Oats is the name of the production studio created by feature film director writer and producer Neill Blomkamp. Oats Studio will release what Blomkamp calls experimental short sci-fi films, the first of which is Rakka.
When Neil Blomkamp's Alien sequel was canceled, Sigourney Weaver asked what he was up to. After reading the script she asked to play Jasper. According to Blomkamp the Jasper part was originally written for a man. Coincidentally, so was Weaver's role of Ripley in the Alien franchise.
'Rakka' is the English spelling of a Japanese word which can mean 'Fallen' or 'Fall'. It is also an Icelandic word meaning 'Male'. Rakka = 'Fall of Man'
