Hey everyone! I'm Brian Otting, writer/director/producer of IT CAME NAMELESS IN SPRING. Thanks for watching! This was my first short film and I learned a lot. AMA.

The main fight sequence was excellent, not quite sure how she escaped in the end but it looked super realistic and I bet that took a while to get right.

Intriguing, I would like to see what happens next. One minor mistake? Around 5:03 from the shadows it looks like someone tosses the backpack from the left and she climbs over from the right.

@chriscooper654 Год назад

A lovely example of "show, don't tell". The horror is compounded by the impression that the entity is so detached from the suffering its inflicted, like a traveler picking berries by the roadside while stomping on an ant colony.

@SynthoidSounds Год назад

Well done, a good example of what can be done with story and acting, without needing a lot of CGI to hold it together. If anything, it captures the essence of what people might actually go through in such an ET apocalypse scenario. This could definitely be extended much further into a feature film, or a series.

Thank you so much. Would be cool to revisit with more time to tell the story, for sure.

Not in any way realistic. She's being choked out and is the smaller of the two. No way she has the strength to do that. I might add that she doesn't exactly exude the confidence that intense physical survival training would provide. But, go ahead and make yourself feel good about some unbelievable fiction.

I loved it. Humanity succumbing to the urge of necessity, the good people repressing what makes them human in order to win the fight against destiny, against each other, and survive... I also liked the Lovecraftian monster in the sky. This is a concept that deserves a whole series.

Except the one chick didn't shoot the other chick. I was kinda left unfulfilled personally. If they are really in an ultimate struggle for survival, this isn't even a question.

@jsventer Год назад

Masterpiece. Camera work is astonishing. Mattox makes it perfect; I'm sure she'd be perfect in any major production. Main story is as sad as human history and back story is thrilling. Soundtrack matches every small movement at any second of the film. Directing can't be better.

Funny how even short films like this pick up what so many of those Netflix/Prime etc. productions do: Much too much of poorly lit conversation and just a few secs of the impressive CGI (which is ALWAYS the title pic or the thumbnail). So this will be a smash hit. Congrats.

I like how the atmosphere is established and the trapped are turning against each other. I like how only at the end do you know what is trapping them all. What is moving is that on one hand the wife is deeply in love yet finds violent strength against another innocent. Also, the husband's illness does a nice job of countering the cliche of the strong-husband protecting wife, by subtly providing a rationale why the wife volunteers to go out. Well done!
