Hey y'all! Director and writer here, this was my directorial debut as my thesis film for the University of Texas at Austin's RTF program. We made this in about 4-5 months of time back in 2018 (including all post-production). There's definitely a lot I wish I could go back and change, but I'm very happy with what we were able to create with our team. Please feel free to ask any questions! Oh, and there's quite a few easter eggs in here too ;)

@davidparrella2348 3 года назад

My favorite easter egg - Kim Crow, the voice of the computer, was the original "Bitching Betty" cockpit warning voice, and the cockpit voice warning for NASA's Space Shuttle! Really cool to work with her, she already knew exactly what to do of course.

@Ragnar_Helsson 3 года назад

I'm honestly lost. Was there actually radiation? If not then what was giving off the radiation signatures and where did everybody go? So many unanswered questions.

@rickmoskovits1144 3 года назад

Mr Parrella, absolutely first rate work! any chance of a continuation of this story line? the only living thing that Commander Shepard finds is a calico cat in a record store........you said there might be some easter eggs, any chance of one of those eggs......? Regardless you have a great future ahead of you with such an exceptional piece of film making.

@davidparrella2348 3 года назад

@@Ragnar_Helsson There was definitely radiation, probably not at the same level as it was when it "wiped out" the population. We didn't have enough time to explore all of the ideas we had (we actually had a 12 minute limit we blew by) so leaving it open to interpretation was one of the only ways to make it fit. I know, I hate that stuff too haha, but in the end the more important story is the relationship and the rest is kind of meant to be abstract. As a hard sci-fi nut though, I also wish we could've given a more concrete explanation.

Super good story, up until the end… so I love a good plot twist but this was not that. It’s just another very vague ending. I am a lover of sciFi, but the highly vague endings don’t help your cause. They create frustration. Is that the goal? I am all for stories that make us think, but when the possible meanings are many, then I consider it to be poor writing. Either 1) give more clues, 2) let us KNOW a “part 2” is coming which will help to clarify , or 3) some other possibility I haven’t thought of that makes logical sense to your audience. I’ll give it a 6/10.

While there were some logic issues (getting sent to investigate sources of lethal radiation without a radiation-proof suit?), this was a really interesting setup for a story. Well filmed, great cgi work, good suspense/pacing. What it was severely missing was an actual closing to the story, though. Kinda feels like it wrapped up because it ran out of time but had much more to tell still.

If they lost communication with Earth, why couldn't Commander Shepard use the communication array on earth to reestablish communication with the colony?

Re #1, Didn't they say early on in the film that it was a fuel/trajectory/timing issue? Re #3, If the radiation dose was that massive, he was probably dead within hours--maybe even minutes. Probably couldn't have made it to the comm array. On a side note, where were all the dead people? I mean, if it was radiation that killed everyone.

One of the best I've seen on Dust so far. The film had a couple of holes that left a few questions (beyond the obvious ones) unanswered, but overall, that's a small nit. The writing was genuine and convincing, the acting excellent. The film benefits greatly from understated yet effective design and photography, and of course a compelling narrative. Parrella is an innovative director with an eye for detail. He has managed to give equal weight to both suspense and character development, creating a captivating and engrossing short film. 4.4/5

All I have to say is that the actor who played the father is very handsome. 😁

This is another example of why I find some of Dust's offerings less then stellar. No payoff at the end. Not even a vague resolution that leaves the viewer wondering did he or didn't he? I hate these and I want my 12 minutes and 24 seconds back.

Oh, I thought the guy we were watching WAS the son, just aged up due to the 32 light year travel he had to do and he trying to make a message to send to the colony, but stayed to look for his dad.

I am puzzled by comments that want more ... Greater length, additional explanation, a closed story. For me, minimalism is a noble and worthy art form. Open ended ness is an invitation by the artist for the observer to co-create. Like the telling of a harrowing hunt at an evening campfire that is retold and rewritten, becoming the stuff of legends, fables, parables, wisdom and entertainment. I am more than content with this work as it is. A story that continues, grows and changes those who hear it and share it. Kudos!!

@Mechknight73 3 года назад

For such a short film, you've packed a lot into it. At some point, it could be fun to revisit the story

@Rep0007 2 года назад

Sound design - EXCELLENT!! That is what hooked me into watching this. The luscious soundscape. : )

So they created a star in a building somehow without the gravity that goes with it? Lol

Maybe it was some new nuclear reactor that had a runaway reaction. Or fusion. Or one of those planned colliders like the Hadron super collider except these new particles created emot cosmic rays instead of the more containable x-rays

@mishie618 2 года назад

@@lillyanneserrelio2187 exactly what I was thinking. There's a lot we don't yet understand and even the brightest minds will eventually take things to a level that destroys us all. It's not hard to fathom at all. Imagine.. the only thing I found hard to believe is it would he above ground and in a warehouse but it could just be me seeing it a bit too literally. Scary things yet it would be amazing if we found and settled on a habitable planet before something like this happened..

@Rep0007 2 года назад

Yeah this whole film is totally anti-nuclear. Bravo for that!

This is why we need time machines...to get back the time wasted on short films that tell less than half the story.

@kevincozens6837 3 года назад

Nice story. There could be a part 2 where we see the sons mission. I wonder if the drone would have enough power to last until the next mission arrives so it could transmit the collected data that included the radiation source. There seemed to be one mistake(?) in the short. We see the shuttle going up but Shepherd was in the car apparently driving away from where the shuttle had landed.

@bruceb7464 2 года назад

Yeah - that's right. He knew he couldn't investigate the source of the radiation and get to the ship in time so he decided to sacrifice himself and investigate the source of the radiation in the hope that he would be able to get that important information to his home world by sending the information to the ship while still in communications distance. That ultimately failed.
