Poor guys. You know, when the simulation is about to end, the programmers stop worrying about global warming, natural disasters and infectious diseases.
I agree. Could be like a thing even where the devs help her make the world a better place by giving her higher privileges within the sim. Kind of like what the devs did for Moses.
Maybe the Devs are in a Sim themselves and know how to gain that authority themselves and give it to someone in one of their own Sims to see how it would affect them. Then again, that is the theorized background for DDLC and most of the premise of a webcomic I read once but couldn't finish due to it being centered on a romance I didn't get invested in.
Someone , back in 1972 if I recall correctly , once said , " The Universe is a Vast Probability Engine designed to generate Life and Advanced Intelligent Life with Free Will ." At the time I thought he was merely sharing an unusual Theoretical Model which attempted to define our Universe . Now I am not so sure anymore . He told me many things and we shared many ideas he was a good man and I miss him as I miss many in my life that are no longer with us . The last thing he ever said to me was , " We broke a lot of rules . We rolled the dice hard . Don't be stupid , I can't return . There are Time Constraints which are ill Defined .

Luv this! I often think "WTF?" as I reflect on the absurdity of what I see going on all around me... It's like a badly written drama that would be rejected by any sane producer... "is ANY of this real" is on point. THANKS!
@@bruitation I've felt that way since middle school. But since then, I've seen some pretty absurd things that didn't involve humans. Don't get me wrong. Human behavior still accounts for over 98% of the absurdity of this world. But there's some natural absurdities out there too.
covid-19 is a glitch...we will have it repaired shortly. Well it could take 50 plus of your Earth years, but promise it will come right. Otherwise we will need to end the simulation. You won't be harmed either way...
I'm in simulation number 65 and I'm wondering if I'm going to get my update next year but then again aren't we all.... this has serious Hitchhikers Guide to the universe meets Black Mirror with a bit of Monty Python vibe to it and I love it OMG can you imagine a series of this?!!
Thanks so much Arnold! I'm a huge fan of all those so that's amazing to hear. Monty Python specifically was a huge reason I got into filmmaking when I was younger!
Most people have already got their upgrade…courtesy of liquid crystal and graphene oxide in the Covid vaccines. It’s giving everyone a unique ID and a direct connection to the system. Sounds sci-fi…but the future is actually now. 🙂
you actually forgot a fair bit of Truman Show aswell. You could make a series, each season she gets uploaded to the next untitled earth sim, with either more or less glitchy stuff, a little bit like "Sliders". This however was very well done, and a continuation would be awesome, no matter if longer or in a series.

"Untitled Earth Sim 64" was created by the talented Jonathan Wilhelmsson and his team. Be sure to follow his instagram to check out more of his "unreal" creative endeavors: instagram.com/jonathan.wilhelmsson/
To the commenter who said this was predictable: EVERY “oh shit we are living in a simulation” story is predictable. The question is: how fun is it? And how heartwarming? By that standard this 6 minute video is the best simulation story I’ve ever seen. I laughed out loud so many times! I was starting to question the wisdom of my sci-fi-shorts-on-RUclips habit, it was getting a bit dull and routine, but this redeemed it all for me.
I don't know if it was my favorite, but it was so darling and happy, as opposed to the dark distopian vibe many sifi shows have. The scariest thing was a giant kitty-cat? I mean, other than the fear of instant death. And the programmer was flirting with her: he got her a drink with an umbrella in it! For a programmer nerd that's next level flirting.
"Ah sorry, but it seems your world Untitled Earth Sim 69...nice...has been actually scrapped as we are skipping straight to Untitled Earth Sim Series-X and will be switching to an entirely new operating system. So sorry about you only getting like 4 days of existence with all of the plague, fires, and flesh-eating dinosaurs crammed into a single space. But with the next leap in hardware, we'll be able to put this entire mess behind us and have a good laugh." "So...I get to live in a newer...better world?" "Oh no, sorry, is that what you thought? No. I was actually talking to our tech guy Brad at that last bit. Yeah. Unfortunately, you're gonna be trapped in an eternal looping hellscape of infernos, dinos, and something called 'Country Music' for eternity when we cut support for your platform."
Your comment made me laugh almost to the point of Tears because I could understand what you meant... This short film has so much potential 2 become either a movie or a series
This is so much fun! Very clever writing, excellent editing for pace and comedic timing. The acting is also brilliant! Very well done! This is my favorite in the "DUST" stable so far.
@@JonathanWilhelmsson What is interesting is that I made that comment before reading your pinned description! I just watched your behind the scenes video as well. Very inspirational. I am even more impressed. Now I need to go off and do something half as clever!
Had a very "Matrix"-like feel to it, but with enough of a quirky sense of humour thrown in to make it very watchable. Good FX work, too! Nothing too over-the-top, just enough to drive the point home. Well done!
Reminded me of the HItch-Hiker's guide to the galaxy, flavor. For 6 minutes I thought this was fantastic and funny. One of my top 20 Dust favorites, for sure.
It's funny I saw this now. I was playing The Sims yesterday, and wondered if the Sims knew they weren't real. Then I wondered if someone wasn't watching me on a screen wondering if I knew I wasn't real.
@ciara wench that's why you need the help of a professional who trade and understand the market more to earn good income, these professionals understand the market like it's there own farm and make s maximum profit for investors.
Brilliant. For those of us looking for an answer and wondering what will happen when we find it, this gives me peace of mind. Life is always what you make of it.
I have seen this short film before, so this is pretty much a glitch in the matrix. Because this existed already. Maybe not on youtube, but I seen it maybe then on vimeo then.
Excellent job, excellent actors. Question: when and where can we see more of your work, or when and where can we watch your next movie? It must be tough when some people find out you're a writer, because here comes their brilliant ideas pulled right out of their butts. Anyways, look forward to seeing more of your work
Thanks a lot! You can subscribe to my channel. I'm not really sure when I'll upload a new film though. I'm writing a feature film at the moment, but I'm sure I'll make a lot more shorts as well.
Like, holy crap I would adore this as a TV series on Netflix or something. Just a gal that is only one truly aware that life is a simulation? The antics to be had. Great, great work.
We're in a simulation created by a simulation, which was likely created by another simulation. I've always felt that way. The giant cat was a pleasant surprise.
Why do all the Sheeple people think us crazies need to wear Tin Foil Hats, the Foil is a conductor and attracts all sorts of dangerous signals and microwaves
This actually was really good and should be so much longer. I like Dust because I like scifi, but most of the times the actors are horrible. This really affects the films negatively. However in this one the actress was really good! Hope she makes it to a bigger stage! ❤
Hollyweird releases movies where population mind control is used, where aliens are real, where the elites are an evil cabal, annnnnd this..

Thank goodness there are other people who think the same thing I do! Some of us faculty at the University were talking the other day about how we were probably created by a set of students who got a C- for their project.
The only thing that was way off about this simulation: There was no tech support guy with an Indian accent asking "Have you tried turning your existence off and back on again?"
Well, aren't I just going to feel super guilty the next time I get bored with my latest city build in Cities: Skylines and move on to something else...
This summer, the sun was setting, and it went below a house on the horizon to the west, and then it went ABOVE the same house on the horizon for about 5 minutes and then set again. Both my daughter and I witnessed it. We are in a simulation.

Untitled Earth Sim 64, so that is where I am.
