Hello ALTER viewers! I am the writer / director of 'Imagine a World'. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me :)
Note: No cats were harmed in the making of this film.
Joanna Tsanis you did a GREAT job!
@@lil_rios Thank you Rivers! I appreciate it.
I never thought a salesman could be so terrifying. I really like it. It was hilarious.
@@katherinemeow Glad you enjoyed it :) Thank you Katherine!
this was awesome.
This is the smartest way to describe what a salesman is. Bravo!! 👏👏👍👍
No of what devil is today
Most intense commercial for an internet plan ever
For real.
😂😂
lol you deserve all the likes 😂
I cant lie i was ready to buy the internet myself tbh
@Trevor Philips loll
I mean all he wanted was for them to get better internet, I don't think it was such a bad deal
Sort of... 😆😂
Just Some Guy without a Mustache YoU agAin
until they get the bill haha
Oh my god I can't escape you, why are you everywhere
In spite of them huh
1:27 I would have asked him to LEAVE seeing the way he was eating pop-corns 😂😂😂
Shruti Shete Yeah that was just... disturbing to say the least (or disgusting).
😩🤣 cringeworthy ikr
He wouldn’t be in my house when people normally come to my door I say no thank u and put the chain on my door lol😂😂😂😂😂😂
In a real black household he never would have gotten inside. 🤷🏽♀️
@@tequilashots875 Think again. I'm a Black guy saying otherwise
Felt like they sold their souls to the devil for a better internet service -- I hate to see what happens when their late on a payment or when they cancel their contract.
sounds like the contract I had with TWC (aka SPectrum). When we moved to another state and ending our service, they said I paid in full and didn't owe anything. Lo' and behold they sent a collection notice for 10 cents. How do you send 10 cents through the mail? I called and they were adamant that I go to a TWC center near me. That would be, uhm, a 10 hour drive!! Before I knew it, my credit score was hit for a late payment, then a missed payment, then for non-payment - for a freaking DIME! Customer Service was like this salesman. Great short film to the whole team!!
@@michaelharper7350 I mean, tbf, why didn't you just pay the dime to get them off your back?
Is what i Think nowdays l has internet
@@CaulfieldBrooksMusic I think your missing the point
When I worked at Comcast and they wanted me to sale Triple Play I used to ask them “What do you want me to do? Go their home and force them to take it?” Thanks to this movie I now understand how I should’ve executed the assignment.
That was eerie. You get phony calls but you can hang up. Message do not EVER answer the door unless you know why and who.
Yeah!! Let's just be SCARED and AFRAID of EVERY-ONE!!! psh!!l
Etheric Bliss not letting strangers into your home ISNT being scared🤦♀️
@@hotcakesmilkshakes9815 WHO said ANYthing about "LETTING STRANGER INTO YOUR HOME"??? ??? ??? GADS!!! I swear! Idiocracy is RAMPANT... Okay.. maybe a little TOO harsh. But seriously!!! Go back up and read what the OP SAID. If you HAVE to... read it REAAALLLY SLOOOOWWWWLY. Until you "grasp" what was said. Okay!?! Once you do, you'll understand. Cool? Cool!! : ) -EB
I don't get how people feel comfortable opening their door when they don't know the person. It's just common sense
@@strongmom7144 Facts
My laugh at the end, thinking, 'oh, that was all?' actually came as a sigh of relief. The intensity was so extreme right through the film, kept up by brilliant acting and direction. Ah, perfect storytelling.
I like the way the story took a 'normal' everyday person like a Sales Person and made them the actual horror. The narrative events weren't predictable at all (which i liked) and the actor who played the Salesman did a good job. His character and performance were the right mix of pushy and creepy 👍🏾
Why on earth he invited that man into his house? He didn´t know, who he is, what his name is, what he wants and he lets him in? NO way!!!
@Ashley-MaRie Deeble where? Not in my country. Never. Lucky you 😉
The worst part of all it was how he ate the popcorn. Bruh why you put it back in the bowl after trying to shove it in your mouth.
Exactly!!!
Because if he hadn't let him in the house there wouldn't have been a short movie, daahhh 🙄
@@LilithsCosmicLounge I see sarcasm isn't your strongest side 🤭
Me over here with 1mbps internet: interesting 🤔
Oh shit.
Rt rt😂
No internet. How does that sound.
@@taseenchowdhury290 oof.☠
ImAgiNe A wOrlD WitHouT WaITinG
forget netflix and chill...ALTER and chills 💀 (so cheesy) 😂🙈
Oh yeah, Baby! Good one! Oh, and Happy New Year! 😍
Lmao right. Whats your insta
@@andrewcruz3837 @apeshitclothng
I was ready to get all kinds of pissed if that dude was gonna hurt that gorgeous cat 🤣🤣
Yeah, so beautiful 😍😘
I agree I hate even fake violence on animals.
@@agotti4933I agree.
I dont think he was trying to hurt anyone
Agreed
The salesman looked like someone who would be from the Book of Mormon the musical at first lmao
Great film!
😂😂
Yes 💯
He looked like a cross between Tom Hardy, and that creepy Jared Kushner, aka Trump's son in law. Only this actor looks less robotic than Jared Kushner.
When Cesar said "Meowrrrr" I felt that.
He is the quintessential salesman. Albeit way more intense and face-cutting-offy. 😆
This is exactly right!
The bloke is a killer
@@tammiejade1155 a killer salesman! Takes, "Never take no for an answer," to a whole other level! 😆
Who the hell would let someone in after they pretty much INVITED himself in for popcorn 😂
Someone under the influence of a type of mind control.
And the way he ate it lmao...bruh
Me..... Then don't let them leave. 😊
That’s a big hello nooooo!!!!! lol
Imagine a world without ALTER...
Too bad, we live in a world with ALTER making great short horror films.
Oh, how we pity those who can't have ALTER.
This was freaking fantastic! Great acting, story, shots, pacing, music...not a damn thing wrong with this short! Thank you, really enjoyed it, please keep making them :)
Thank you :) So glad you enjoyed it!
DO TO JE ? BORKAAAAA TY SI TO NEVIDELA AKY ZLY SU HERCI ?
Wow thank you so much that means a lot to me 🙌🏿
So what about the part of his face getting sliced off in the attic.
@@coreygunz68 💀
I worked as a solicitor. This is a part of my life I am ashamed of. But! Honestly, this is exactly the way I acted. I made compliments, closed rejections with questions and stories, and was very persistent and offensive. This video made me laugh so hard. 😂
I just hope you didn’t tear your own face off.
So you bat shit crazy
Hell no you were one of those guys huh😂😂are you him….👀💀just kidding !
after seeing hundreds of alter short horror stories - this remains my favorite.
Try 'Portrait of God"
The energy companies that try and recruit new customers on the high street will be very angry when they find out you recorded them without their permission 😂.
Seriously though, this was brilliant. A unique and unsettling short.
my anxiety went 📈📈 when he held the knife like that
That's why I don't trust strangers knocking on our door, I just pretend that I didn't hear them or simply ignore them until they give up and go, not unless I am expecting someone to come that day, idk if it's weird but I always feel conscious to the point that I keep a weapon near our door just in case something or someone might have a bad intention. 😨
That's good 👍
Same!
As long as it's not used against yourself... Maybe try to hide it a bit so that only you know where that weapon is.
Wow, these are all great actors but the crazy sales guy...👏🏾 to him!! Completely insane.
They all did a great job, but the salesman actor was the most fantastic. His characterization is on point. Just the right kind of intimidating and pushy.
the salesman really believes in his product
All i see is a guy seriously derivated to his job. He chases his dreams like a true American. An inspiration to us all
Salesman made me so uncomfortable. Oh wait... All salespeople make me feel this way. LOL! Her reaction at the very end was priceless.
When I did door to door for dish and direct tv, I now understand why my friend was making more sells then me. xD lol
Honestly one of the best Alters I’ve seen (and they’re pretty much all excellent so that’s a compliment!)
how is this their best. I'd say their best would be the box... There is so much wrong with this short film like why not run outside where running cars are? Why not hit the dude with a bat? like this is just honestly a shame for alter if I could rate below 1 I would. I expect so much better
Been binging through these short films and they are truly amazing, brilliantly scripted, filmed and well acted. You got yourself a new subscriber.👍🏻
I like the end!
The guy: "Wow. The signal is perfect!"
😅
Yeah..i am glad it works, what a relief!
Every salesman you let in your house 😂
This is why my mom always said never open the door to anyone unless she's home.
ALTER : IMAGINE A WORLD
ME: Hey, I imagine a world in everything.
That's the 2nd hand pot smoke. 😂😂😂😂
"Hi, I'm here with Sphere Ex internet and phone, and I won't leave until I make a sale."
I like how the salesman eats the popcorn because thats exactly how I eat my popcorn
12:54 William Shakespeare: Antony and Cleopatra, Act 5, Scene 2
See, Caesar! O, behold,
How pomp is follow'd!
That is a pretty neat detail. He really was some sort of cyborg or android pulling information from a databank. He just recognised the word Caesar and pulled information related to that
One of the funniest horror shorts I've seen in a while.
"They only use these acronyms because most people don't know the difference."
Answer: "Pyschopaths". 🤣
Everything about this was awesome !!
😂😂 Yes 🙌🏻
The most unrealistic part of this is when the kid doesn't tell him to leave once the salesman starts talking about his little sister. Everything else is great 👍🏼
AT&T getting creative w their commercials. Intrigued
Never answer questions about family's routine...
Never ever ever. 😆😂🤫🤫
It’s already scary
I mean look at how he ate that popcorn
bruh if they just bought the wifi plan than nothing would have happened
Who nearly pissed their pants laughing at the end when the brother says WOW!! This signal is perfect??? 🤣🤣🤣
Well at least he wasn't lying😂
‘We can’t let a stranger into the house.’ Let’s the stranger use the bathroom down the hall to the left. GTHOH.
I’m an “ Xfinity “ and the part about running downstairs and all of that other crap is a normal day here . Please find my home
It's not about "money" for him?? Hun, I'm scared that it's not about money for you and you are selling phone cable and internet services door-to-door....Instead of going to go 'talk to his sister this dude needs to go talk to 9-1-1.
He would never get any of my popcorn 🤔
It's strange how most TV robots hide their voice changer in the skin of their face
I never thought about that, but.....yeah ! you are right. WTH ?
a truely devoted salesman...
0:44 Can I also have some popcorn?????
🍿
*"no."*
Dude was creepy from the start.. and you don’t even ask what he wants?? Then let him in the house 🤦♀️🤦♀️ I bet he hated this role lol 😂
And to think it all could have been avoided if they just signed to start with.Brilliant story and acting.
The salesman guy has very likable features. I’d like to see him in other videos, series, etc
Ceasar's little growl so cute
I've been watching these short horror films all night and this is my fave so far!
Man! Why they gotta be so rude, all the alien wanted to do was sell his internet :(
My signal is very slow while watching this hahaha lol i need that man 😂😂😂
*Creepy to say the least.*
I click cuz the beautiful magnificent glorious brilliant kitty. 💘
😍😍😍😍😍
same
Me tooooooooo
I have the same fluffy black cat 😊😊
Same!!🤣😂🤣😂
Pretty much what the census workers envisioned having to make multiple attempts to get people to fill out the forms! 😂
This is the exact human form of advertisement which literally irritates us by their frequency of coming up. 5min of video and 2 unskippable ads in between. This was no doubt scary.
Who the crap lets someone into their home like this? Smh..
fr like hello welcome come in and eat my popcorn like a pig 😃
True lol
Great acting to all, great short. Well done to all.
Just FYI 911 works without WiFi 😂😂😂.great short film. The actors are on point!🎉🎉
She is the only horror protagonist in know who's roasted the killer. I love her.
who else thought this was an extremely elaborate ad for a minute
The way the crazy guy yells David and other things reminds me of the guy who died in the original American Werewolf in London.He had that nagging voice.
This dude sounds like a walking Spectrum. Always calling or sending unwanted mail. 😂
This was a great short! We constantly get Verizon Fios in our neighborhood trying to get everyone to switch. They’re relentless.
I’m pretty straightforward, and tell them no thanks and if they keep it up I just shut the door. I don’t care if it’s rude.
My husband though is way too nice for his own good. One time a sales girl from Verizon came around when my husband was home and was trying to get him to buy the plan. He said he tried to say no in a nice way, but when she still wouldn’t leave he told her he wasn’t feeling well and that now wasn’t a good time.
She left and he thought that was that. I come home an hour later and I’m in the kitchen when this sales girl comes back knocking on our door. I just ignored it thinking she’d go away. Nope! The girl had the nerve to go around and start looking in our windows. I saw her doing this and got pissed.
I opened the door and told her to get the hell off my porch or I’ll call the police. She did leave after that. I asked my husband why he just didn’t tell her no initially, he said he did.. multiple time but she was super persistent and that was the third time she had been at our house just that day!
Some of these solicitors are psycho. I even had one girl come to the door in the dead of winter when it was like 10 degrees out and she tried to guilt me into buying something because she was cold! Lol I swear you can’t make this stuff up.
Maybe getting kicked out of class when ALTER posts is a sign from God🤔
Yeah, during breaks when you got's time, start writing! We NEED some interesting fresh scripts. PRETTY PLEASE. Do it while you're still in school though because you have support from teachers. Think of them as free editors? Or those that can make _you_ a professional. Plus, it's a great side hussel. Legal & hard to get great ones. (Yep, Imma Mom.) Now, get back to class Turkey butt. 🤗🇨🇦
@@Digitalhunny 👌🏽
@@pakde8002 women aren't entitled to just cook, do laundry, or wash dishes all the time her child is probably at school and she free to do whatever she likes luv
1 why the hell did you let him in
2 why the hell don’t you have a gun
3 why the hell are giving him all of your info
"Do I smell popcorn?" ... at this very moment my door would be slammed.
-it's your internet service good?
-Yeah, It's all good, man.
Wow i am amazed how she scolded her brother for letting a stranger come inside their house and in just a second she allowed that so called Stanger to use their bathroom like seriously like seriously like seriously -_-
"Some Sage Wisdom to consider....next time you see a white guy holding a clip board outside, don't open the door" Great line. And then "Wow, this signal is perfect" Thank you for not killing the cat!
The internet signal was so perfect during the movie..and now back the "normal", i think i will wait for the guy..
That internet guy looks like, he could be related Payton and Eli Manning
Cooper manning
Ok but that was really kinda scary with the twenty-something messages thing 😅
I had a PTSD moment when he said that 💀💀 happened a couple times to me.
This dude needs to visit me . Id sign that form right away
The smartest thing they could’ve have done is go out that door and run until they find a phone at the nearest store lol
he was very specific about that text message "how about we go together?" so maybe that actually happened to him and that was when he turned into a psychopath
Eh, i'd take it. Perfect internet? Totally worth Cyborg-ish nightmarebots
This was the moviest movie I ever seen in my life and that's exactly how those ppl be acting Lmaoo
This shit has me at work dying laughing man. This was so creative 😂😂😂😂😂
This guy is like every Kirby salesman I ever met.
"Next time you see a white guy holding a clipboard outside, don't open the door."
That is sage wisdom I follow also 😂
the Saul Goodman from Breaking Bad had me trippin
There are so many comments but I haven't seen any mention:
WHY DID JENNIFER TAKE THE BAT FROM DAVID AND THEN JUST GETS THROWN ON THE FLOOR. wow. 👏
I need this sales rep to do me like that, cause I really do need an upgrade 🤣🤣but so carefree to do so😄
Well at least it wasn't the Jehovahs Witnesses
Ha ha ha ha 😆😂
kinda offensive i would say
Damn that white guy is so freaking creepy I would never EVER let him in
Personification of how the internet is an integral part of life and how little control we have over the entities that control. They do as they please. NO matter what
This video was very well written! Btw I lost it when he said this is a..... guy XD 4:07
Man, this was great!! It sorta gives me vides of stories written by Bentley Little, "The Mailman", "The Association", ect...
Conform at ALL costs
Oh man, Bentley Little is Brilliant!
