Good news everyone! The novel is finally out! My Sci-Fi novel, "Simulation: The Great Escape" expands on the plot of this short film. I just published a short trailer for the novel. You can get your copy on Amazon: linktr.ee/hashemalghaili
congratulations
Finally:
"A long time ago, in forgotten lore,
They did show shorts you've never seen before.
A Long intermission, hearts were sore;
Wounded Way Down deep to the core!
Now, hear from the ocean of the internet, a roar;
As new shorts before our eyes Wash ashore!
Making All of joyfully scream:
Glorious Jems like These:
Bring Us some More!"

This is really good.
Typ 4 & 5 Zivilisation in The Skala and Time travel mal anders und wie geht es Ihnen Nice Wishes from Planet Earth and See you son.?! Xo xo xo und gute Besserung.
Congratulations! Just came across your channel! What Ai software do you use? You’re the 2nd person in only 2 days I’m finding using it for this purpose but you did this 2 years ago before anybody was using it! Did you get access to a beta version ?
They need to start including amazing films like these at the cinema before the featured movie. A larger audience would be able to see this and enable the creators to have a chance for bigger future projects.
netflix maybe, there is a intense fight for the preview time in movie house..
They used to do that in the UK
They used to so that in Australia in the 70's and 80's.
Nice idea bro❤️❤️❤️
@8Truth Seeking chute?
This is incredible and so thought provoking! This short movie is not just a usual sci-fi but involves many metaphysical concepts. Loved the VFX and the cinematography as well. Just really, really hope you are planning on making a sequel, cuz that's where the action and adventure will begin. The protagonist has only just begun! Please do make a second part Hashem! Oh and congratulations on all the awards! Well deserved!
Good news everyone! This short film is coming out as a Sci-Fi novel, which tells the entire story and fills all the gaps that were missed while making it. You can watch the Sci-Fi novel teaser here: ruclips.net/video/vCtZc20m91k/видео.html
A film into a novel I thought it was supposed to be the other way around…
There is no Aliens. But a creator
Huawey
Bravo
@@leaningr Actually, with their time machine, they were able to take the essence of an old, dusty novel that had been forgotten after it was turned into a blockbuster. Now the novel is being resurrected with that good ol' essence of life.
I've always believed creative artists are more in touch with the eternal mind than regular people. When I think of some of the sci-fi great minds of the past, their "fiction" was actually prophetic. Congratulations on one of the most interesting films I've seen for a long while.
A technological version of possession. Your energy with their memory and volition. The difference being also their body.
Finally. A story (well-scripted, well-acted, well-shot) with a beginning, a middle, and, most gratifyingly, an end.
Thank you!
quite convincing. one would expect someting like this, instead of saucers ...
...quite carried...
Yeah sure the narration wasn't even cliche
Clearly, most drawn here and who commented have reached a certain level of understanding about the world we live in. Continue The Great Work!
I want to learn more I want to know more I want more!! I’m ready and willing to
Immediately when I saw the electrode helmet I thought: "He is gonna have his brain sucked out"
😂😂😂😂😂
he trapped forever ever in vr game
lmao riggghhht
"Put the electrodes on your head and let technology do the rest." Sure. That sounds safe.
That technology has been here for 2 decades and it is safe. People have electrodes to prevent epileptic seizures and also for DBS treatment of severe depression.
@@MICKEYISLOWD I wasn't commenting on the use of electrodes. I was referring to the oversimplified statement, "Put the electrodes on your head and let technology do the rest." It's like going to the doctor and they say, "Drink this, you'll feel better," without telling you what's in the glass. "Yeah, stick on some electrodes and forget about it." Doesn't sound safe to me without knowing what the electrodes are intended to do.

@@johnmortell3087ya it’s almost as appetizing as smells reminiscent of sewage.

Wow this is incredible...parallel universes, hologram theory and samsara, all in 23 1/2 minutes. I hope you tell more of this story, this is the most thought-provoking piece of science fiction I have had the pleasure of watching in a long time. Thank you!

ya but its kinda stupid those aliens need to make a simulation of an entire universe to then pick a single human brain to then use its "energy" to bring their dead friend back
or maybe I got it wrong but, I think the milestone for simulating a whole working universe comes way after discovering sustainable immortal life
immortality shouldn't be a problem for beings who can create a universe
@@hristoborisov3713 maybe that's the only way those beings can be immortal. Create a simulation and take the mortality of every being In the simulation. It's actually genius.
@@JuNlethalpoet its stupid if they need to go through all that just for some biochemical composition. Perhaps tho, they need the consciousness of the human and not his actual brain. Perhaps their friend has gone insane through his endless life and he needs a new way for his neurons to connect, but its still dumb to create a whole universe of evolution just for that
I don't get it...
Who has created the Sim? The Body Snatchers (those at the end)?
If yes: Why would they want to steal a body from their own Sim? & what's with all those puzzles & stuff? Why don't they just create whatever they want?
If not: Why would an Alien want to steal a Human body?
Bonus questions:
- What does the meteorite have to do with anything?
- How is he going after "them", if he's in a Sim?
- Who is "them" that he's going after? The Tech Company? The Aliens? The Sim creators?
...I don't get it.

Idk man ,but when that meteor landed like a pebble in the water,but the news stated that there was a crater ,and injuries to people I phúckin lost it 😩
The news said the meteor was 10 tons also but then showed a picture of it and it was about 7 feet long that is just dumb mistake. Also said it killed tons of people
I don't get it either.
I was super lost too. The aliens have the ability to create a universe but they need the lifeblood of a simulated person to continue living?
The meteor killed me. 10 ton meteor landed in a lake with a splash when it should have taken out everything within at least a mile radius since it should have been traveling at insane speeds. These guys have obviously never heard of kinetic weapons.
The body snatcher fellas are simulated individuals themselves that steal people from the pasts' lifeblood and give it a higher being that isn't simulated yet the body snatcher folks "believe" there is a bigger universe bla bla bla.
Takes place in Germany, nobody speaks German or even hints at a German accent. Made ZERO sense.
So many contradictions and plot holes.
Still a very well shot film. Great acting, great visuals, great lighting, great effects. All good stuff. The screenwriting is lacking though. The story has potential but very badly needs to be peer reviewed to get those beyond obvious plot holes out.
I believe this should become a mini series
Impressively undercooked. This theme was explored with much more skill by H.P. Lovecraft in "The Shadow Out of Time."
This is very thought provoking. It’s kind a like a matrix that some people do believe it’s possible. The film was very enjoyable and I agree that hopefully you will make a second part it’s definitely left wide open for one. I am a sci-fi freak so the more the merrier. And As said before congratulations on your award.
Mankind lost its objectivity in the future by becoming purely logical. No humanity left in them. So they came back to bring humanity's compassion forward to them
Yeah, sure, I'll just walk deep into the woods and put electrodes on my head without a clue as to why.
Puts electrodes on head ... "I know Kung Fu"
@@MrT6R6E6Y6 You go ahead, Neo. You are The One.
Hey you gotta live a little!
I was thinking at least it's not the Napoleon Dynamite Time Machine....
@@MrT6R6E6Y6 "show me" :D
The movie teach you (and all spectators) one important thing: going into some woods/abandoned building alone never ever put any electrodes on your head without checking and securing all the place before it !!!
Proof that you do not need a 100 million dollar budget and A-list actors to produce a great film. This 25 minute film is better than most of the movies i have seen since the Matrix.
Yes, but there are no Polish subtitles.😢
Typical short where the punch line only lasts one or two frames.

Clever
Are you serious..?
@@BaptistBlak About what, kiddo?
I'd do the same, nowadays you can never be secure anywhere :)
@@AtlasReburdened kiddo.. Okay
I'm genuinely curious; what did this win awards for? "Award winning" seems to be the new click bait for a lot of film shorts these days.
It's the Darwin awards... 😊✌️
Yea more stupid ass rolling ads that pop in
Genuinely curious? Video description contains the imdb link where you see the award :-)
@@ivicakukic Awards actually. And obviously rhetorical questions seem to sail clean over your head
It wasn't for dialogue, I'll wager. *facepalm* The effects are great though, but yeesh...
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT VIDEO!!!!! Thanks!
I can definitely see why this won an award , what a fine piece of Si Fi all around the board.
This universe is way more complex than we can imagine, to unlock it's full potential is impossible
With power of will all is ppssible
@@AdAstra86 yea but to have that kind of will, is only something you read about, Jesus , don huan matus, and gurdjeff, so its almost like a paradox if its possible..
The universe is stranger than we CAN imagine.
Hashem, congrats to you and your team for an extremely creative, engaging, and visually inspiring piece of work! Dream big! I look forward to seeing what you can do with a big budget and studio backing! The talent and the vision is without a doubt there! All the best.
I could go for another 10 hours watching this...brilliant
Baffled, stunned, flabbergasted and intrigued, at the same time! good work all! top notch!
I like this short science fiction film...award winning too. It was interesting. I kept on watching it till the end. The grip on the development of scenes was good. Though things were a bit unclear at the end. Anyways....hoping and waiting for the sequel
Well done. The only thing that got me was that it felt like the writer wasn't sure how to end the story. The last lines don't make sense to me. Why did the hero have this special ability. Etcetera. A lot was left unclear for me, but I enjoyed the watch anyway.
The most important thing i would do is ask (What are the lottery numbers for next week).
Lmao me too
Fascinating work! I'm baffled & amazed as a SCI FI addict how great this short story is! And all the philosophic questions & the scientific research based knowledge that it is including...and the believe that human soul or the integrity of what we can be is solved here! Simply a great story all the way! If it had been a written short story...I wanted a whole book of the writer!😂
It's a short movie though,guess what I'm wishing!!!😂😂😂
380 years in the future, and they still use regular stethoscopes.
Meat Hook lol 😂 you know that haha 🤣
LOL Epic comment
may be they were 'earphones' of future
Because they're efficient and useful.
bahaaaa, thumb up:-D
Such an epic production!! Congratulations on all the awards!! Well deserved Hashem...
Title gave me high expectations.
Story: 3
Acting: 4
CGI: 4
Experience for the director: 10
Make this a movie NOW! Great production and effects. Very impressive.
Please make this into a multi series show. Two hours won’t be enough! Great film.
The special effects and visuals were amazing. BUT, the story and plot were convoluted and confusing. Too much voiceover. Too much exposition.
Exactly right Whateverittakes :-)
Actually, I don't understand what happened. The dialogue was very confusing.
If you couldn’t understand this plot, I have some bad news for you..
@@TheSCPStudio Me too. I didn't quite grasp it. Bad news: It's not very clearly narrated.
This was made for kids today, that never learned how to think. So every little thing has to be explained, otherwise they will get triggered. True story.
Now this is a great tale. Profundity, internally consistent weird cyberpunk tech and a complete narrative arc with an optimistic ending. Not to mention the superbly executed technicalities. Too many of the DUST films for me possess unsatisfyingly vague endings. They could learn a lot from Mr Al-Ghaili
I watched this quite a while ago and ran into it again today. It’s a fantastic story. I’m hoping that you will continue it as you have something that could go a long way. Thank you.
when shorts tend to be more impressive the hollywood makings
It’s been that way for a couple years now, there’s some true gold on YT in these shorts of all categories too.
The wrong people are in charge
"Im a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude."
Named Jonathan Fraser
What is this?! A center for Ants?!
Evilmike42 No, Tom Cruise as Les Grossman was the one robbed of an Oscar.
@Evilmike42 For real...
...he was _actually_ a dude acting as a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude!
Silence You Fools!, .. All of You! Enough!... Except Uncanny Valley... Dude!, It has to be at lest twice the size!!!
DEFINITELY should be made into a series!!!!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Incredibly well done, the opening scene alone is worthy of awards. So many questions, possibly even some answers... Something fascinating about a theory that is so intensely bleak.
"Tommy can you hear me? Can you feel me near you? Tommy can you see me? Tommy? Tommy?" Pete Townsend, The Who, 1968.
Yeah...you're so right... ruclips.net/video/NzuNJod_o7g/видео.html
"see me, feel me, touch me, heal me"
A distant alien civiilzation would have predicted something as simple as someone's emotional outburst and would also have more than enough measures ready if that happened.
oh yeah, and its like this is the first time that a time transfer process has happened, and, WHY WOULD THE SCIENTIST AS SOON AS THE GUY WAKES UP TELL HIM ...OH YEAh basically in just a few we are going to wipe you, kill you, your soul is going to vanish....who wouldn't fight back....the premise, plot is SO weak here, why not tell him that if he stays still, nothing will happen …...yeah, need rewrite on pilot....this one is doomed to fail
Yeah, if this planet is like The Sims for them. We just don't see the gem thing over our heads, or the status bars.
The premise is cool though. Fresh.
As bad ass as it gets. A lot of professionalism went into this, a lot of breadth, blood and tears were shed to visually capture it all!
Wow...incredibly well done short little movie!!!..nice job Hashem....Do more, please...
Do you notice that after 60 years of sci-fi plots, we then find out that most are fact, more than fiction.
I believe we set up or own futures by thinking about them...
Remember necessity is the mother of invention! You want a future! You'll have one shaped by your knowledge and fears!
We're all part of a huge holographic universe that plays along with our desires!
We could all be subconsciously programming this universe with our hopes and dreams!
Are we all living in a dream world?
head ass...
Sci-fi is a big propaganda machine.
In a way you're correct but it's more complicated then that. And at the same time it's very simple, if you know what's going on......
@@SpiderF27 And you're the one that knows it? LOL
I'm sorry that some seem upset with my theory here...but this is what I'm talking about, Sci-fi, ...I just made up a story and some of you think im saying it's real. Sci-fi are stories told to entertain the mind, nothing more....what you do with it is up to you.
Really amazing..."Hashem Al-Ghaili" you have always ignited love towards science and technology and helped to think curiously about anything the nature is sending to us!!!...no words to describe your greatness..
As a fellow-filmmaker and VFX CGI Artist, I understand the challenges in actualizing a film from concept to finish. We both won for best shorts at the Vegas Movie Awards and I must say Congratulations for this visually stunning piece of motion picture! It's so easy being a critic. But many of us could have never put this incredible work of digital art together. Yes their were problems with the story structure and I'm not a fan of narration. But, his blend between computer graphics and his ability to communicate the science behind who we are in and around this galaxy, we know so little about. for his first film, he deserves all the accolades. Well done, Hashem!
An unparalleled work of my beloved brother Hashem Al Ghaili. Lots of love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Try to sell this to Netflix and make it a mini series 😉 this was so we'll thought out and keeps you in suspense. Great concept and cliff hanger let's see what happens next is a must
عمل رائع يستحق كل تلك الجوائز فقط نتمنى منك ان تستمر و تنجز لجزء التكميلي ، لاننا حقا مشوقون لمعرفة بقية القصة ،
احذر ان يسرق منك جماعة Matrix الفكرة لانها تبدو مغرية جدا ، تحياتي من الجزائر.
Someone's parents failed at their main mission. This boy should have learned, at some point, if a stranger offers you an unusual head device with many electrodes on the inside that lead out to tens of wires that are attached to a device with a computer, don't put it on.
Love and nuture is critical and when missing, a person will find those feelings in a simulation which proves how important thought is!
I have never missed your any video sir because none of them were worthless . They were always of my use and most of the time new to me . Sir l always eagerly waits for your video .
Love from INDIA sir .
Please respond to this comment sir .
This is awesome!!!!!!
Please upload a sequel. Even I think about this that what if we were controlled by somebody else from future. Thank U for making such an fascinating and intriguing film
Watching someone almost asking question and someone almost answering is not my idea of entertainment, no matter what the setting
Love to see this fully fleshed out as a feature lenght. Really neat take on this. Definitely took a different turn than the usual "simulation" kinds of films.
Such a masterpiece. I however would feed a subject lies until the process is complete. This doctor is too honest while the subject is clearly not willing.
'Welcome to the future Thomas, wait till you see our shopping malls, your gunna love it. Now it will just take 5 hours to get your brain calibrated to your new body so hang tight whilst we get you fixed up.' - either that or handcuff him to the bed haha.
A brilliant short film, well done.
It really seems as it's a real glimpse into the future., with all that's happening around the black budget programs.
I hope you continue this, creating a mini series. It's got to be a huge hit.
Congrats on the awards, well deserved, love the work, it's far superior to anything that would come out of Hollywood. 👌
Love the metaphysical tones to this. A sci-fi piece with depth. You should do more.
*voice over*
Amazing Hasem! Good work mate! Loved it !!! Way to go ...
I always like this type of scientific movie and congratulation team hashim
Cool idea, nice effects, great writing, I write fictional short stories myself, eBook's....to me, this seemed more like an elongated trailer though, yet as a short story writer, about the paranormal, aliens and cryptids, I can appreciate the 'in and out and leave them wanting more' type piece.
I’m about two minutes in and I already love it.
It's really deserves many awards Please make a sequel Of it please Hashem it's really great
This is an Awesome Film!!! Thank you for sharing this with us, Hashem! I love all of your work!!!😎♥️✌️
DAMN, DEEP, please turn this into a full fledged movie, awesome concept!
WOOOOW.....GREAT SHORT MOVIE
Let's see....
- multiple dimensions/paralel universes
- our reality as a simulation
- time travel
- alien influence on human civilization,
- immortality of the mind- soul
So many different concepts in a 24 minutes movie.....is shocking !!!!
Along with wonderful C G I
This one should be awarded with an Oscar.
Great short film... Would love to see a full length movie on this subject! Sending much love and gratitude!
I don’t think this needed a narrator. Maybe just not this narrator, I’m not really sure.
Yes the voice was so-so...
Comments are interesting. Most who are sh*tting on this gem cannot make a 5 second stick animation on MS.Paint. Great job Hashem Al-Ghaili

Fantastically enjoyable, mind expanding & I can't compare it to anything I've seen before. Thank you!
This is an amazing film, Thank you @Hashem Al-Ghaili and congratulations to all the team members.
You really make it awesome.

Extremely well made and thought provoking to say the least. I hope you continue this series.

You know you want it.
as someone who have read and watched these kinda stuff about simulation world, multiple universes and dimension (just out of curiosity) this short film is exactly as expected and well created😍😍 seeing that someone (or some people) have created what I have in my mind with this quality and precision is outstanding!!!!
I'm looking forward to see more (｡♡‿♡｡)
Man this could be a big time series, either on Netflix or some other big time broadcasters.
I would watch a full length movie of this plot. LOVE it!
Interesting concept. And it also makes sense to travel to Earth disguised as an asteroid to avoid detection.
Dam this would make one amazing tv series id be hooked so many unique and very well detailed plot points to enjoy
Talented writer, philosopher, Sci fiction producer and director 😊…congratulations
this was AMAZING! very well done, wish it was longer
Thank you.
I'm too happy , finally i can watch it. Lot's of love..
from nepal.
these short movies are great i watch them often but wonder why the makers would not make regular movies as they are clearly very good at what they do and im sure if the regular movies was directed and played out the same as these they would most certainly be a huge hit very talented producers and all involved ;-)
YOU KNOW YOUR SHIT MAN. I AGREE. IT WOULD BE AMAZING AND TIMELESS
Got to start somewhere and hopefully be good enough to do bigger films.
The concept of this film is extraordinary, I felt like I was a part of the story and wanted to help the guy figure out a solution. B-D
Finally it comes
Waited for this video for a long time
When is the 2nd part coming
You waited for this ?
Its cumming for ya!
@@nobody7817 love ya then i love you even

Wao was waiting for that for so long, you are on my see first at Facebook too 😊
Loved Peripheral Season 1. Looking forward to Season 2.
Okay, I'm going to go ahead and put this out there because this short film semi describes what I have thought for decades. Now I've always had the inclination that something is different about this world. I believe that the Creator, whatever it is, creates universes almost in the same way that they did on the short. But it's more of a scientific/learning endeavor. Then these beings and there's more than one of them there's probably an entire race of them. And in order to reproduce they have to build a simulated multiverse. By doing so they take little pieces of themselves and implant it into every significant living structure. We call this the soul. But in reality what it is is nothing more than a USB device that's being plugged into our life. It records every single byte of information that is our life. And not only does it record it in this dimension but for every choice we make a new multiverse is made. And our souls energy is reproduced and transferred into the new us. At the end of each version's life, the soul will go to rejoin with other parts of the soul that are across the multiverse. Until the very last subject dies. At that point all the duplicated souls have merged together and then go back to the creator. Thus allowing the Creator to study and analyze everything that the "soul" has learned. Then the "soul" is basically wiped. but just like any technology, when you erase the information, there's still a little bits of information left. And when it gets put into the new subject for learning we end up with what we call deja Vu or past life regression. Those are the little bits of information that didn't erase. Eventually after I don't know how many lifetimes, because I'm not one of them. But let's just say hundreds of experiences in different life forms eventually the soul will be prepared to become a new creator. Or a god, however you want to call it. I believe the "soul" is just another God in training. And it has to learn everything about life and consciousness in order to become one. And in order to learn this the God in training has to experience every type of life form that the cosmos has to offer. I know it's a little bit out there, but it's just something I've thought about since I was probably about 7 or 8 years old. I'm now 46.
Very interesting concept.Thought provoking with how it all starts with the Chelyabinsk asteroid bringing the technology to Earth. With the way Oumuamua acted after it entered our solar system it could be a possibility that alien civilisations are trying to contact us from distant systems trying to get our attention now. You deserve all the awards you receive for this short and hopefully you can find more capital for VFX to continue the story. I have followed your facebook page for sometime waiting to see this short, impressive, it was worth the wait. Good luck on future shorts pertaining to this concept and others.
This is pure fantasy. The Aliens dont understand what happens to an asteroid when it hits atmosphere it gets so hot it's like molten glass. And when it hits a body of water it's like a paintball.
Cool-Time travel has always been my favorite subject.......................
Got me, drew me in, great story, cleverly done with a sinister edge 👍🏻
Beautiful work Bravo
How cool was that!
I would very much like to see a follow up
Why introduce them as a German family when they speak English ? Let them speak German and subtitle it or just say Thomas is English
Have you ever seen the news from the region of the former USA-occupied part of Berlin? They speak English in a strong American accent. We have a station in Australia that telecasts one of these news shows on a daily basis.I thought it was odd the first time I watched it as I had the impression that they would speak German as well.
@@KeikoMushi Protip: Don't use as much ketamin.
Martin, you're right, that kinda sucks.
I was wondering about the same. There is no "concept" behind any of the elements in this movie.
It said Germany, not German family. Also the universe is a simulation, it can be an English Germany lol
EpicSC never heard such dumbshit before
Brilliant! I knew I was sane!.I'm here and coming for you!
I can't be the only one who is feeling like they relate to this. This is amazing.
I was so eagerly waiting this movie. My all expectations are full filled by you. I never missed your videos. I'm from India and I also want to be like you sir. I have seen may sci-fi movies but not a single movie given me satisfaction. Today you complete this. Thank you so much sir for the knowledge and movie.
Loved it!
It kind of scared me, watching all those universes....
Great short film.
