You made a full grown black man cry. I can totally relate. The struggles of being an independent filmmaker. Congratulations on getting it done. I loved this video. I'm glad you went ahead and got it filmed yourself. There's a point in life when you say, "You know what? I'm not going to wait around for other people to make my dream happen. I'm going to get it done myself." The world needs more people like you guys. Very awesome! I can't wait to watch the film. And my heartfelt condolences on your father's passing.
Desmon! Thank you buddy. Really awesome of you to check out the link and watch the vid. You're so right, just got to get going sometimes. Thank you so much for your kind and supportive words and I genuinely can't wait to share the film with you. And genuinely, thank you for your condolences x Elliot
Great comment, thank you!
Couldn't have said it better! Yep.
Here here
As a college student with no money struggling to create a film, this has given me complete inspiration and hope! Thank you guys so much!
Jake! No, thank you so much for your generous comment and taking the time to watch our vid - I'm inspired to hear from a fellow filmmaker! Don't ever give up, work hard and with passion and you'll make your film. Please join us over at facebook.com/EllianderPictures where we have a network of filmmakers like yourself all sharing and learning from one another. Cheers, Elliot
This is as close to Fan Mail as one can get these days, and it is NOT being wasted! Your COSMOS is a treasure that is more, much more, than the sum of it's parts or the intent of it's creators. My whole life as a movie-goer would be deminished if COSMOS had not been made, I know that now. Your "Making of" Featurette only adds polish to an already dazzling diamond of a production. Kudos to the Brothers, and to all who brought their passion and skills into the mix to make it happen.
its cool to have a brother that has the same passion as you, just like having a twin clone but directors. and oh good job mom! very supportive
Vincent Van gogh thank you! Yes we’re lucky to have each other, we don’t really enjoy filmmaking on our own, it’s the shared experience of creating something together (like a band) that motivates us. And yes our Mom was extremely supportive throughout this whole process. Cheers Elliot
NETFLIX COMING IN HERE AND PUT YOUR MONEY ON A TRUE STORY THE ENTIRE WORLD WANT TO SEE. AMAZING JOB GUYS. IMPOSSIBLE IS NOT AN OPTION. WELL DONE
Dude, thank you! Really appreciate your awesome comment! We'd love to have Cosmos on Netflix so thank you for shouting loud. Genuinely, thank you for taking the time to check out our film. Cheers, Elliot
you are welcome, your movie is amazing I deeply have a strong feeling it will be accepted globally, great teamwork. The bts made me wish I was part of the team, May your passion for film making keep on burning. I wish you guys all the best. #cosmosfornetflix #cosmosfortheworld
Many keep saying that this movie was too long. Where? How? I say that most Americans have been weened on movies that get right to the point, and just get it done with. This movie in my humble opinion is perfect in its length, for it sets up perfectly the life of an astronomer, who most of the time is just sitting there waiting...measuring...watching...
waiting...comparing...observing...
listening...waiting...shifting frequencies...waiting...recording...
waiting...analyzing...waiting...and the overwhelming giddy joy, when they find those precious bits of discovered data, that furthers along our science. You feel this watching the llllooonnnggg
film. It is perfect in making us live the life of an astronomer. And what it also shows, is how easy it is to spend your life dedicated to this science, and by some greedy fool, or political expediency, be discarded, and made to feel superficial, and become unrecognized by others in spite of your personal sacrifices and contributions. The movie depicted 4 nerds relegated to the dust bin by corporate greed, and society's disregard for the pain and dissatisfactions many in science endure for the rest of us. No.......the movie is just the right length. The director, and stars have performed a miracle. It is about time that the obese, lethargic, dull, insipid masses of entitled humans, who sit in comfort, get a taste of the bitter fruits many scientists have to traverse through for the sake of our scientific progress. And this movie brings this home. Awesome job guys.
This comment - wow. Thank you Wateringman. Thank you for watching our movie, thank you for coming on here with such positivity and support. Just thank you! :D You're totally spot on about the messages behind the movie and the intentional pace of the experience. We hope that when things really get moving the audience feels rewarded for their investment, that the discovery really means something and that the risk feels real. I'll be forwarding this on to our Cosmos whatsapp group so our actors can see what you said, it'll make their day! Also, if you could spare 2 mins would you mind leaving us quick rating or review on imdb? It'd really help us out (no pressure though your comment was incredible haha!) x
www.imdb.com/title/tt4477292/?ref_=tt_urv
everything about this movie is great. i actively have it even play in the background when coding at night cause the score/vibe is so nice to listen to
I really liked the film. Hats off to the guys who created it. Thanks also for it being free on RUclips.
Hi there Christine, thank you so much for taking the time to watch Cosmos and reach out to us with your support and enjoyment. The free version on YT is actually a pirate version but that's okay because you might not have found it otherwise, so at least you got to enjoy the adventure. Thanks again for you support, E & Z
What a great movie! I would have never known it was shot on a BMPCC Camera and on such a tight budget. It looks and feels as professional as any film. Great acting, characters, story, and cinematography. Well done!
Hi Scott! Wow, thank you so much my friend. Elliot & Zander here, the directors, just wanted to thank you for watching our film and taking the time to reach out with such support - it means a lot to us and the whole team that helped put Cosmos together. And yeah! That OG BMPCC is a little powerhouse of a camera, never to be underestimated. Thank you again and wishing you all the best, Ell & Zand
Seeing them use a wheelchair as a dolly just gave me so many ideas. Now I gotta go buy a wheel chair!
Haha the wheelchair dolly is a lifesaver! Brilliant on most surfaces and very portable - definitely worth having in your indie kit!
Look in dumpsters and keep that low budget ethos alive. As a former garbage collector, I can tell you it's surprising what people throw away, and I've seen many wheelchairs in the trash.
This movie blew me away. After it finished I started it over and watched it again. Hollywood with their massive budgets have absolutely no excuse.
Boudicca, kicking ass and leaving amazing comments since 30AD. Thank you kindly. Honestly means the world to us, as you can see from the video there's just a tiny group of people behind this film and reading comments like yours means everything. So thanks for giving our film a shot and thanks for coming on here and leaving such an amazing comment. If you felt you could spare 2 mins would you please consider leaving us a quick rating or review on imdb? It'd really help us out but no pressure at all, I mean that genuinely haha. Your comment rocks x
www.imdb.com/title/tt4477292/?ref_=tt_urv
This simply moved me. That's why I like BMD because they are responsible for stories like these happen. Good luck to team Cosmos. 🙏😊👍
Kevin's Spoken English Kevin thank you so much my friend! It’s amazing to connect with you. We are touched that this video moved you. And you’re right, black magic are an amazingly supportive and enabling company. Many thanks again, from the whole of team Cosmos. Cheers Elliot
The Only one thing l want to say about it. This is a TEAM WORK that comes from bottom of heart without feeling any doubt and negativity about the project. Everything is possible, just do it.
Wow, thank you so much my friend. Team Cosmos truly appreciates you, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and be so kind with words. The film was a labour of love so we're thrilled you enjoyed it. Cheers, Ell & Zand
I am amazed how something this GOOD, can be made with NO BUDGET! I really enjoyed the movie, in fact, one of the best movies I watched in past 2 years! I have mad RESPECT for everyone who participated in creating this masterpiece of a movie! You guys made history!!!
Thank you so much my friend! From all of Team COSMOS, we truly appreciate you. For taking the time to watch the movie, to finding us online and reaching out with such kind and supportive words. We mean it when we say that COSMOS was made for you, so thank you for making the film what it now is.
If you could spare us a few mintues to give us a rating and/or review on imdb to give future or potential viewers your insights, we'd really appreciate that - www.imdb.com/title/tt4477292/ - but if not, that's no worries at all, Thank you all the same.
Wishing you well, our best, Elliot & Zander
Absolutely, hands down, without a doubt...my favorite movie ever. You mixed the cliche with the dramatic, emotional, human, scientific superbly.
Wow just finished watching the movie...it just felt so good...I was in tears towards the end , Got emotionally connected with the characters...great job guys..👍 Love from India♥️
Good Soul, thank you! You're going to get me crying now! Can't tell you how thrilled we are that you've connected with the film, that you're looking for more than just spectacle from a story and enjoyed learning to love new characters. Thank you sir. Truly. If you could spare a moment would you please consider leaving us an honest review/rating on imdb? It would really help us spread the word about the film and help others decide if it's for them or not x
Stumbled upon this on Amazon Prime & finished watching it an hour ago & now learning the history behind it & dang, absolutely stunned!
Seriously amazing job & that ending. Swear someone was chopping onions 🧅 near me 👀👀
Sorry to hear about your father (having recently lost mine) can empathise. You guys did the right thing by carrying on I'm sure he would have been extremely proud of the finished product.
Looking forward to seeing more 👌
Hi Nielo, thank you so much my friend. Apologies for our slow reply so we appreciate your patience. Thank you for all your kindness and support for the film, that truly means a lot to us as we made Cosmos for you, but most of all thank you for your condolences. It really means a lot that you think we did the right thing and that you think he'd enjoy the film too. We're so so sorry to hear you've experienced the same loss so may we send you some back our condolences and sympathy. Your father is still with you and although at times it can feel like he's gone, he's not, he's watching and guiding and proud.
Cheers once again, please stay in touch and best wishes to you and your family, regards Ell & Zand and the whole Cosmos team
8:43 - Lots of great ideas and success stories started in a garage.
wow, that's a pretty amazing way of thinking about it. Thank you so much for your supportive words. Appreciated. EW
I watched this movie last night on Tubi. This movie is fantastic, it’s crazy how they were able to make a production with no budget and better than many Sony films. A sequel would be great.
who needs a "budget" when you got each other and are more than capable visionaries. Way to go!
This is GENUINELY my favorite film...
I've only just got around to watching this incredible film. I really have to say what an unbelievable job you guys did bringing this film to life. Nice one lads!
Answering to your questions at 5:45 everything was done right .The camera work , cinematic everything was perfect ...and I literally cared about the character and wanted them to succeed .Keep making such movies your dad will be very proud
Gosh, thank you so much Amol. Sorry it's taken a week to reply to this. Comments like yours mean so much, Elliot actually read it out to me while we were having a walk break from work. Thanks for your support and your kind words. Welcome to the astro-nuts my friend x
Also, if you felt you could spare 2 mins would you please consider leaving us a quick rating or review on imdb? It'd really help us out (no pressure at all though!) x
www.imdb.com/title/tt4477292/?ref_=tt_urv
@@Elliander I saw the movie a week ago ,never before I have felt so engaged with the characters searching for little green men..a fantastic work of art .Keep up the good work
@@Elliander Yes I rated the movie 10/10 ...why the hell is your rating so low ..I guess people don't appreciate good movies ..Never mind you have earned a fan today
@@amoldalwai3961 Wow. thank you so much, what an incredible rating - really appreciate it. It's low because we were hit with some trolls early on and we've never really recovered from it unfortunately - they were convinced we were paying people to leave good reviews of the movie so tried to pull us down. A shame what some people will resort to. Still, knowing that there are plenty of people out there enjoying the film is all that matters to us. Perhaps in time it will rise up a bit :) x
I love this movie and Im craving a sequel. Also I want one of those hats! Please give us a sequel!
Ive watched cosmos more than a few times now, as i wrote on the RUclips film comments- You guys did an excellent job, it reminded me of one of my favorite kids' movies, "explorers ", also has a little essence of "Signs" ; another favorite of mine. You should be proud of the quality of your film, as im sure your Dad is as well.
In the midst of our global pandemic, we in filmaking are trying to figure how we can get back to producing and shooting
while keeping ourselves and others safe and healthy. You guys from COSMOS are not just such remarkable inspiration,
you've provided us the BLUEPRINT on how to create the new norm of filmaking. Now, I just hope our traditiona-thinking
clients will see the infinite possibilities that COSMOS represents. Congratulations, filmaking heroes!
Cesar! Wow, what a comment, thank you so much. Thrilled that you've found this inspiring and motivational. You're quite right, I feel a great change is coming and the industry may look quite different after this virus. Perhaps it's time we all reconnected with the true purpose of filmmaking - telling great stories.
If you've seen the film and could spare 2 mins would you mind leaving us a quick rating or review on imdb? It'd really help us out, but no pressure at all! Your comment was wonderful. www.imdb.com/title/tt4477292/?ref_=tt_urv
Just watched the film..... AMAZING...you guys did it!! I was engaged start to finish. Love and passion for the art is on full display... every movie buff should give this one a go.
Totally agree with you
I just got done watching this movie, and have to say it was amazing in just about every way.
At 4:32 is the "A ha!" moment for these 2 geniuses it is stunningly simple..Black magic pocket cinema camera, fog machine and LED lights! WOW.. inexpensive and technically correct..This right here is a MASTER CLASS! Thanks Weaver Bros and team...
Brilliant film, needs to be a sequel 👏
This film is absolutely amazing! 10/10.
Thank you so much Lloyd! Apologies for our slow reply but cheers for giving Cosmos your time. We appreciate you. Elliot & Zander
Thanks for the look behind the scenes! This is one of my all time favorite sci-fi movies. Well done, guys!
Just watched it. Knowing the budget (zero) and delivering such a well-shot and great directed movie is unbelievable. It's not only a sci-fi movie but a good written movie about friendship. And that soundtrack/sounddesign...Fjieuw... Hollywood can learn something about these guys.
This movie is amazing. I have it on blu ray which I purchased when lockdown was in place. I would say this movie is my 2nd favourite movie of all time behind Everything Everywhere All At Once. The production on this movie feels like it cost around £10million+++ to make. It just goes to show when passion and a big driving force and Love creates a movie which hits the mark in so many ways. Thank you all involved in this wonderful movie for sending me on an emotional and exciting ride. Please carry on making movies as you all have so much talent.
here's me sitting in a dark room, drawing my story boards and writing the 2350 version of the script. Planning shots, audio absolutely everything for my film watching this for the 256th time.
Derryk! Sorry for our delayed reply but thrilled to hear from a fellow filmmaker! How is your project coming along? How can we follow your progress? Dont give up, keep going and one day we'll be watching your movie! Cheers, Ell & Zand
@@Elliander yo! Thank you so much for the kind words. You can watch everything i MADE on my YT channel if you want, it's nothing fancy, just hobbyistic :) The film i am talking about I am actually wrapping in a few weeks (finally. it took a lot of planning) It's still no feature, roughly 45 min's i would guess. Then I will head in to the edit room haha! I'd be honored if you watch it one day :) if you're genuine, you can definitely subscribe and see it there popping up one day. Keep it up:)
I came across this as I thought it was a wonderful film and watched a few years ago. I rewatched- still as good!
Cannot believe it has finally been finished! HUGE Congratulations to both of you and I look forward to watching Cosmos! It has been amazing watching you both since the beginning and seeing everything unfold! :)
Hey Angelia! Thank you very much! Yes you've been with us from the beginning and it's awesome that you know the whole story of how things have progressed. Thank you for your constant support. Hopefully Cosmos will be worth the wait and we can share it with you soon. Cheers
Congratulations guys. It's an amazing achievement.
Thank you so much my friend, we really appreciate you and your support. EW
Another point I would like to make, is I think the anomaly reacted to Mike and his thoughts telepathically. They have proved telepathy works scientifically recently with 10 different people playing Tetris together linked up with electrodes and they played using their minds. Mind-boggling. I think this gave an interpretation of thought process and the human mind and our connection overall to the universe and atoms and energy. Commonality will be there to find and it all seems designed for organic matter. A huge sorry for the loss of your father too and I'm sure he would have been so proud of what you have accomplished here. A special movie that I will certainly recommend on.
Okay Brian, so telepathy is one of the best ideas and theories we've heard about the movie and honestly, we wish we'd come up with it! It'd be in the movie for sure if we had. It really does link us even more to the fabric of the cosmos and all in it. Bravo.
Finally, thank you so much for your kind words and condolences for our father. It really does mean a lot to us that you think he'd be proud - we tried our best to make something in his memory and keep him alive in the work that we make. So thank you again. Thinking again about your comments about ever atom and energy being connected, he's out there somewhere we can feel it - and that's what we see when we look up at the night's sky. Thank you once again my friend. Please stay in touch and if you want to follow our next film please join us over at instagram.com/ellandzand - all the best to you, much love from the Weavers and all of Team Cosmos
This is now my fav. movie of all Sci-Fi movies with ZERO Budget..... Please make more Movies like this..... I give 10/10
Tim - thank you so much. Can't tell you how much that means to us, we're such a small team so we all feel the love of comments like yours. Thank you for checking it out and for leaving such a supportive comment. Any chance you could spare us 2 mins and leave Cosmos a rating on imdb? Would really help us out - many, many thanks again: www.imdb.com/title/tt4477292/?ref_=tt_urv
Your movie was exceptional.
Thank you so very much.
My deepest condolences on losing your Dad.
Saw the film last night. Wonderful. Can't say enough good things about this movie. I can't stop thinking about it and how wonderful it is. Thank you for this great film
Man, that's most inspiring thing i've seen. Bravo!
Wow, thank you. If it inspires you to keep going with your filmmaking, then we've paid it forward my friend. thank you for taking the time to watch the vid. EW
The story behind the film is just as incredible. Loved COSMOS, cannot wait to see what is in store for your next feature.
Nick, thank you so much - ah, support like yours is utterly priceless, we are very lucky. Thanks for giving our movie a shot and thanks for coming on here with such positivity, it is truly appreciated. If you could spare 2 mins, please consider leaving us a rating or short review on imdb but there's absolutely no pressure to do so - your comment is worth far more to us.
This was beyond anything I expected in the most incredible and best way possible. I love sci-fi films and just astronomy as a whole, and randomly coming across a trailer for this film on RUclips, I decided to give it a shot, and boy was it worth my time and then some. The cinematography, dialogue, character development, EVERYTHING was so amazing, my jaw is still on the ground after watching this and realizing how little amount of people, but with absolutely HUGE efforts it took to bring this to life. This is so inspirational to not just hopeful filmmakers, but to anyone and everyone who has their own passionate visions and dreams. Thank you for creating such a beautiful and entertaining film. This was original, quality, and simply wonderful, and it will be a film I will certainly come back to in time. I can't wait to see what you guys will be able to do with some helping hands for your future projects. Best of luck!
Wow, Cuhrean - wow, what can we say, what a shining review. How lucky we are that you decided to take a shot with this film - thanks for being so supportive and positive and leaving a comment that brought a smile to both my brother and I. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the process of making the movie, or just to talk movies in general! If you could spare a moment would you mind leaving us an quick, honest review or star rating on imdb? Be honest with you words if you do write any, it'll help others know whether it's a movie for them. Thank you if you do but if not, don't worry - this comment alone is a great gift! Thank you x
This movie and the efforts with resources at hand is the truest test of passion for filmmaking. After 8 years of being out of film school, this inspired me that my dream too can still be possible. This year it begins.
Wow Mike, this is the absolute best message to receive! We were inspired to make cosmos by our fellow filmmakers and to think we can pay a little of that inspiration forward to you is literally the ultimate form of success for us. How is your project coming along? Keep going, don't give in, work hard and one day it'll be us watching your movie up on the big screen. Cheers to you, Ell & Zand
You’re the people who made this happen , your story is the future my friends , the best team in the world Cosmos 🌹❤️❤️
Now that's the spirit! Just saw the teaser, looks amazing - very well done chaps. If that doesn't get you trust and founding for your big project, I don't no what. All the best, Frank.
Frank Glencairn wow! Thank you so much Frank! It’s incredible to have such generous and kind support. It’s a pleasure to connect with you and be able to share our story. We can’t believe it’s only 4 days now until we get to release the film, we can’t wait to hear what you make of it. On behalf of the whole of team Cosmos, thank you so very much. Cheers Elliott
I just watched this last night. I was riveted by the story, and believed I was watching a high-budget Hollywood film. When the credits rolled, I was shocked at the brevity. What these guys did with so little, is a textbook example of shoestring film making. If it's not already, this film will be used in film classes for a long time as an example of what passion can do in place of money. If I could buy stock in human beings, I would invest in these guys, because it's for sure great things are ahead. What could they accomplish with an actual feature-length budget? Something tells me they won't have to look far for funds for the next picture.
Hello there my friend, Elliot (Cosmos Co-Director here)... wow. Actually WOW. Your comment has blown me and my bro away. Made my week! Sorry it's taken 4 months to reply to you so cheers for your patience. But thank you so much for your kind words of support and for giving Cosmos the time. We really really appreciate you and we mean when we say that Cosmos was made for you. We were inspired to make Cosmos the way we did by other filmmakers so to think that Cosmos might be used to pay that inspiration forward to the next generation of filmmakers is ultimate success for us. And to have you belief and support just makes us want to go out there and do it all over again - which we're working on right this very moment - our next feature which is more ambitious in story and budget - so fingers crossed it won't be too long before we can bring you another adventure and deliver on that belief you have in us. Thank you again, all the very best to you and sending much gratitude. Elliot & Zander
Most amazing thing i found on RUclips this year, thankyou very much for inspiration. ♥️
Wow - we're blown away - truly blown away. To think we've inspired you is the greatest form of success for us - thank you for taking the time to watch and good luck with your projects - don't give up on your dreams. Thank you again, Elliot
What an inspiration. This should be in every film school around the world. Thanks for sharing.
Wow. Kabuto, thank you. What an incredible comment. Please do keep in touch/reach out to us on social media, it would be awesome to connect. And thank you again, best of luck with your own creative endeavors x
@@Elliander Sure will.
I just finished watching Cosmos today. I stumbled upon it on Hulu and thought to myself that I will get bored after the first few minutes. What surprised me was, that I couldn’t leave my chair for the whole two hours of the movie. It was that good. This is what filmmaking is about. I would watch this on the big screen if it was out again over many “blockbuster” movies out there. The ending brought everything together and blew me away. The music score was amazing. Congratulations to everyone involved and I hope to see more from you.
Thank you so much Ray for giving Cosmos a chance! We're thrilled you enjoyed it - it was made for you. And thank you for taking the time and reaching out with such incredible support, we really do appreciate you and you words mean so much to us. We're working on our second feature now, another sci fi adventure called The Deep, and can't wait to share it with you. Thank you again my friend, hope you're safe and well and please stay in touch. Best, Elliot
I saw the film
Yesterday and I was so impressed!!! It’s extremely patient and whoever composed the soundtrack is a genius. Amazing job!!!
Thank you so much Damian! Sorry for the slow reply, thank you for your patience. So glad you found Cosmos and gave it the time - we really appreciate you and your comment. Sending gratitude, Elliot
I'm genuinely inspired. I literally don't have any excuses anymore....I'll be right back. Great work guys!
Ena - Thank you! Thrilled this has inspired you, have you seen Cosmos yet? Would love to know what you make of it :) Best of luck with all your future projects, much love x
Not yet. Where can I buy it? I just got my BMPCC 4K and accessories delivered. I literally bought the camera after watching this video and seeing what you guys were able to achieve with it. Let me know where I can get (buy) the movie.
@@enachioken We shot this film on the original BMPCC, just HD - would love to get our hands on a 4K like yours! So incredible that you felt that inspired, wow thank you. Truly. The film is available on Amazon Prime in the US and UK and the most reliable platform to watch it outside of those territories is Vimeo.

Hands down one of my favorite movies now. I love this movie and tell everyone I can about it. Wonderful movie can't wait to see more . This movie is so good it should be in cinema everywhere. Great actors great story and a great job. It is amazing movie.
Your dad would be so proud of you both. He and your mum did a great job at looking after the two of you.
The internet continues to amaze. Wow. Just, wow. Thank you for such a heartfelt comment, brought a tear to my eyes. That means such a lot. I hope, if you've had a chance to watch Cosmos, you enjoyed it. Much love from one stranger on the internet to another x
Amazed with your enthusiasm and energy, getting inspired to shoot my feature with no excuse at once. Waiting to watch COSMOS.
Mohammad! Thank you my friend for your awesome comment and support. Really appreciate you taking the time to check out our video and comment. Great to hear that you're inspired to get shooting your feature too! Can't wait to see what you make.

Just finished seeing it. Wonderful work. I'm a Scifi fan , and tired of movies full of special fx, and no trama. COSMOS has it all. IT kept my eyes glued to the tv set. When Mike talked about Arecibo, my heart bumped. Congratulations for this fine work.
Thank you so much my friend, from one scifi fan to another, your words mean so much, Cosmos was genuinely made for you so we're thrilled you found it and you enjoyed the story and adventure so much. Cheers for giving it a watch and connectinng to share your experience. All the best, Ell & Zand
Beautiful and very inspirational! Well done.
Thank you Arcino - means such a lot. Thanks for taking the time to leave such a supportive message. Have you seen the film? Would love to hear what you thought x
Watched this film tonight with my partner. Absolutely bloody brilliant, had me on the edge of my seat. Seriously I cannot wait to see what you all do next.
Thank you so much to you both, sorry for our slow reply so thank you for your patience, but we really appreciate you giving Cosmos a watch and then reaching out. We're working hard to bring you our next film so fingers crossed it wont be too long now. All the best, Elliot & Zander
This movie made me cry.. been dealing with a lot of depression and love space and science and nature and haven't been able to enjoy or be passionate about it in about a year after a traumatic life event. This was beautiful movie thank you for all your hard work.
FlyingAce, this is what films are all about. THIS comment right here - makes all the work and effort and time truly worth it. Films can be powerful and to think our little indie sci fi has touched you in such a way is the greatest form of success we could ever hope for. Thank you x
Hey FlyingAce,
Joshua here (Harry in Cosmos.) I was just looking over some comments and found myself compelled to reply to you directly. Firstly, as El and Zand said - thank you for your kind words, it means a lot. But secondly, and more importantly, I’m sorry you’ve been having a bit of a rough time this year. Depression is merciless and cruel, but credit yourself for your tenacity to fight it. Remind yourself how stardust runs through your veins and how very capable you are. Never be afraid to reach out. As head AstroNut I welcome you to our little club, and you can talk to any one of us whenever you want. You are special, never forget that.
@@joshuaford3087 Welcome to the Astro-Nuts FlyingAce - it's a much better club now you're part of it my friend x
This is the most inspiring story I have ever seen, heard. Guys, you are amazing.
Just discovered this today and the movie is great, specially the camera works. Great work on both sound, acting and CGI.

Congrats guys! I've been following you guys since I stumbled across some of your old videos about a year ago. I was worried the film fell apart after not seeing any updates in such a long time. When the trailer dropped, so did my jaw. It looks incredible, and perhaps more importantly, feels like a "Big" story (if that makes any sense?). I've read and re-read every post on your Wordpress site, so much gold in there. Your passion permeates everything you've done, both in front of and behind the camera. What you've accomplished, against so many constraints, should be a wakeup call for all aspiring filmmakers (myself included). Can't wait to see what the future holds for "Cosmos," and for your careers.
Lee - wow, what words of encouragement and support. The internet can be a harsh place but you've taken the time to write such a positive and supportive message and we want to thank you; never underestimate the power of your words, it means a huge amount to us. Can't thank you enough really. When we started the project our goal was to make the most Hollywood-Indie film we could haha, and tried to make it look and feel like more than it was, so again thank you. We'll be bringing PLENTY more content in the coming months about how we did it, what we've learnt and the continued journey of the film, so I hope you'll enjoy that and follow along with us as we push it out into the world! Have a great week matey, and thank you again. Zander
Lee, wow! Your comment is incredible! Thank you my friend for such generous words of support, it really means a lot to us to hear from you and that you've been following the journey from the beginning. We've been so inspired in the past by other filmmakers, all we've ever really wanted to do with this channel and the Reel Deal is pay it forward and keep the filmmaking love alive. So thank you for giving us that chance.
I can't wait to finally share the full film with you after all this time, and I hope you stay in touch and keep us posted on your filmmaking journey too!
Thank you again, truly. Elliot
@@Elliander You are welcome, Elliot! Though I should probably be the one doing the thanking. Sharing your "process" isn't something many filmmakers are comfortable doing. Sure there are the "here's how we lit Scene X" or "let me show you a VFX compositing trick" - and those are valuable, too - but you guys give us the higher-concept/director-level stuff, things that go beyond technical tutorials, like: "Here's what's motivating our decision to (shoot, block, light, direct the actors, etc) the way we did, and the pros and cons of making that choice." Thank you both for being so candid, I can't begin to explain how insightful that is. Can't wait to see "Cosmos." I poke around regional film festivals, maybe I'll get lucky and see it on the schedule? Or better yet, catch it in the theater because a legit distributor picked it up! Thanks again, and good luck!
@@Elliander Thank you, Zander. Sadly, the Internet can be harsh. Glad I could "balance" that with some well-deserved positivity. Likewise, both of you guys' replies made my day. It's one thing to get a thumbs up and a "thanks," but taking the time to write out what you did... that means a lot. You're right, "Never underestimate the power of your words." Thanks for sharing your journey and your knowledge, and for inspiring more people than you realize.
@@leevanderboegh4463 Why has RUclips only just showed me your comment?!!! Grrrr. It's wonderful, thank you again. And no problem at all, if people find our content either interesting, entertaining or valuable we'd be over the moon, so hearing that is fantastic. Let us know if you ever have any questions about anything, we're always here to help. We'll be posting regular updates about the film (and its eventual release) on our facebook page, but are also hoping to get into a few festivals so will let you know. Thank you again matey. E
You should make a sequel, I wanna see those aliens
Thanks Diego! What do you think might happen next?? Would be cool to get people's ideas in case we do make a sequel...
Also, if you could spare the time would you mind leaving us a quick honest rating or review on imdb? It would help raise awareness of the film. No worries if not, we know people have busy lives! x
I just finished watching the movie and it was absolutely amazing, ive been binging alien movies for the past 3 days and nothing as cool as this, the best part was to feel as if you were there right inside the car, i really wish there is a sequel, hope its a bit different and not too cliche to the other alien movies, definitely could connect with the characters, i was astonished when i just looked up on RUclips and found out it was a $0 budget movie, expecting more movies from you guys, great job 👍🏻
Maybe it starts off with video clips of the craft, a montage, by citizens. they then leave an artifact that humanity must decode, you don't see the aliens. I think it would ruin the magic. The guys team up to solve it añd it turns out to be the equation for FTL, faster than light travel. It turns out the guy who worked on the satellite is now needed to work on a probe that will be fitted with the FTL drive to visit a new world.
Thank you all for giving of yourselves to create a great story! I enjoyed the film! I crave a sequel. My deepest condolences for your loss.
Thank you Jim - that's very kind of you, your words mean a lot to us. We are overwhelmed by the reaction to this film, it truly is wonderful to hear that people are enjoying it and your comment is no exception to that. Thank you for giving Cosmos a shot and for leaving such a positive and kind comment. Truly. x
If you felt you could spare 2 mins would you please consider leaving us a quick rating or review on imdb? It'd really help us out (but I mean it when I say this, there's no pressure to do so, your comment means more to us than any rating) x

I'm sorry to say I've only just discovered this gem of a movie. I loved it and will be spreading the word. Well done guys on one hell of a debut and here's to your next project(s). Wishing you every success because passion and talent like that deserves to be seen!
Thank you so much Dave! Elliot & Zander here, apologies for our slow reply so thanks for your patience and thanks for giving Cosmos a chance. It was a passion project made with a lot of love so it means a lot to us that you found it and enjoyed the adventure.

Just watched this tonight after seeing it recommend on Reddit, enjoyed the film so much. Even before seeing this making of you could tell it was made with a lot of heart and passion. After seeing this I am left more amazed at how this film came to be. Brilliant work and well done to the whole team!
Thanks so much Kevin, that really means a lot to read. Apologies for our slow reply so thank you for your patience, but thanks for giving Cosmos a chance and then taking the time to reach out to us and send such supportive words. We really appreciate you, cheers from Ell & Zand and all of Team Cosmos
just amazing and my fav top of movies thank u
Wow, thank you so much - it's amazing to hear from you and believe me when I say - this movie was made for you. EW
Best movie I’ve seen in years. Saw it last night, been thinking about it all day since. The race against the clock at the end was something else, had my heart going and was willing the guys on all the way. Didn’t think the end would have the pay off I was hoping for but it went beyond what I was hoping for. Thought the music was brilliant as well. Honestly it was the best movie experience I’ve had in a long long time.
Hi there! Elliot & Zander Weaver here, the directors, just wanted to say thank you for giving Cosmos a chance and for taking the time to reach out to us and let us know you enjoyed the adventure - Cosmos truly was made for you so we're thrilsled you found it. All of team Cosmos appreciate you, cheers and all the best, E & Z
I really hope this movie reaches a large audience. Much love to yall❤️
Yash Walia thank you so much. We will be able to share the film with you from September onwards, so it’s not much longer to wait. Thank you for your support and taking the time to check out this vid. Cheers, EW

Pure passion, love it.
Thanks mate - means a lot. The film is out now, so if you get a chance to watch it please do let us know what you think :) Would love to hear your thought x
Really cool guys! Hats off. I know how hard it is because I started of the same way and our complete team is made up of people who love film making and it's awesome. Congratulations on pulling of a complete feature! :)
Vital! Great to connect with a fellow filmmaker who truly loves film! It's brilliant to hear about you and your team following your passion and making it happen. Thank you for your support and time and your inspiring comment. If you want to keep up to date with COSMOS news check out facebook.com/EllianderPictures - many thanks again, Elliot
The best story I've seen in years...and now knowing what a private labor of love it was makes it even greater.
Pilgrim, thank you a million times. The fact that you came online to learn more about our little indie sci fi means the world. Truly THANK YOU. We're such a small team so comments like your have a real impact on us. If you could spare 2 mins would you mind leaving us quick rating or review on imdb? It'd really help us out (but truly there is no pressure to do so, your comment is a gift!) x

@@Elliander Done -- 10 out of 10 in my book. So, what's next? :-) You can have my book to make into a movie if you want...hehehe. But seriously, I can't remember being so impressed with a movie as I was with Cosmos. Thanks for your labor of love. www.pilgrim57.com/2020/05/cosmos.html
@@pilgrim5736 What can I say but THANK YOU. For the rating and for the incredible article you wrote on our film, I'll be adding that to our imdb list of external reviews - honoured to have your seal of approval. Would love to hear more about your book, even if just to continue the convo and hear about your own creative endeavors (here or via email: Producers@Ellianderpictures.co.uk) Thank you again, truly 🙏
Found you last night on Amazon Prime. Absolutely loved it. Well done lads, well done.
Thank you so much my friend! We really appreciate you giving Cosmos a chance and then taking the time to reach out to be supportive. Means a lot that you enjoyed the adventure. Cheers to you, Ell & Zand
Just watched the film. Awesome. Totally awesome. Loved it.
Ahhh thank you so much! Honestly, a huge smile crept across my face as I read your comment. Means such a lot that you would watch the film and then come and leave such a positive and supportive comment. Thank you. Truly.

No thank you so much for giving it a chance - we truly appreciate you taking the time to watch it and then reach out to us. Apologies for the delay in replying but we wanted to thank you personally. Cheers to you, Ell & Zand
Phenomenal. I came here after being assigned to read the No Film School article about Cosmos in a class of mine at film school (lol), and this team is such an inspiration to me. All film makers have had their share of trails, and these guys shows how it's so worth it to keep pushing. Looking forward to more films to come from these guys!
Hi Charles! Great to hear from you, especially being a fellow filmmaker, and thank you so much for taking the time to get in touch - sorry for our 5 month delayed reply so thank you for your patience. It's definitely worth fighting for your passion so keep going, keep creating and we'll be there at the finish line with popcorn in hand on the front row. I hope film school is going well and you're enjoying learning. All the best buddy and thanks again for your support - Elliot
@@Elliander kind words Elliot, I really appreciate that! Looking forward to the films you and your brother have to come! Here's to hard work and good art💪👌

You guys did an amazing job on the movie. I really enjoyed it.
Thank you so much my friend! That's all that matters to us so thank you for sharing. E & Z
Guys, you are awesome! I saw Cosmos yesterday and I really love it! You will do great!
Thanks so much Edmundo! You support is felt and much appreciated, means such a lot. Thrilled you enjoyed it! Welcome to the Astro-Nuts!
Well hopefully these two directors go straight to the top now. They've absolutely proven themselves beyond the shadow of a doubt. Well f'ing done.
Well, wow. How do we reply to this? Your message means so much, thank you. Honestly, the filmmaking journey is hard and at times painful, but to read such support is not only inspiring but genuinely kind. I hope we can continue to build and bring new stories to you and deliver on your belief in us. Best wishes to you from us both, hope you're safe and well. Elliot & Zander Weaver
I am over here with Tears in my Eyes!!! yo this moved me... You just earned a subscriber! i have so much gear and I need to be doing more... this is wonderful guys!
iKon Media wow!! Thank you so much. Your comment and support is inspiring and humbling. We appreciate anyone who takes the time to watch this through, so thank you my friend. We’re hoping to make a longer version of this as a fuller doc to help share the journey in more detail. Don’t know if you’re interested but we have a FB page over at facebook.com/EllianderPictures and instagram.com/cosmos_movie if you’re seeing more regular posts about the film and it’s upcoming release.
Thank you again. Means so much, best, Elliot
I just happened to catch this movie the other night on Amazon prime and absolutely loved it! Everyone did an amazing job and now I really respect the movie more after watching this documentary and seeing how it was made.
Tom, boy am I feeling a bit emotional this morning - we've had a wave of wonderful comments come in and yours may have tipped me over the edge. Haha, thank you so much - it means such a lot to us, no exaggeration. Such a small team, a band of friends and now our movie is being seen and people are connecting with it; it's a dream come true. So thank you for taking the time to watch Cosmos and thank you for coming on here and brightening our day with such support and positivity.
If you felt you could spare 2 mins would you please consider leaving us a quick rating or review on imdb? It helps spread the word about the movie (but just want to stress that it's completely not necessary, your comment is already a gift!) x
www.imdb.com/title/tt4477292/?ref_=tt_urv
@@Elliander for sure I can do that. Being an indy musician, I understand how much that support means! Again, great job.
@@TomAmeen It really does mean a lot -so thank you for doing that for us. Honestly, it's just overwhelming to feel this support. x
@@Elliander You're welcome. Now we need a full documentary of the making of the movie :)
i feel proud of you guys
Thank you so much! That truly means a lot. It's been a long journey and a labor of love but to receive comments like yours makes this whole experience worthwhile. Thank you, Elliot
WOW!!
I was in tear's at the end of this movie and felt extremely moved and this hit my soul. I think it speaks to the premise of the movie, in that Roy the Engineer states, we are searching for who we are, why we are here and is there meaning to it all. This delivers a sensory child-like sense of wonder and that wanting to find an answer, which I guess is why we look up at the night sky. The ending was an answer to our reach out. Our original signal from the Arecibo dish with our message and the way they tackled this had me on the edge of my seat with the life form commonality but had me thinking in a religious way too, like we have found proof of God and the mirror image of the modern-day Shepard's viewing the star of David. Very profound and I couldn't stop thinking about the concept long after the film had finished. The music score was emotional and really made such an impactful complement to the story and movie as a whole. The characters and their development was amazing and a joy to watch unfold and the dream of science was held aloft on their shoulders. I can only thank the directors for their vision and what they have accomplished is nothing short of one of the best movies I've ever seen. I watched Clara recently and loved that movie too and very similar but this was just wonderful. I wanted to go back in time and become one of these guys by being able to be in this field of astronomy and science. A childhood dream, but "wow" thank you for this movie indeed.
Wow Brian! Elliot and Zander Weaver here, apologies for our slow reply in getting back to you. But WOW! We're blown away by your comment and your depth of understanding about the film and its narrative. Truly COSMOS was made for you, we say that to people who truly get it but in your case, it's as if you understand the very reasons we wanted to make the film as well. Really loved reading about the religious interpretation of the ending, that's not something we'd considered at all but you're right, that symbology is definitely there. We know it was a while back now that you saw the movie but could you do us the honour of sharing some of your thoughts about the film by giving us an imdb review at www.imdb.com/title/tt4477292/ - honestly we think a lot of future and potential viewers would enjoy and benefit from your take on the story. We shall reply to your second comment now, but truly, thank you from all of the team. E & Z
Oh my god.... It's a very small team...
You guy's are inspiration for us.
I like the movie very much.
And Arjun you're awesome. 😍😍😍
Lot's of Love from India , Assam
Assam, thank you my friend. Truly - it really means a great deal to us to have such a supportive community. We're thrilled you enjoyed the film, If you could spare 5 mins would you mind leaving us a quick star rating or review on IMDB? It'd really help others determine if its a film for them. www.imdb.com/title/tt4477292/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2 If not, don't worry, your comment is a gift x
@@Elliander sure....👍 Rate 10 from my side.
@@visitsamarjyoti You're a hero Samar, thank you x
The stuff dreams are made of. Dedication. Hard work. Fun. Love for the cinema. Friends. Laughter and Passion. Truly inspiring and historical. This is one 101 on no budget and creative filmmaking at it's best.
Villeins, thank you - what a wonderful comment :) Hopefully the love and passion comes across here, it was a real challenge but that's what brought us all so close and made the experience so special. I hope it helps others find the determination to continue with their own projects, we'll be producing some more making of content soon as well. Have you checked out the movie yet? Would love to hear what you made of it x
@@Elliander Not yet but it's on my to-do list this weekend. The BTS convinced me that I need to check it out. I'll definitely give my thoughts on the film. I believe indie filmmakers have to support one another in order for us to grow.
@@Villeins09 You're absolutely right - fingers crossed you enjoy it, but either way thank you for being so supportive and positive. Keep in touch and best of luck with all your own filmmaking endeavors.
@@Elliander No worries. I will do that indeed.
@@Villeins09 Thank you so much x
Just watched the trailer and now this. Wow!

Super impressive! Winning story, love it especially right now.
Thank you so much - hopefully this can offer people some positivity during a heavy moment. I really hope you enjoy Cosmos if you get the chance to watch it - but either way, thanks for the wonderful comment and for connecting with us x
This is an incredible video, i've learned about the process of Cosmos before actually seeing Cosmos. If you're looking for a chance to make something, all i wanna say is keep going. The love of something will persevere through your life. That passion won't go away, once you find it. CHASE IT.
Elijah - so thrilled that this video connected with you and for your words of support and wisdom; I really hope you get a chance to watch the movie and enjoy it, but either way thank you for the amazing comment and I wish you the best of luck with your creative endeavors x
Very inspiring and moving !!! Can't wait to see the movie :) - Henry
Thank you Henry! It's just incredible to hear that Cosmos is inspiring others, to us that's the ultimate form of success. Truly. We're all creatives and to think that our film might be encouraging or motivating others to continue creating is a thing of wonder! I really hope you enjoy the movie if you get the chance to check it out. Thank you again x
Great making of video and article on No Film School! Kudos to you guys!
Thanks Facs Studios - means a lot that you've come on over here and left such a supportive comment. We're keen to build a community of like minded filmmakers, those who lift each other up. We need more people like you out there. Thanks again and I really hope you enjoy the movie if you get the chance to check it out. All the best x
I teared up watching this again. I’m in 2 weeks away from being in production of my sequel film. This is always inspirational for me. Love it
Akeem! Thank you my friend for your kind words of support - so glad to connect with a fellow filmmaker! How is your film coming along? Will we be able to follow the production online somewhere? We have a BTS instagram if you're interested in seeing more of how we made the film and got it distributed instagram.com/cosmos_movie and a FB group with updates about the release facebook.com/EllianderPictures.
