So glad so many folks are enjoying this; thanks from everyone on the team for checking it out! I'm Daniel, the writer/director - please feel free to AMA about the production. And to the many folks who have said this should be a show - I COULDN'T AGREE MORE! :D

@SynthoidSounds 2 года назад

By far the best variation of a "zombie" story production I've seen yet, compressed into a 15 min short. Remarkably well done, glad the ending came out as it did, certainly among the best selections that DUST has presented so far (and I've seen quite a few of them).

@roccov3614 2 года назад

I love the way the doctor gave the father a last chance to be a hero and save his child, instead of assuming that he would try to save himself and doom them all as a result.

@larrythompson8630 2 года назад

I suspect the father knew. IF he went in room. They would just burn that room as well. His child would then die. He was dead either way.

@gaelsdottir5046 2 года назад

Perhaps because I am old (boy howdy am I old), I don't want to edit this, extend it, or tell anyone involved in it what they should do next. I simply took it in, twice, once for the story and once for the art. Enjoyed it immensely, just as it is, as the writer/director, videographer, actors and soundtrack composer (and all the people leaning in HARD, right behind them) came together to create it. It is a gem, all on its own. If it leads to something more, that's wonderful. But I remember Night Gallery, and The Outer Limits, and the Twilight Zone, and the full length films "The Martian Chronicles" and "The Illustrated Man". They were all wonderful anthologies; every tale told was perfect exactly as it was. I grew up on science fiction short stories. I remember. Sometimes, perfect is good enough ;-). This is every bit as good as Serling's adaptation of Lovecraft's short story "Cool Air", which, for me, has never been surpassed. This. Is. A. Treasure.

@DThron 2 года назад

I'm a huge fan of everything you are listing here; thanks so much for the kind words. Night Gallery, Outer Limits, and TZ formed my childhood, and I wonder if you and I might be the only folks on RU-vid who remember the TV movie of Martian Chronicles - the crystal mask and the platonic-shape stones of mars are burned into my mind forever :) So glad you enjoyed the short!

@thetalkingshrimp5683 2 года назад

Well done, you set a background for this film: An existing set of protocols, encapsulated apartments, action plans when infection is triggered, an over zealous G-man, an agent who wanted to save on to the little humanity he had left, all in a few minutes, but I'm sure this has been in your head (and heart) for much longer than that.

@mauricioparra407 2 года назад

@TJ-fg3vs 2 года назад

Bloody brilliant! Such a refreshing take on the zombie genre, I honestly don't think I blinked whilst watching this fabulous short. The script was extremely well written, with enough hooks to keep me on the edge of my seat and the fantastic cinematography, added a gritty realness many Hollywood blockbusters fail to capture. The acting by the main character was especially inspired, managing to effortlessly portray a character struggling to hold on to his humanity in a post apocalyptic society. I would genuinely love to see this short developed into a feature length film! 🤩

@DThron 2 года назад

Thanks so much TJ!! :)

@renekingfisher9065 2 года назад

This should be made into a movie. This was done really well and to only see the one zombie and how they contained the situation, was by far, the best zombie movie, short movie, whatever you want to call this, in quite some time. It was intense all the way through!! Good job. Hope to see more!

@kollinmurphy117 2 года назад

Neat lil Movie. First time I've been able to complete one of these low budget productions. So that in itself says something. I was blown away that the acting was good. Better than most NETFLIX shows. Some great similarities to present time. I give this one an A. I don't hand out Bs or As very often. Worth a watch

@ehcmier 2 года назад

@maruiscordier2042 2 года назад

There are quite a few productions this year that Dust posted and I must say this production was one of those productions that you wish could have been an actual tv series. It's fresh and original and it's not that watered-down Zombie apocalypse type of story. If this was a TV series this would be a winner for sure. The acting in my opinion was equivalent to a high-budget show. A job well done to the cast and crew

@clasqm 2 года назад

I totally agree! This film trusts that the audience is going to be able to connect the dots without having to explicitly spell things out, and is free to just dive into the thick of it without having to wait for exposition.

Congratulations, I'm still in shock. Unique terror sci-fi piece here, very unique. Huge job. It has not been the first time that it has happened, the futuristic security devices, the alarms connected by routers, the self-locking of homes, the organization, identification and discarding of buildings due to risk and the coordinated response of the authorities are, from my point of view, security protocols on known events. The virus has all the earmarks of being a laboratory virus, surely weapons. The role of Coroner Rossman and deciding who lives and who doesn't, frankly difficult and hard. Security in the private sphere decided by the public administration.

The pickup after the fact is a constant theme in many modern Hollywierd stories. Knowing the back story as flashbacks in a series along with contextual storylines will help. fire lock safe like apartments, the legislation needed, the creation of the different services, the social impacts, all such angles would lead to a hell of a series and one that I would watch with signs of hope over total end of the world situation.
