, including "Death Proof" by Tarantino and "Planet Terror" by Rodriguez himself (in our country, for commercial reasons, they were released separately) and various fake trailers, including "Machete" and indeed the aforementioned "Hobo with a Shotgun," which won the competition.
