- A couple moves in together.
THE MOVE is used with permission from Eric Kissack. Learn more at erickissack.com.
Todd is excited to move into a new place with his girlfriend. They're moving into Todd's dream place, but he's also slightly anxious since he and Kate were having some relationship "hiccups" before they decided to live together.
But as they move in, they discover a strange portal that transports them just a few feet ahead in their space. Todd is freaked out by the portal and wants nothing to do with it. But Kate is fascinated by it, and she wants to stay in the apartment with it. The portal becomes a flashpoint for the pair, with their differences coming to the fore and the couple reaching a turning point in their relationship.
Directed and written by Eric Kissack, this quirky yet relatable sci-fi relationship dramedy is an entertaining, engaging snapshot of a couple openly hashing out their differences, thanks to the presence of a divisive interdimensional portal. Dustin Milligan (SCHITT'S CREEK) and Amanda Crew (SILICON VALLEY) play the couple at the center of the conflict in this two-hander, with Milligan playing the anxious, verbose Todd, who is the opposite of the calmer, competent Kate.
As they enter their new home together, the narrative seems to be an everyday romantic comedy, with a gently aspirational sheen in the cinematography and a well-appointed setting. Sharp, pitch-perfect writing and performances quickly establish Todd and Kate's characters and situation, capturing not just this latest life transition for them but also the small fissures between them that they gloss over through politeness or minimization. But when Todd and Kate discover a "glitch" in their apartment, the groundwork is laid for those tiny cracks to widen into something larger.
That "glitch" is a strange portal that transports those who enter it a few feet away. The comedy in the storytelling comes from how Todd and Kate treat it like an odd quirk of their new living space, as mundane yet annoying as low water pressure or a drawer that won't open or close correctly. They even argue over whether or not it will prevent them from having parties at their home. But as their argument progresses -- and Kate keeps experimenting with the portal's features, much to Todd's consternation -- the portal opens up a larger discussion of their differences, getting heated in emotional intensity.
Crew and Milligan capture not just Todd and Kate's personalities but also the feel of a long-term couple that has seemingly accepted one another's differences, mutually sanding down one another's sharp corners through time and ready to take the next step. They're funny together, with the comfortable banner of a couple. But they also avoid outright conflict, and when faced with an aberration of time and space, they reveal just how different their temperaments and personalities are, as well as their attitudes toward one another's differences.
It's these judgments, more than the actual differences themselves, that suddenly call into question their future together and seems to shift THE MOVE into more serious territory. But just when the discussion turns serious, the portal reveals a new aspect of itself, changing the game altogether. It leaves Todd and Kate on an intriguing cliffhanger of sorts, one that teases at the possibilities of both the couple together and the world they now find themselves in.
I think it shows that life is unpredictable and you never know where you're going to end up and it's always worth taking a chance. That could be wrong.
I feel like that's a very solid assessment.
Looks pretty predictable to me :) Go in, come out in another place.
Or it could be right!
It's a good analysis 👍
the film is more about over coming fear and indecision.
Love it. My favorite line: "But Todd, utilities are included!"
In the spirit of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, grab a towel and hop into the portal!
And remember…DON’T PANIC!!!
"Kate, stop playing with the portal!"
Wow, wasn't expecting that from the title, but I'm not mad about it! 😁
Yeah I didn't expect it either lol ,it was interesting though 👍.
It was the right move to make. The Earth is overrated these days. 😊
"I don't want to live on this planet anymore." 100 felt.
yeahs screw the overrated amenities of Earth id also rather be eaten by space-pterodactyls on a murder planet
I've been on this planet nearly 60 years. Things have gone downhill. W A Y downhill. Give me Mars or the Moon please. 🌜
@@MaryBeth1965you'd get awful cold/thirsty/lonely... in fact, I'd bet 20 bucks that within 15 seconds of your wish coming true, you'd be praying for a second wish to put you right back where you were when you made the first wish!
I'm kidding. Sheesh.
Planet Earth is my home. 🌎
Even though she has struggles, she is beautiful and bountiful.
This really needs to be a longer film. I really want to know what happens next.
He Stop Being Afraid And Life Take Them To Through Twist And Turns But They Approach Them Together
Life in their new world turns out to be hell and he forever blames her for getting them into that mess. Lol!
It's an allegory.
@@flightographist I understand this. That still doesn’t mean that this couldn’t be made into a longer film. Plenty of feature length films contain allegories. There’s no reason this couldn’t be one of them, while still containing the allegory in
It.
"You worry so much about all the bad, you miss out on all the good."
I want an apartment with a pet portal to another planet!
So relatable ............Kate reminds me of my wife and Todd of myself when we moved in together ............taking steps that appear small to some, are easier when you are with someone who makes it feel safe to do, and opens your eyes to that new dimension you were missing in your life..........Loved it !
I LOVED it. I'm glad he cared enough to follow her. They'll be fine.
I don't think he's a big camper though... Maybe she can eat him.
@@christopherleveck6835 I double that!... lol
Loved it. I want a portal too.
I want to know where the return portals are at all times!
I remember watching the old tv show Sliders so yeah you are right.
This short is a nice metaphor of how moving in or just change in life can be so scary, most times you just need to step into the portal and face it head on. It might not be as scary as you make it in your head.
I think it's a portal
And also that love can overcome your fears. Despite all his fear, he pushed himself to step through because of love.
Was it though ? Or just curiosity .
Hmm, not sure stepping into the portal was the right decision in this case.
Awesome. Need a part 2 of it.
More Please... great Actors ... Brilliant ❤😊
I’m guessing the previous tenants of the apartment are also in the other world/dimension so at least they won’t be alone.
Yes! It was funny the way that she was so un bothered and kept messing with it.😂
I think she should have acknowledged that he came through for her.
That guy really played a good self-absorbed, anxiety-ridden, clingy, borderline mess. I was impressed. I’ve known people like him .
I thoroughly enjoyed this one. It reeled me in and I was anxiously watching to see what was coming next.
Brilliant movie!!
For a moment I was hoping she would come out of that wardrobe with the pillow 😅
Loved this creative short film! Enthralling!
Tod was terrified, she needed to slap him back into reality.
I would love one of those.
Great actors! & great apartment!
…and then they get eaten by a flower monster.
😂
...or alien bacteria that they have zero evolved immune system to fight against.
...or he gasps for breath as he sees her collapsed on the ground suffocated.
...or...
WTF I never met a dude who talked like this.
The 're going to be very happy back there (other dimension), that is ... if there are no predators to eat them (looks quite prehistoric in there). And also; once the people of the moving company have figured out the portal; they can send them some of their furniture 😁. And for finishing; i want to see a sequel or a part 2, at least!!😀🤗
almost looked like she was gonna smile in that very last second but then the movie ended
Is that Ted from Schitt's Creek? So glad he came back from The Galapagos Islands.
Ghost Chasers! Dustin is so dreamy!
Great film!
Well done!
Oooh Dustin has rangeeee! he was great in this!! He needs to do some dramatic roles!
Gosh , I would have called somebody to let them know before going in 😅 😅
"in another life, i would have just really liked doing laundry and taxes with you" i loved this so much omfg
...that's Everything Everywhere All At Once... Did you get lost? ;)
He's such a Todd.
Looks fun to have a port hole
A portal. A port hole is the window on a boat
@@Dizzula what is your point ? It still seems fun to have a hole to another place.
Yup...loved it! Wish this was episodic, and Unreal Engine helped push the narrative.
Good one.
Coolest thing
I luv him from Schitts Creek. This was interesting. Thanks.
Can someone give me the address? I'm looking for a place to rent, and this just look perfect...
Wow 👍🏼🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Yay! Fractals!
He went from Ted to Todd.
I had to...
Oh hey Monica !
brilliant...!
Loved it.
I had this happen to me but utilities weren't included. Know your rights as a tenant!
This used to happen alot on earth, God did a patch version 2024.58
oh my god, quick, make a weapon
Good point.
all the RPGers are rolling for constitution!!
He is so annoyingly unreliable! How could she tolerate him up to the point of moving in together?!😵💫
That's Blaine and Monica.
Wow it's Monica from Silicon Valley
Okay, I guess she should keep him
what wow
It’s Ethan from 90210!
I was thinking where have i seen her before? She'd a friend of Violet's in "she's the man" 😊
Monica from Silicon Valley?
This dude has to be a vegan
I wonder how they put up that curtain
Great acting.
One of the most annoying male characters ever written.
I hated how fragile he is.
So early no one has even had time to watch the whole video hum, lets hope this is fun!
It was!
Beyond fun.
Why are the guys always portrayed as unsure, manic and spineless cowards that the girl actually accuses him of? So played out already…
I have.
It's pretty clear the movie wants to show the alien planet as a good thing, an opportunity, but I can't but help imagine what comes next. Maybe the food is toxic to humans, or there's Xenomorphs hunting them at night. 😉
Yeah, or what about their family and friends that won’t know what happened to them ever?
@@GrechStudios I realize it might go against the movie's concept of "moving feeling like going into the unknown", but I think like a scene where you see other people also arrive into this alien word the same as they just had would help to not make it feel so hopeless. Them completely alone in a new world with no way back, no friends family like you say. That's not exactly a promising prospect.
It doesn't matter, he came for herrrrrrrrr *heart hands* now they can die happyyyyy :D
Melody , they are way too young to die happy and I would encourage you to expect more from this life . Take care .
@@terryoquinn8199 and I would encourage you to lighten up! I was making a humorous comment about fictional characters in a short film and you got all preachy :D
That guy is annoying.
thats the takeaway u get from this?
@@estoniass yep! 😂
I agree, Minnow. He seems to panic over everything.
Agreed, he’s annoying
Beautiful to look at. But annoying
Suggested title... "Camping".
Question... What happens when the creatures from that planet discover the portal to their living room?
The portals are one-way, remember?
Does Omeleto have films for grown-ups, too?
This is awful. The male character is especially obnoxious. He's not even comically bad. He's just bad.
Man up Todd, you irritating whiner
The dude is so over the top in every single moment that this is unwatchable. Love Omeleto, but this one doesn’t work
He was too weak.
@@crashpodROCK It helps if you watch the first part at point 75 speed
Not a good casting. The actor who plays Todd exaggerates and looses control of his character. Also, too many dialogues.
I think I would have called this one portals
I think they go on new planet it's good earth 🌎 is no more for life
I accidentally watched this vid early
Is he perhaps the worst actor ever? I think he might.
★★★☆☆☆☆
Not sure what that was about. The film is very well-produced, in technical terms. The characters are superficial though, and consequently the acting artificial, especially the guy. I mean, the only credible reason I see that she would want to be with him in the first place is that she is almost as annoying as him. But only almost. He seems to have a serious mental problem. And yet, it comes across as superficial.
Meh.
Dude you're better off without her anyway.
Funny. I was thinking the exact opposite.
Nobody has not even watched the whole video
That was nice of him to follow her. Took the risk and followed her even though he didn't know what was out there. I didn't like the female character.
I didn't like either. Each of them were too much of whatever they were doing for the story.
@@eugenetswong Hello Eugen, nice to see someone who felt similar. Most people here were commenting different so I started to feel isolated haha.
@@HopefulMathGirl I sense that there are hundreds of minority groups, and that the majority of us will dislike certain characters. Every now and then, a minority group will find its own favourite film on Omeleto. Until it's our turn, the rest of us just have to keep complaining. 😀
You are not alone!
