I loved this for many reasons. It was imaginative and compelling with all kinds of possibilities which my mind to explored as the story unfolded ! The dark dreary setting and ominous lighting created an atmosphere that was tangible and the soundscape filled it with textures. It was really well shot and the acting gave it depth and feeling, the story itself was very unpredictable and I enjoyed watching it play out. The only slight drawback was the dialogue wasn't too clear but I quickly clicked on the 'Captions' button to turn them on, I would not have understood much without them. I realise this was intentional as the soundtrack was an integral part of the film's atmosphere which would have been very difficult to sustain if the voices were more up front. Well done !
Ian Clarke we shouldn’t have to turn on captions to find out what’s said. They can make a movie dark but there’s such a thing as so dark you can’t see what the hell is even happening, so if you can’t see nor hear it how is that good?
@@Jillysmom63 I watch on a high quality PC with large screen and cinema surround sound. Turning up the volume to hear the voices made the room shake and widows rattle so I had to keep it to a sensible level. I could hear the voices fine but occasionally I missed a word or two which I found slightly distracting as the voices sometimes got a bit swamped by the soundscape. This has a very complex soundtrack with multiple layers and channels, there is a lot more going on in this film than most others including music videos. When you upload to YT they compress the video and audio which can sometimes have a negative effect overall, it's impossible to predict how a video will sound after YT's compression and very difficult to create a soundscape like this one with perfect vocals that will not be messed up slightly. I don't think reading the captions is too distracting and you can't blame the film makers for YT's compression or for failing to predict or compensate for YT messing up the audio. I'm sure the uncompressed version would be much better, he best way to judge the quality of audio and video is on the original cut, not the YT upload.
@@ian-c.01 oh! That was such an interesting explanation! I've always wondered about this (though didn't quite know enough to put the pieces together). I will remember this in future! Thanks! 😊
It seems a lot of these 'shorts' don't really have to have a meaning as such, leaving a lot of people confused in the comments. Maybe some of these are made by young wanabe movie makers trying to show what they 'could do' with a bigger budget.
@@raedgaj3878 It pretty obviously does have a meaning. It is about creating pathways from mathematics and mind power that you can use to go from one place to another and how a married couple of scientists experimented on people and themselves in order to develop this idea. In the process things go wrong with the mind and some peoples bodies but the question is, is that an acceptable risk ? Did you think it was a random series of unconnected events and scenes put together to show the film makers skills ?
Please consider crediting the actors. The danish actor Rudi Køhnke for his great performance, considering what he fights with in his real life. He's fighting mentally in his real life too.
Really enjoyed this one and glad I watched it . Sometimes they're "Skip", sometimes they're "Meh", sometimes they're "Errr okay", and once in a while they're "Really glad I watched that one".
Bravo! An actual story line with character development that in 19 minutes is both compelling and satisfying. The talent drips from every facet of this jewel of a production. A moment of bliss lingering on the senses, full of possibilities, changing the fabric of reality. This is art.
There's just no accounting for taste. Personally, I think this is a masterpiece. In the sense that I'd probably need to watch three dozen sci-fi shorts to find another one this good. But that's just my opinion.
What? It had none of those. The story line was what exactly? And what character development? Methinks you just want to use fancy words but don't know what they mean...
Far too often these things tell half a story or just aren't very good. But every once in a while one of these shorts actually tells a good, complete story and still leaves me wanting more. This was one of those.
Even with the lack of details of what was going on in terms of the research this was still a remarkably gripping short with characters so well portrayed with so few lines of dialogue. That I want to see more speaks volumes.
The names are evocative. Ignus - ignite - because he was literally on fire in the opening and because his ideas lit the universe on fire. I. Periant - somewhere between impertinent and imperative - the stark necessity to buck the controller of the experiments. D. Redfield - dreadful - her experiments. Diana Redfield - "Die in a red field." - because of her willingness to tread on the bodies she sacrifices. Talya - tally, one mark in the many "data points."
Dust carries the best of the best of short sci-fi films! This channel is not only underrated, but should be bought up by Netflix, Hulu or Prime. These films need to be seen. They deserve a much wider worldwide audience.
The actors in this one were really some of the best you've had....although only a few. I quite enjoyed the open ending and the missing memories adds to the confusion and urgency of the story. Maybe consider a follow up to this episode.
We were well aware that we had more than enough story and ideas for a feature. Getting funding for these isn't easy - and primaries (2 of us) hardly got any salary. Tons worked for free. It was nice doing 'scope', but how the director and set designer didn't go completely bonkers under strain is beyond me :) I hope the actors see your comment.
WOW!!!! Really, really, liked this one for all the right reasons!! Hats off to everyone associated with this masterpiece! The acting? OMG!! These thespians need to be a household name! The writing, production value, soundtrack, SFX, simply amazing!! The directions and directing just..... no words! I’ll work these great individuals any day, anywhere, anytime!!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿💯💯💯💯
I'm a bit baffled by the negative nellies in the comments who say this has no plot and it was an incoherent mess. For me, this one of the best shorts I've seen a great big while coming from DUST. The way the story unfolded with a lot of show and only a little tell was awesome and gripping, the whole idea behind the very runic-like symbols being the gateway to the fabric of space and time, and overall production values made this a real treat. The only criticism I have is about volume: either the pronunciation or the mixing of the dialog was a bit off, and when Talya was introduced, I had to turn captions on to understand what she was saying - though for me this is a small matter, as I tend to watch everything with captions on anyway. Great stuff!
I really enjoyed this short. I watched it yesterday and I'm rewatching again today and just as interested in the story and characters. Thanks for this, it is better than the majority of full length features being distributed
I’m gobsmacked by its genius acting and the consuming nightmare story. Sometimes life grabs you like this. Facing & sleighing the demonic dragons in life is beyond difficult. this was very intense too.
Very well made short-film. It's one of those movies you want to be longer, but you realize at the same time that the mystery, compact intruige and pieces left to your imagination, is what makes this movie great.
I didn't even read the title at first. When he was pulling the glowing strings from the wall I thought it was a clip from Dr. Strange. But I'm so glad to watch this short. I was hoping it would be longer. I wanted to see how he got to where he was.
🔵 The audio was all over the place, I had to turn it down because the crashing, slamming effects were too loud, but then the dialogue got buried in the background noise and I had to turn it up louder to make it out, ever aware that the background could VERY suddenly become too loud again. Also, the video was mostly WAY too dark, making it difficult to immerse oneself in the ambience of the story. Constantly having to ride-gain on the volume throughout the presentation, much of the dialog being unintelligible and the ridiculously low contrast of the video all made for very difficult viewing. The audio needs to be compressed/leveled and the video details need to be brightened up a bit.
I despise those kinds of movies. So I will advise you to invest in a better video card and monitor because I had no problem watching this dark setting. As for the sound, yeah it was a bit loud and I hate it when dialogue gets lost in the ambient audio. But again, my old analog desktop speakers did a great job, despite the bursts of loud sound. So I'm taking umbrage with your comment, not hating because I agree that what you experienced sucks. Just saying my tech is better than yours.
J.T. Harrison , 🔵 I believe your use of the word "Umbrage" is inappropriate here as "Umbrage" equates to taking something as an insult or being resentful of it,.... I don't believe you meant to express THAT strong a reaction to my comment. I keep my tablet-screen at a brightness nominal for enjoying most viewing, yet still not so bright that I use up my battery-charge too-quickly, with this presentation I had to turn the brightness up comparatively high in order to appreciate the video aspect. .... So, please understand that I DO have the ability to turn the brightness up-to QUITE an appreciable level, however, it goes through my battery rather quickly at that brightness. As for the sound, I have Altec Lansing satellites and a 12-in. Sealed ( Acoustic suspension ) subwoofer,.... But of course, the better the speakers the more annoying the inequity of the sound is,... as I like to listen to presentations such as this with the audio at an 'Immersive' volume-level.
Using a desktop with realtek board and Macke speakers. Picture dark and still viewable. As for the audio, agree with other comments. Audio needs some compression and leveling.
@@joshhayl7459 I'm using an off the shelf aged (age-ed) HP laptop with 17" screen. The battery is old so I keep it plugged in. I find no problem with either the sound or picture quality. Of course at almost 68yrs old I've seen all sorts of qualities in sound and visual content, so I can enjoy about any type of audio/visual displays, even without "Altec Lansing satellites and a 12-in. Sealed ( Acoustic suspension ) subwoofer".
Out of all the DUST shorts, this one lands firmly within my top 3 so far. Excellent composition! Dark, gritty, well-paced, thought-provoking and just the right amount of dialogue. Acting was great as well. This one would DEFINITELY make way for an amazing series and/or movie.
I really just watched for the first time now, it's been on my radar, and did try and look at it once, a while back,but I really mustn't have been paying much attention to it,or I just hadn't got a mood on me that day, that would compile me to watch it, and I just read one one guys comments, didn't read anyother, and he mentioned something about the dialogue being a little weak, but I don't know, I think the dialogue in the movie work's really well , because like the rest of the movie you made your on interpretation s up as to were it was going, and the dialogue followed suit ,the , and it compliments the movie, look the whole thing is good 👍
Curiously the very same happened to me, but, at once, I used the ff method and felt no interest about this short (not so keen to dark scenes) , I must have chosen another one to watch, can't remember which. That's why I prefer short movies 🎥 to watch. Thank you for sharing.
A film chalked full of originality, suspense, grunge, and agony, all intelligently tied to advanced string theory. Now throw in some stellar acting, rusty sets, crisp and tight camera work, scratchy sounds, gripping music, plus peach/orange light from a massive planet, - and what do you have, but a top notch riveting cinematic experience! Congrats...
FINALLY!!! Whoever did this deserves an internship with Spielberg. I watch maybe a half dozen of these shorts daily, salivating waiting for the thrill ride to pull me in, but none ever come through. I always end up confused and feeling like nothing had cohesion because there was no back story or lead in to start from. I'm floundering through the whole film for a grasp on what's happening but it never comes. Kinda like Star Wars where you have so much focus on light saber battles and indecipherable tech babble but no substance. This one KILLED IT! Id love to see new installments of this theme.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A mind puzzle short film. It seriously deserves a continuation. I always pay attention to the Danish cinema production, have found some pearls all long the years. They're specially good on mistery-crime ones too. All the production, directing and acting are following the right path on how to make a movie. Congrats to you all guys! 👏
I really enjoyed this short Dust! It had a great plot and interesting insight into the science of reality. I usually am okay and done with these shorts after I watch them cause they typically have some closure but I feel this short could very well be continued and added on with some more backstory and has a looooot of potential to be turned into something great. Please let the storymaker and writers and producers know that many of us would love to see more exploration into this short and story. I believe this could truly be turned into a hit tv series with even possibilities of movie contracts and deals. Y'all keep up the fantastic work I love seeing new content from y'all Dust!!
@@toddy2519 the bare whisper of one maybe. Dirty scientist/magician tries to escape prison hell where humans are experimented on horrifically, while also tryingvto remember why he is there?
Really enjoyed this. Acting, lighting, soundtrack, camera, FX. 😎👍 Had to turn on Captions partway through though. Some fine-tuning re: audio compression on the VOX mix would be good in spots. (2c)
This goes to places traditional SF used to not be afraid to go. To the interface between minds, maths and the psyche, without losing the SF twist. Kudos for the revival.
@Clock Murph The purpose of Dust is to showcase shorts by other people. They might have produced one themselves, but the purpose of the channel is to show off videos by other people
Its a crying shame that RUclips's compresssion completely destroys the quality of the low light scenes - of which there are many in this film Enjoyable and confusing. Very Good.
Very gripping imagery and the cinematography and editing was perfect...the ending was a beginning. Nice little nugget thrown to Ray Bradbury.....the number on the cell door was 451...from Ray's ''Fahrenheit 451''.
Holy Sh**, this was mind-blowing. This is where the far corners of ones mind can take them. I was glued to this I’d be upset if this wasn’t made into a full length!! Please oh please Dusty, hear me now 😳
@Peter A. apparently you don't. Awesome. Extremely impressive or daunting. Inspiring great admiration, apprehension, or fear. Awesome as slang is not what I meant. Awesome's _actual_ definition is what I meant 👍🏻 Get it?
Dr Ignus Periant is learning how to bouncing between multiple realities in what looks to be a prison in outerspace by making marking from a notebook and then grabbing the new dimension with his hand ..Jumping between realities.he is disoriented a tad....he sees a monster in the hallway ..During a jump he loses his notebook ...but jumps to another prison cell where he meets a woman who apparently has the same marking on her body and who has been successfully avoiding the monster in the hallway by jumping To escape the monster in the hallway Dr Ignus carves the portal markings using the woman's blood on her back to force both to jump.. She retrieves his notebooks during the jump only to be separated. from him.at the end of the jump. Dr periant finds himself in his office with research paper by him and his Dr Diana Redfield ...One of Dr Redfield papers covers the research about the woman whom he had just met in the last jump with the portal markings on her body..When he leaves the office he sees this same woman slumped on the floor with Dr. Redfield holding his notebook . Redfield is his wife . She complains since he would not share his discovery with her she was taking it . Dr Ignus justifying not sharing because he wanted to only use it to help people in the medical ward and he wanted to avoid hurting people. His wife refutes him saying lives need to be sacrificed. Dr Ignus draws his own blood to activate the portal on the woman slumped on the floor and both escapes
Very intriguing and now I want more of the story. It's fine to have a universe where science and magic have a blurred line. I just want to know more now about this universe and what's going on.
Considering that we humans do not fully comprehend the intricacies of consciousness itself and psychology being not as well-advanced compared to other bodies of science, this video is a wonderful imagination of our attempts to understand the lovecraftian unknown.
Amazing! Its a shame the writer didnt get more than a quick credit at the end, brilliant story well told. Lets hope the key players on this team get together for more!!
And why did I sit through this? What more do I know, now? What insight into anything do I have now? What horrors await with future technology? None of these questions are answered. Cheers, Maui Bill
absolute brilliancy, it is the inside of the mind i've always been interested in, and when we leave this life we go back inside(home), now we are outside of ourselves, or literally out of our minds...which is kind of ironic but so true !! I'd give you Oscar for this master piece !
After catching this, i now have a complete & total understating of string theory. All my questions & doubts concerning this untested theory along with the spooky action at a distance are now answered & i am at peace & untangled bliss.
I love everything about this one: Lovecraftian horror and insanity blended with scifi. Great acting, brilliant atmosphere, really nasty plot. I'd love to see more from this crew.
I have never commented on a DUST film before, and I have enjoyed many of them. This one was for me, particularly engaging. I loved it. The actor playing the central character was very good.
I pride myself for looking down my nose at Dust comments. "This should be a full length movie!" "Wait, what happens next?" "Why isn't this a series?" No one can just sit with the PART of the story they just saw, and appreciate it, and maybe use thier imagination. Yet THE FABRIC cleverly raises as many questions and possibilities, as it answers. I am okay with just this, and I'd also love more of this world. One aspect that doesn't seem to come up in comments--what is the "monster" who says "Set me free"? (I thought it was a form of Ignus, or some alien life affectyed by his stringpulling).
2 simple dialog insertions from the wife would have fixed most of the questions: 1) - "Surely the memory drug has worn off by now..." 2) - "You should be glad I was able to use your previous research to stop the Pryor in time." That would've explained why he doesn't remember anything, why she put him in a cell, how Talya knows him, and confirm that neither of them is the Pryor nor it's a hallucination.
I really have this love hate feeling with videos like these. Love it because I enjoy the cosmic horror concept and the numerous possibilities the story could go, and hate it because I feel like there won't be a full length movie about this fabric concept. It pains my heart so that such creativity lack the fame it deserves.
Transdimensional marital dysfunction and intrigue . . . complete with a moral compass dichotomy. Not exactly original subject material, but uniquely presented. Very nice tech work, production quality. The "wife" actress is the perfect character for the part. BTW, very buff looking, definitely spends some time in the gym.
Watched it twice, working on my 3rd... I would love to see this either made into a feature length film or series if at all possible... This is a very good premise with many excellent possibilities...

@Peter A. Well, Nick said that he enjoyed it so you can infer which category was the film for him, right?)
I love how dark it is, bc when he got in the air vent it reminded me of playing metal gear solid as a kid and I always loved that.

I guess some people's minds can't do science fiction / fantasy. My mother couldn't understand humour. I couldn't imagine a life without laughter.

Lol. That's not string theory.
Sheldon Cooper - I beg to differ!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A mind puzzle short film. It seriously deserves a continuation. I always pay attention to the Danish cinema production, have found some pearls all long the years. They're specially good on mistery-crime ones too.
All the production, directing and acting are following the right path on how to make a movie. Congrats to you all guys! 👏
This is why I wish dust made more sequels
The fabric as in like time travel in a way.... Honestly see alot of potential in this omg i want to see more this is great
I really enjoyed this short Dust! It had a great plot and interesting insight into the science of reality. I usually am okay and done with these shorts after I watch them cause they typically have some closure but I feel this short could very well be continued and added on with some more backstory and has a looooot of potential to be turned into something great. Please let the storymaker and writers and producers know that many of us would love to see more exploration into this short and story. I believe this could truly be turned into a hit tv series with even possibilities of movie contracts and deals. Y'all keep up the fantastic work I love seeing new content from y'all Dust!!
@@toddy2519 the bare whisper of one maybe. Dirty scientist/magician tries to escape prison hell where humans are experimented on horrifically, while also tryingvto remember why he is there?
Really enjoyed this. Acting, lighting, soundtrack, camera, FX. 😎👍
Had to turn on Captions partway through though. Some fine-tuning re: audio compression on the VOX mix would be good in spots. (2c)
Same. As soon as she arrived I had to turn on subtitles.
This goes to places traditional SF used to not be afraid to go. To the interface between minds, maths and the psyche, without losing the SF twist. Kudos for the revival.
Okay DUST THAT'S IT.... I CHALLENGE YOU TO MAKE A FULL LENGTH MOVIE.... DO YOU ACCEPT?
Not fair to make awesome flicks..lol
Dust doesn't make these shorts. You know that, right?
@Clock Murph The purpose of Dust is to showcase shorts by other people. They might have produced one themselves, but the purpose of the channel is to show off videos by other people
Dust doesn't make these. They just collect them and put them all in one place.
Dust is similar to an art show or a convention
Grateful to have this back - annoyed my words from first upload lost
Excellent! If I've watched 100 scifi shorts, this is top 5. Great story, intrigue, acting, and pace.
Adds new meaning and depth to the word amazing
What a wonderful piece. Riveted from the start - this is my first time watching DUST - bravo!
I love this movie, in the end he gave it as a gift as he is the real writer he dont need it to be strong...because he is strong enough
Never seen a movie where magic is depicted that mystical, precarious and scarcely comprehensible even for the caster. A masterpiece.
Very good actors. Hollywood needs new talent like these ppl
I love DUST!!!
If they made full length movie dust would be great.
nah this should be a series
Why always like this DUST? Its all for youtube only?
Its a crying shame that RUclips's compresssion completely destroys the quality of the low light scenes - of which there are many in this film
Enjoyable and confusing. Very Good.
I’m so hooked this is my new fav channel such originality and hard work
Very gripping imagery and the cinematography and editing was perfect...the ending was a beginning. Nice little nugget thrown to Ray Bradbury.....the number on the cell door was 451...from Ray's ''Fahrenheit 451''.
Beautifully done.
Holy Sh**, this was mind-blowing.
This is where the far corners of ones mind can take them. I was glued to this
I’d be upset if this wasn’t made into a full length!!
Please oh please Dusty, hear me now 😳
Peter A. Average maybe to an average mind 😳😳😳😳😳
@Peter A. Average??? No way. This is awesome, in the most literal sense of the word.
lol ur funny the means the ur brain still haven ben used
😳😳😳😳😳
@Peter A. apparently you don't. Awesome. Extremely impressive or daunting. Inspiring great admiration, apprehension, or fear.
Awesome as slang is not what I meant. Awesome's _actual_ definition is what I meant 👍🏻 Get it?
Dr Ignus Periant is learning how to bouncing between multiple realities in what looks to be a prison in outerspace by making marking from a notebook and then grabbing the new dimension with his hand ..Jumping between realities.he is disoriented a tad....he sees a monster in the hallway ..During a jump he loses his notebook ...but jumps to another prison cell where he meets a woman who apparently has the same marking on her body and who has been successfully avoiding the monster in the hallway by jumping To escape the monster in the hallway Dr Ignus carves the portal markings using the woman's blood on her back to force both to jump.. She retrieves his notebooks during the jump only to be separated. from him.at the end of the jump. Dr periant finds himself in his office with research paper by him and his Dr Diana Redfield ...One of Dr Redfield papers covers the research about the woman whom he had just met in the last jump with the portal markings on her body..When he leaves the office he sees this same woman slumped on the floor with Dr. Redfield holding his notebook . Redfield is his wife . She complains since he would not share his discovery with her she was taking it . Dr Ignus justifying not sharing because he wanted to only use it to help people in the medical ward and he wanted to avoid hurting people. His wife refutes him saying lives need to be sacrificed. Dr Ignus draws his own blood to activate the portal on the woman slumped on the floor and both escapes
OMG THANK YOU. That really helped clarify. That he is using his blood to get him and Talya out at end gives some closure.
They both escape? She's dead
Yep. Want the sequel !
How can they have soooooooooo many awesome works that can be made into a movie/series but they don't become one
11:26 "that smell" lmao my boi getting some memories back from his wife 😂
😂
I beg your parents didn't know you have such a perverted mind
@@НадіяБеца wow dude really? That's messed up, do you know what a joke is?
@@nitropticsDo you know what post irony is?
My comment was a joke;)
@@НадіяБеца lol wut a lame joke. wat r u 12
Very nice!
Outstanding.
Very intriguing and now I want more of the story. It's fine to have a universe where science and magic have a blurred line. I just want to know more now about this universe and what's going on.
Considering that we humans do not fully comprehend the intricacies of consciousness itself and psychology being not as well-advanced compared to other bodies of science, this video is a wonderful imagination of our attempts to understand the lovecraftian unknown.
How is this "magic" ...
MOOOORRRRE! Full movie or a series please!
Amazing! Its a shame the writer didnt get more than a quick credit at the end, brilliant story well told. Lets hope the key players on this team get together for more!!
Vocês tem que entender que o Dust é o melhor canal do youtube💛💚💛💚💛💚
Terrific!
Every film I’ve watched from DUST so far has been Awesome
19 minutes of my life that I’ll never get back!
☹️
A dull and confusing mess that was anything but a joy to watch.
I know this kind of goes against the grain for these short films, but you guys should do a 'part 2' for this one. Since that was amazing.
And why did I sit through this? What more do I know, now? What insight into anything do I have now? What horrors await with future technology? None of these questions are answered.
Cheers,
Maui Bill
This is gonna become Mage the Awakening inspiration for me. Thanks Henrik Bjerregaard Clausen and the production team!
absolute brilliancy, it is the inside of the mind i've always been interested in, and when we leave this life we go back inside(home), now we are outside of ourselves, or literally out of our minds...which is kind of ironic but so true !! I'd give you Oscar for this master piece !
After catching this, i now have a complete & total understating of string theory. All my questions & doubts concerning this untested theory along with the spooky action at a distance are now answered & i am at peace & untangled bliss.
I love everything about this one: Lovecraftian horror and insanity blended with scifi. Great acting, brilliant atmosphere, really nasty plot. I'd love to see more from this crew.
I just wanted to say that this is my favourite short movie ever. And I've seen many...
I want a full 2h movie about this story!
Thanks for existing ! I love what DUST do.
This is some "Expanse" level stuff. I'd love to see more of this, series, feature film, anything. Excellent!
I have never commented on a DUST film before, and I have enjoyed many of them. This one was for me, particularly engaging. I loved it. The actor playing the central character was very good.
Frightening, terse and satisfying. I liked the ending!
Well done. Original. entertaining
Really Cool Thanks!!!
wow, unique, original, well done
I pride myself for looking down my nose at Dust comments. "This should be a full length movie!" "Wait, what happens next?" "Why isn't this a series?" No one can just sit with the PART of the story they just saw, and appreciate it, and maybe use thier imagination. Yet THE FABRIC cleverly raises as many questions and possibilities, as it answers. I am okay with just this, and I'd also love more of this world. One aspect that doesn't seem to come up in comments--what is the "monster" who says "Set me free"? (I thought it was a form of Ignus, or some alien life affectyed by his stringpulling).
Carnt work out if the prison is in his mind & all his string theories are driving him insane, interesting film.
I would think about this one once each year - i'm happy I found it again :) 10/10
2 simple dialog insertions from the wife would have fixed most of the questions:
1) - "Surely the memory drug has worn off by now..."
2) - "You should be glad I was able to use your previous research to stop the Pryor in time."
That would've explained why he doesn't remember anything, why she put him in a cell, how Talya knows him, and confirm that neither of them is the Pryor nor it's a hallucination.
NICE! Great job Dust! Would totally watch if a whole movie! Wish there were sequels to these short films.......
I want to see a next "episode"!!!
I got DUST addicted, but this short must have a continuation!
I really have this love hate feeling with videos like these. Love it because I enjoy the cosmic horror concept and the numerous possibilities the story could go, and hate it because I feel like there won't be a full length movie about this fabric concept. It pains my heart so that such creativity lack the fame it deserves.
When artistry becomes more important than just telling a good well written story, you get garbage. Music is this way now too.
But is it really artistry if the craft is not mastered?
I wish this was a whole series so badly
Transdimensional marital dysfunction and intrigue . . . complete with a moral compass dichotomy.
Not exactly original subject material, but uniquely presented. Very nice tech work, production quality.
The "wife" actress is the perfect character for the part. BTW, very buff looking, definitely spends some time in the gym.
so what other films have covered this topic? you say not exactly original... not arguing just very curious.
A filmmaker's film - one that ticks all the boxes - and will definately be on my rewatch list! Great story, great acting, great production values!
Great short video.
Cool vid!
Now you know the reality changes I'VE been dealing with the last 30 years....
Fascinating premise and a very creative flick... I really enjoyed this!!!!
Watched it twice, working on my 3rd... I would love to see this either made into a feature length film or series if at all possible... This is a very good premise with many excellent possibilities...
This good love it when a dust short leaves you wanting more
Incomprehensible.
Good. Very intriguing. Tells a very intense story but a lot stays untold, so there's room for own fantasy too
Masterpiece through and through..Bravo.
Wow. Another good one. MAN, YOU GOTTA FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED!
I need a series about this!
Absolutely lovecraftian but not in an obvious way. Love it!
A triumph of special effect over storyline.
