- STRAY DOG - a film by bertie gilbert (2013)
*At the time of writing this, we made this film nearly six years ago. I was 16. Since then, I've grappled with my decision to incorporate Charles Manson's music. As you get older, you develop a more complex understanding of art and the circumstances in which some art was made. I had very little knowledge of who Charles Manson was at the time, a friend simply played some of the tracks and I liked how they sounded. This perhaps opens up a bigger conversation regarding separating art from the artist, but nonetheless this decision makes me pretty uncomfortable now. I'll keep this film up as it serves as a nice time capsule and I'm overall still quite proud of it, but in hindsight the music would've been sourced from somewhere else, literally anywhere else.
I simply didn't give it much thought at the time. Comes with age I guess. Goes without saying, I don't endorse Charles Manson. Duh.
Well, here it is! My first short film thingy. It's been a long ride. I hope you enjoy this film and won't be too hard on me (cos it's my first one innit).

well done bertie xox
hii phill.. so my friend and i have been really huge fans of yours since forever, and if you would.. you know..add me? it would really make me 3 bajillion times happier (:
"is love pathetic?"
"yes, if it's one sided"
Well quoted ;)
Actually yes, thanks for quoting it. I couldn't get what he was saying due to his accent and it was highly bothering me. (My english is a bit shit too)
mutual love can be pathetic as well. it numbs people.
outro br q conhece o Bertie?!
occasionally i come back and watch this little gem
+MarkE Miller Thanks for sharing this short!!! Good job Bertie Gilbert ; )
"not in a gay way, in a fantastic way." I love that line for some reason, made me smile.
me too!!
Olivia Grace me trying to hide my gayness
Yuppers
"l'm depressed."
"you're not, you're just really, really, quite sad"
me @ myself
"You're........... Be quiet."
"Yes. Call me by my full name."
how did he think of this and make this at 16...
Ikr! Like I'm 16 now and I wanna make short films but I've got no idea what to do or what I'd make one about lol
Katrina Warwick he was 1 6
Hannah Elizabeth wtf wtf wtf
he's younger than he looks
amazing job Bertie! I'll be more specific next time I see you but I loved this :) didn't feel like 13 minutes at all. really well performed, nicely shot. Great fun!
Ah, thanks Tim! Means a lot coming from you. I want to see you and the rest of the Project Library gang for a complementing session soon
Seriously mate, that was so spot on. Favourite bit of dialogue was definitely:
"She said love you"
"Just love you? No I?"
"She was a busy girl"
god bless you Sammy. Definitely will enlist your help for the next project
+Bertie Gilbert this is my favourite interaction on RUclips ever, bless you brilliant film makers :)
"you have glasses now though"
"yeah"
"I'm not over her, I'm under her."
"What does that even mean?"
lol
Probably that he feels inferior. She had the guts to ditch him therefore she's the superior one, in his opinion.
I was just up to that part when I read that XD
only just noticed that let it be references this when Dodie talks about breaking up with a guy for his best friend.
"What? A month?"
"Three"
Iconic.
Jess Lambrini hahahahahahahahaha
I like how poncho Milo progresses through different states of zipped-up-ness. It seemed that when Milo was more closed to the outside world the poncho was zipped up tighter.
I remember watching this 3 years ago and becoming obsessed with film-making. Fast forward to now I have different interests but still find myself feeling the same inspiration from this film. Considering taking an intro to production class because why not.
"She's going to feel so bad once i'm done with her."
"It sounds like your going to attack her.."
"Just 'love you'? No 'I'?" "She was a busy girl."
I thought the song playing at the beginning and end was amazing so I looked up Charles Manson and watched a couple documentaries... its past midnight and I'm scared help (this short film is absolutely gorgeous though)
LITERALLY JUST TIME TRAVELLED BY WATCHING THIS IN 2019 WOW. The NOSTALGIA
God, how lovely! I enjoyed this from start to finish, it's beautiful and funny and clever. Once again, I can NOT believe you're only sixteen.
Tom! Only just seen this. Thanks so much, friend. I adore organs so much
Omg he's only 16??!!
oh wait... this has in 2013 nvm
'not in a gay way, in a fantastic way'
ugh
Seriously he is 16 and can make short films like this, inspiration.
I can never tire of Bertie's films.
Gonna start counting how many times bertie says "I mean"
This is soooo clever! I love how when your friend is talking at the beginning, it links to when you punch him with the mask on xxx :D And at the end when you first find out about the time machine working!
Izzy Cooper parafamily
'I just fucking hate all of my best friends in the whole world!'
I can relate sometimes...
Bertie, I was SO impressed with this. This was way beyond what I expected--very insightful, and the simplicity of it as well was just amazing. Brilliant work.
I'm struggling to believe that this was November 2013, I remember how much I loved it when it first came out... still just as good 2 and a bit years on
I tink it's really interesting to go back and watch these older things. You can really tell how you've grown, not only as a storyteller, but also as an actor :)
Oooooh so well done Bertie! Thank you for being on youtube and actually making genuine and ambitious things. You inspire me a lot !!! Also the soundtrack rules so much!! \m/
i think these films are absolutely beautiful. they deserve more attention then granted.
I love this film so much. I have seen all of your films, bertie, but I always come back to this one. it makes me laugh, while still being borderline deep. it astounds me how simple yet brilliantly tied in the plot is. not only is it easy to watch, but it is thought provoking and beautiful all the same.
Wow your acting has really improved in the past several years, looking back at this and then ahead through the years, its cool to see how both your writing and acting has gotten better and better!
I remember this when you first released this, and is probably to this day my second favorite film to your latest "let it be" . Still completely captivated by the dry humor and the eerie music of Charles Manson. Brilliant Bertie, really brilliant.
The lights and sound is beautiful, the acting is amazing, and the plot is great. I've already watched this several times, and i love it so much. You're truly an inspiration, Bertie.
I loved this. Just the way it is, I see a lot of comments saying that the story needed more, But I think it was just right. I really appreciate the simplicity of it, but with still a good meaning. Hope you make more in the future :)
Other than a few logistical things, I thought this was fantastic short film Bertie. This just goes to showcase your amazing taste in visuals, structure, design, and many other aspects of film. I can't even imagine the kinds of awesome stuff you'll be pumping out in the future.
I have these kind of conversations with myself ALL THE TIME! I don't ever see a version of myself but I'm so glad I'm not the only one.
"no, i'm gonna light up a fat zoot." i had to stop the video because i was laughing so hard
This has inspired me so much to do what I want to do and finish my media studies and go do what I love at A-Level, honestly it had me speechless to think someone just one year older than me is capable of such amazing things. I love the way you filmed this, reminded me alot of some of my favorite films like drive and shame I just loved how simplistic it was but yet such a stylish film based on such a simple and relative thing, love it! Can't wait to see what you do next, might get even more inspired!
Wow. I just re-watched this and appreciate it _way_ more than the first time. It's actually inspired me to make a short film :) Hard to believe we're in the same year at school/college, seeing as you've made this masterpiece. So incredible.
Hey Bertie!
This is Xander! I already complimented you on Twitter, but just thought I'd drop by and congratulate you again on this masterpiece! It was so visually appealing and really made me think about how I will choose to direct my short films in the future! The story was basic, which gave me a chance to feel all the emotion that Milo was feeling.
P.S. The idea to have Milo wear a wolf mask, so the two of you could be on camera was genius. Fit perfectly into the script!
Again, great job!
- Xander (XanderFlicks)
This is actually amazing, I'm glad you made us wait so long for it because it created suspense! This is so so creative and you should definitely make more please
Bertie: Like a stray dog
Me: oooOOOOO THATS THE TITLE 😮
This is brilliant! I know that all videos on RUclips can't be this good, or this high of quality, but this is the kind of thing that I like seeing on RUclips. I love watching the result of passion and a true flair for film on RUclips.
There is so much to praise about this film that I might wind up with a very long comment. I'll start with the music. A strange and haunting tune with a very fraught origin. It's used so well. The pacing is confident. The story is clever. The look perfect. How could a film with multipe Berties not be charming and wonderful. Looking forward to the second Bertie Gilbert film. And the third. And many more.
probably one of your best short videos! keep doing those! they're very good and original! lovely
Watched it again, a month later, just 'cause it's brilliant! Well done again Bertie, such great quality. The soundtrack is particularly well chosen, it really helps in creating the atmosphere of the film. I'm looking forward to the next film!
Good stuff man, look forward to seeing your next bit of work! x
That was brilliant and so creative. You have so much talent, Bertie. I hope you never stop making these kinds of masterpieces because I know I'm going to watch each and every one that you make. And you're going to make something better each time, I know it. Incredible job you've done here. :)
PLEASE explain it to me i feel like I can't comprehend the genius or something and i want to know!!
i like to come back here every so often to be reminded of simpler times
An amazing Short Film! This is your first, I am most certainly excited to see what else you have to come! - I really like the development of character, story and the music was perfect. Gave me chills!
I thought this was so well done :) Love your style!
i love the use of 1 month three month thing reoccurring in your films
This is amazing! I've watched your videos for a few years and I've even met you before and I'm quite proud to say I've gone on this journey with you. Look where we are now, keep it up :'3
i loved this so much im proud of you omg at the punching mask part i was like "whoOOOOOAA OK IT MAKES SENSE IT- I- IT-" hahaha
this situation is similar to the one that the girl stated in "the 56 year old boy": " I once dated a boy I left for his best friend"
Great job Bertie, i have been waiting for this for a while and its truly spectacular for your first short film. I just wish it was longer haha ily and wish you all the best in your future. ~katherine
i used to watch your old youtube videos back in the day when u had jump cuts every 3 seconds and now that i see these im really proudof u because youve become like. extremely taleneted
This short film made me realize something very important about myself and the situation I've been in for the passed year.. Thank you so much, Bertie. Really.. Thank you.
Cant wait to see you and your name on the big screen, Bertie! You really do have talent, this was sooo good.
I've watched this 3 times. Bertie what are you doing to me >_< lol
You are fantastic, your brain is fantastic, keep doing what you are good at.
This is so amazing thank you so much for creating this. You are such a great inspiration and I will always be a fan!
That was the BEST short film I've ever seen. You truly are amazing, Bertie! You are just so mature, handsome, and just brilliant! Great job. Please continue to do more videos like this one. :)
I spent the whole film trying to work out some artsy significance of the yellow waterproof being up on Milo's head, right at the front, or completely down... Because according to my GCSE English THERE MUST BE ONE
IDK, I just thought he was dressed as Walter from Breaking Bad at the Halloween party, right?
Ahh brilliant. I was looking forward to this, you and your crew did not disappoint. Look forward to any future ones. The last three scenes were the best.
You have the talent of being able to create pieces of work like this, its magical and you're amazing. Please don't stop until you're out there making bigger films, much love and support Bertie. x
I've watched this about a million times and each time I do, I never fail to enjoy myself. The story really does make you think and the music perfectly fits the film. The thing I enjoyed the most is the cinematography, I'm a sucker for that.
And god, okay, this made me want to do better, as strange as that may sound. Or, like, your general love for filmmaking and your passion and motivation is such an inspiration for me. I wanna make films, just like you and this made me want to start as soon as possible. So thanks for that, Bertie.
Well done Bertie you done a great job, it's funny, it's smart, it's just brilliant! I truly believe you will be directing major movies someday and I'll be like oh yeah Bertie Gilbert he's an awesome guy
my biggest problem with this is the fact when Ryan had a nose bleed he kept tilting his head back, bad Bertie!
Other than that this is such a great short film, well done!
That helps to stop the bleeding
but thats what your meant to do?
+M. M. You're supposed to tilt your head forward.
Yeah. Tilting your head back makes you swallow a ton of blood, then you might throw up. I would know...
Woah, this is amazing! I really enjoyed it, the music, the story, the acting, the places, everything. You're very talented Bertie, congratulations. I hope to see more of this short films :)
This was too good. The cinematography was soo aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Great great work. Can't wait to see ur next short.
*says stray dog in film* ooohhhh shit
The way you write makes my brain whir in a peculiarly pleasant fashion. The story is poignant, compact, well-designed-- and beautifully shot. After I watched it the first time, I had to go back and watch it again. And again. Thought-provoking shit- I know I haven't picked up on everything you've poured into this. I kept getting Wes Anderson vibes, but in a fashion that's so completely yours, and IT WAS AWESOME. From one stupid young creator to another, damn fine job.
So don't stop creating, Bertie. This is just the beginning, isn't it?
this is such a lovely comment. Thank you so much. It's great to hear intelligent and thoughtful responses so thank you again for that. And no, I have already started work on the next one!
OMG this is soooo good. I want to make a short film now! Thanks for this awesome short film it brightened my day!
oh my god you started off freaking amazing and still have improved so so so much
I really like this, and I'm not going to say this because you already have a great amount of followers, because that would do nothing for your development in the future.
So, I really like the vintage tone over the entire film. From the clothes to music and the setting. I also really like the way there's no 'big' climax that doesn't make sense (there's a climax of course, just not a random one), that there's this dry humour that still makes you think of like our inner person being in conflict with yourself and your feelings.
There's just one thing, and it's not that important to be honest. It's just, I would like to have like a bit of more music in the background (it doesn't even have to be music, just some quiet beat or something).
Anyway, great done Bertie, can't wait to see more films like this in the future of yours. x
Gee, Bertie. Fantastic film. Such vision. How did you accomplish this so young? Lol love the use of Charlie Manson's music in the opening, it is actually a fantastic song despite the fact it was created by someone so disturbing. Thank you for being continuous inspiration to me to actually not just dream, but to actively chase those dreams!
Well done so proud, you've finally made a short film and such a good one too congratulations and be proud of yourself x
I absolutely loved your short film Bertie! The way you put everything together, the story line, the music and all, it's amazing! You'll come far in life with directing/acting and such! Keep up the good work
the mask made me think of Donnie Darko hah!
Very well done x
i love the choice of music
I keep coming back and watching this film. It's so insanely well-made. It has the exact feeling that I personally look for in a movie. You'll go far, Bertie. Well done.
wow! I really really enjoyed this! such a brilliant effort for a first go! please carry on making these! so amazing!
This was absolutely brilliant! Well done!
Has anybody ever told you that you bear a striking resemblance to Daniel Radcliffe?
yes
It's a drarry child
RiGht
YES
he was actually in harry potter and the deathly hallows pt 2 as Draco's son :)
The camera angles are beautifully used and Bertie your acting is amazing...this has to be my favorite short film I have seen
really proud of you bertie! this is truly amazing work; can't wait to see more in the future :) I'm glad that you're pursuing something that you are passionate about ♡
good job bertie, very nice indeed!
Quite impressive for a first film! the visuals were really good. In terms of story, the concept was interesting, and the dialogue good too, but it still could've used some work. I don't doubt you'll work on that for your next piece...keep up the good work + you guys NEED to release a behind the scenes for this!
Bertie, this is an absolutely beautiful film! The editing and the acting were both superb. Today when taking a math test I kept myself going by looking forward to watching this afterwards. It's so sincere, honest, and true even with the time-travelling storyline. It has a great balance of humor and thoughtful dialogue . Thanks for making me smile :) Seriously Bertie, you should feel very proud of yourself for this film, I've immensely enjoyed watching your videos from your start on RUclips, and seeing your editing and style change over time. Also, I loved seeing that Breaking Bad reference in the beginning ;)
that was well done, bertie. excited to see what you come up with in the future.
Wow! This is even better than I expected. For your first short film, this is very promising. Maybe a bit confusing in the beginning but i think you unraveled the story very well. I love the angles and the camerawork, also the editing gave the film a kind of artsy vibe. A job well done! I'm studying film in highschool right now and I too have to make a short film by the end of spring and this gave me loads of motivation.
Well done Bertie Bert! We are all very proud of you and how you've managed to make a lovely short film! ♡
amazing job! you're so talented, I really loved this film :)
Amazing. Loved it.
this was really great, but you definitely need to work on a few things. there was kind of a lack of symmetry of certain types of shots throughout the film. the cut down to the "time machine"/lighter on the floor was very nicely done, and very "wes anderson" which seems to be the inspiration, but it created a weird break in the style of the rest of the film, because it didnt seem to be mimicked anywhere else. Also of course the dialogue needed a bit of work to make it more realistic but that comes with it being your first film and you only being 16. I wasnt sure if the slightly offbeat dialogue was a stylistic choice or just accidental. if it was stylistc that should be made more clear. Otherwise, this was really excellently done, interesting, poignant, and at times the banter was very funny. the story line was also very neat, clean, and well written. really excellent work overall!
I love the colors and scenes, esp. the last one. The last one is SO classy...just loved it! It made me genuily happy...I'm glad I subscribed to you, keep up the good job!!
that was amazing! love the music, editing, and cinematics of it. really good job, keep them coming :)
i loved this so much woah when i saw him listening to the guy when he had the mask i was like OH MY GOD GUY WITH MASK- PUNCH- IT MAKES SENSE. anyways amazing job bertie!!! :)
I had the exact same reaction!! xD Bertie's amazing!!
