This is an excellent short. It starts & seems to end in nearly the same place. Along the way, we learn about the main characters plight. In nearly the same way he does. It's mind boggling to think of traveling that far into space & the effects it would have on the travelers. This is a good story on so many levels 👏

A really impressive story line, silky smooth acting, beautiful timing and delicious colouring - thank you all for your talent.

The premise of Mark's memory wipe in this video reminds me of an old story: A man opened his eyes & found himself alongside a forest path, sitting on a tree trunk that had long since fallen over. He didn't know where he came from, where he's was going, how far he'd gone already (but it must have been quite a distance because he was tired). Thinking about his situation further, he realized that he didn't even remember his name, his age, where he lived. Then he heard the scratchy-sounding voice of a woman, which startled him a bit..."So now, what is your third wish?" When he first opened his eyes his head was bowed while he was thinking & trying to remember but now he raised his head to see a withered old crone standing nearby. Quickly taking in his situation, he asked the crone "What do you mean by my 'third wish?' How could it be my third wish if I hadn't used the first two?" The crone replies, "After you got your first wish, you wished for everything to return to the state it was *before* your first wish. So that was your second wish & you don't remember either of them because even your memory was returned to the same state as it was. So now you only have one wish remaining." This confused the man because he could scarcely believe what the crone was saying. After all, he didn't believe in magic or have any superstitions to speak of. But his curiosity was piqued & he decided to see if the crone really could fulfill a person's wishes. "Alright," he said, "I wish to know who I am & why I'm here." "That's funny," the crone cackles just a moment before fulfilling his wish & disappearing forever..."That was your *first* wish." 😱

Fantastic story, excellent photography, great acting top-class production lovely soundtrack. Blake l love your take on Sci Fi. Please give us more.

Hope you've all enjoyed watching Psychosis, I'm here to answer any questions :)

You can't just leave it there. I was so involved in the storyline and the abrupt ending has left me feeling very discombobulated. There has to be a continuation in the pipeline. I am impressed by the quality and skill of everyone involved in the making of this film. Full marks to all.

Very very cool story line. Scripting was realistic with a solid cadence. The tech wasn’t too outlandish that it couldn’t be possible in the near future. The acting was excellent. (I feel like there is fine line when acting in an AI role - either super stiff and detached or going totally robot rouge without any mechanical inclination). The AI barkeep and AI wife/bar hostess found a very convincing medium. The captain played panic, confusion, discovery and finally defeated resignation to a ‘T’. Thanks for sharing!

I wish my wife liked these short films as much as I do. These are pretty amazing. Thank you for giving us such great content for free!! It really helps through Covid.

Great story, with strong twists. Congrats on your cameo :) All actors were fantastic, and the setting made a great place for the action. Excellent job!

I really loved your short film "The English Teacher ". Now i'm watching this one. Let see 😊😊😊

I love it, these are my fav type of films, this was well executed and the team understood the assignment. Keep up the excellent work 👏👏👏👏👏looking forward to more episodes or rather a full feature film🤗🤗🤗🤗

Another great film Blake! Always love the music you choose! ❤

I absolutely love it Blake!! Everything about it is so cool 🔥🔥🔥

Another top notch short from Ridder Films. I enjoy your work very much, sir!

Your best grading to date.. can’t believe you pulled this off in a day and edited in two days!

That was awesome!!!! I don't say this often, but this deserves to be a full length movie. Great story idea and nice actors!

Once again Blake, another top notch film. You never disappoint me, you deserve all the success in the world as well as the talented actors in your films. I can’t wait for the next one!

The final revelation comes after a slow and subtle path to discovery. I absolutely loved it!!!! Definitely subbed! On behalf on those who have seen or yet to see this.... more, please? Be well.

I have watched this movie several times, it’s soooo grand! I look forward to more science fiction. Thank you!

Bravo! Creative, unique concept/story. Excellent acting, cinematography, and direction. Thank you Ridder films. More please

Awesome Sci-Fi Blake! It was awesome ,and the acting and premise was great. Also I like the fact that you are like Hitchcock and Stephen King and cameo in your movies.

Excellent again guys!! I just watched again- great cinematography, acting was nice and small. Two great leads- loved the subtlety- great soundtrack!

this was great! i could totally see this as a full feature length film!

I'm becoming addicted to your films! I love your little cameos. I hope you keep doing them.

From someone who writes stories with similar twists and mind-wrenching plots. Bravo and very well done.

I really enjoyed it. An intriguing story that kept you watching. Very slick direction that was unobtrusive and calm which enhanced the sense of control by the AI's in contrast to the 'captains' state of confusion. The impressive lighting gave great depth. The lead was very good, underplaying something that would have been internally frightening gave it more power. Great work all round.

Great short! And my favorite genre! Kudos to you! I'm waiting for more work from you! Plus you have a new subscriber! ❤

Clear and fantastic.. love it❤️

Fantastic storyline and brilliant acting - love it! 😍

Brilliant work. We all have the power to once through life events overwrite the program and be aware of the sim room.

Awesome film, absolutely fantastic. You are the best of the best! Awesome actors, especially Sarah.❤️❤️

Haven't enjoyed many shorts lately, but this writing & acting in this one kept me captivated until the end.

Excellent story. Well acted and produced. Kudos to all involved.

I did not see that coming. As always, the cast is fantastic and the writing engaging. Well done

Masterpiece, hats off guys

You are all very gifted. Great short film ! ❤️🙏 J♡

With those eyes Sarah Alexandra Marks can project an entire novel in a glance.

Now that was new and well done

An engaging tale, thanks!

Absolutely brilliant short SciFi reel, cheers Blake, storytelling skills to the moon, Tip the Fedora.

Such a brilliant concept. We need more imaginative writers like this.

Intelligent, thought provoking, very polished short film. More please....xxx

Great Film, keep them coming

I would say it’s so clever to have Chairman Mao‘s appearance on the wall, as this has indicated AI is universally powerful to be crossing nations and eras.😎👍

👏🏻👏🏻Holy wow!! Excellent!

Tremendous in the way he finally broke the simulation! Always trying, always moving forward 🙂

Your work is great. Wow.

I loved it s one of those films you realy have to listen , very thought provoking stuff excellent acting And music 🎶 great 👍

Good movie, thanks for posting.

Love this brilliant 👏

Excellent on so many levels

This was intergalactic. Very cool!

One of the few shorts that can stand alone, virtually complete. Does not leave me hanging.

I liked this, Very Good, Thank you.

Every sci fi film that is happening in a bar is excellent!

Absolutely feckin brilliant, dude.

Proper enjoyed watching this one ☝️🤩💫

This reminds me of a movie that I watched, it has me thinking about how a projection might actually have a blank face, and how a human face has so many nuances to it even when emotions aren’t being displayed. My mind also took a different bend in Considering the narrative. What is the main character really isn’t in a spaceship, and really is having a psychotic moment from an alternate reality. It would be yet another twist in the story plot

Loved it... will there by more episodes

Thoroughly enjoyed this! With a 'Black Mirror' feel. 🧡

Blake Ridder is the best RU-vid channel for high quality splendid movies👍😍

I enjoyed that a lot! It's dreary, but with some hope thrown in; albeit slim. Good acting and nice writing. Very nice over-all package!

Excellent work guys....lots of love 🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱

nice work!

Well... that escalated quickly!! Well played, Sir... Well played.

/ this is great. well done.

Great short!!!

This is one of the best shorts I have seen.

Fantastic!

Imaginative, smart, and definitely trippy!!👍👍👍

Next level thought great work💯

Outstanding performance orbiting an unexpected plot twist!

You have brilliant actors & story. We want full film of Psycosis plz😭

Love it good job

This was a great short. I enjoyed every second. Thank you to all the independent movie makers that do such wonderful work.

AMAZING!

Very well done

Having gone through psychosis from questionable consumption induction of questionable things in the past (still get flashbacks). Blake…you got somethin here! Astounding work on filming my weird dream perceptions that I’ve not the tech to do so…. Absolutely brilliant stuff! And a big thumbs up for reminding me of my past! Really weird De-Ja-Vu! 😎👍👍👍

Love the "Overlook Hotel" vibe!

this is great! Any plans for next part? You should do full-tie movies, not shorts. This is better than cinema million-dollars movies! Love it!

amazing!

I love how comforting Danny and Sarah Alexandra play here. Both questions and answers seem logical, but with that advanced programs and technology, repairing faulty tech seems like something you could do depending on the timeframe of incoming dark thoughts. But as stated. First time. ( Yes, i am being vague here to avoid spoilers. )

I enjoyed this one. Clever.

Passengers...

This was really good, but one question I can't find an answer to is what was that song in the movie/over the end credits and who performed it? Is it exclusive to the movie or can I buy it somewhere?
