- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2021
- Roy is a sci-fi drama short film about a robot mechanic holed away in a rundown barn, living in a world of rustic antiques melded with futuristic sensibilities. He is a man forgotten by society and spends his days tinkering at projects. That is until someone opens the door into his shop.
Roy is a story about compassion in the face of those affected by violence and despair. It explores the themes of how we relate to strangers and friends around us who have become bitter and jaded by the world.
Roy poses this question: how do we face those transformed by violence and angry at the world?
Loved the story, but it would have been better with a "CC" option...I even had my ear buds in and couldn't make out some of what was said :(
Agreed - CC is needed for some of us older folks.
@@jimmoore6033 Couldnt understand hardly a word the female said, Im sure I would have understood it better and enjoyed it more with CC
I always use the closed captions if I can. I have a hard time understanding sometimes...
Less than 5 minutes to clearly convey the meaning of self-sacrifice through empathy.
So proud the crew and cast! And so honored to have my film win beside them too! ruclips.net/video/nSC4ptU79-8/видео.html
there is no such thing as "self-sacrifice".
There is only value and choice.
People always choose what they value more.
I leave it to you to determine what he valued more.
@@Hiraghm I respectfully disagree. Self-sacrifice happens somewhere every day. It happens when you give your life for another or give up something you need to benefit the life of another. Value plays a part; but it is not the whole.
This film parallels the emotion I feel when my smartphone reaches 2% battery life and dies shortly thereafter.
Beautiful story, and acting. It's the whole package. Can't wait to see more from your team.
At times they speak so softly, even at full volume I can't understand what's being said.
So grateful my film was selected alongside this film!!! ruclips.net/video/nSC4ptU79-8/видео.html
Compassion is what the world needs right now - such a beautiful story, so well executed - I would like to see more. Story telling without all the flashy distracting visuals - well done!
Not Compassion, Altruism.
Yes
Compassion as well
Compassion for whom? Altruism by whom?
"Why are you helping me? I have nothing to give."
Because I have something left to give.
he didnt say that, dont quoete it like that was said
@@spooks77 Please read it again. The quotes end at what she said. The rest is me interpreting what he did.
"BAM POW CRUNCH" Right in the gut. This is like the original BLADERUNNER with Harrison Ford, but in only just under 8 minutes. Very well done.
I was coming to comment on Blade runner and wondered if the name Roy was an intentional reference to the replicant 😅
This had such a beautiful and surreal look to it! The actors both did a great job! A lovely ending! An exceptional film that deserves WAY more veiws! 💙💙❤️❤️
Are you sure u are not part of the team
God rest Leopold's soul, and bless you all who carry his memory.
This deserves more views, likes, and subscriptions. Great work, I loved her being barefoot in the snow despite the heavy overcoat, reaaaaaaaally sold immediately that something was extremely wrong with this poor girl. Best wishes and all goodness go with you
WOW, what a beautiful story! Thank you so much for sharing.
Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends (John 15:13).
Mr. Fifelski is someone with talent. Beautifully shot and editing was first rate. Congratulations on award as it was richly deserved.
Um, yes, I would like to see the other 82 minutes and 56 seconds of this beautiful masterpiece, please.
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friend.
Yes!
Such a good movie. Thank you.❤ Love the acting, the sound, the story. Beautiful.
Great job, Joseph. It was nice to watch your work again.
This would have way more views if it were distributed by Dust
An exciting episode.Almost without words, the two actors created memorable characters and did it very well. With such actors, the continuation of the event could be promising. Unforgivable if this the end of the story!
There's generosity and then there's tearing your own heart out for a total stranger. What a simp.
IKR
When is self giving considered a bad thing!
total SIMP!
@@stangurule1017self giving is considered a bad thing when she's an attempted murderer with no redeeming qualities beyond being blond foreign and hot.
A powerful riveting example of self sacrifice for another's redemption. Top shelf entertainment!

@@Hiraghm I respectfully refer you to the existent definition of self sacrifice in Webster's dictionary. Feel free to explain your analysis of the film.
They should make a sequel
A solid calling card. Nice style, good acting, and a tight script that leaves you wanting more. Kudos!
Great work. More please!
That’s how you make an awesome Sci-Fi short film… Simply phenomenal 😎.
Excellent! More please!
Impressively Emotional. Wasnt expecting such an ending...
Looking forward to the next project.
Bravo! Well Done!!
More please...
The shots taken were amazing, having a lot of emotion and strong story
An eight minute masterpiece!
Really enjoyed the film! I wasn't anticipating the ending which was a pleasant experience.
Part 2: Roy wakes up and finds her staring at him. And then we see what she goes through to save him...know I had to.
Outstanding sci-fi!!!
Oh my gosh made me cry and this girl don't cry (often anyway).... loved this so much! A BIG KUDOS!
Great story. But, when he yanked his power to give it to her, how did he then have energy to make the switch?
An excellent question !
Stupid idea :)))
beautiful short! Well done all around on this!
Damn, that was good! Well done!
this should be shared on DUST.
This was really good. I was roaming around to troubleshoot my car acting up. Glad i watched this. I figured he was going to help her. But not like he did and sacrificed himself. I thought he was human
Beautifully done movie. ♥️
Amazing work! Waiting for more..
Oh my god that was heartbreaking but most beautiful story.
Excellent. Thank you
Ha, a Schindler! That name has a solid reputation to it. And a pretty famous movie. Well done.
Excellent short film my guys. I loved both the acting and the message conveyed. If I may make one suggestion, please for the love of all that is holy, post a link to the film score or upload it to RUclips. That may have been even more moving than the film itself.
Heavy. Hope it is this way one day for us all.
That was exceptional work by everyone.
Simply well done, excellent film creation story teller, congrats to all
Beautifully simple and truly deep in meaning
Time for a part two on this one… too!!!
thankx havent watched it all yet just the start... love'n IT! :)
Great! I had my earphones in and could hear everything just fine!
Just stunning...
Loved this
impressive twist in s short time frame well done
Brilliant movie. Loved the premise of self sacrifice, and goodness.
Excellent. Hit me in the feelz it did. 🤖❤️🥰
just watched this great short film, as others have said way back, great story, acting and production. Loved it.
A very enigmatic short. Beautifully acted and presented. A really professional presentation, from start to finish. Can't praise it enough 👍
I loved it ! Great short folks , well acted , sets , music , all around well done . Good job , everyone involved should take some pride in it even though it was only 5 minutes long .
Beautiful
In the description it says Roy is a “robot mechanic” but does this mean he is a mechanic who repairs robots or that he is a robot that is also a mechanic? Fun to ponder.🤔😊
Bravo and encore. Thanks a lot for a riveting and emotionally intense short film. A thought just struck me:
That the director used machine intelligence to demonstrate to us humans core essentials of what it means to be a person. Kinda like a 3d representation of a 4d object on a 2d surface. Anyhoo lets not ramble any further.
WOW, Amazing job...Peace
Katerina kovalchyk is a star! I loved all of this. Bravo?
Speechless ✨ 😍.
Thought provoking story. Great work thank you
Very _very_ well done! Thank you for creating it, all the preproduction work, the actors, all the work in post.
[edit]
The under 100K views this film has (late Sept 2021) borders on criminal.
Wow, great cinematography, and well-written, Sci-Fi is such a challenging genre, kudos!
WHY do so many of these short films ignore the SOUND quality. So toned and muted that I can't understand a word of it. And NO Closed Caption option for me.....
Just remember the old saying "Beggars can't be Choosers.". ;-)
@@timetofly291 Just remember the old saying; "If one doesn't care about the quality of their art then no one else will care about it either".
Low budget/Low Fi
Because they are deaf.😊
@@georgespalding7640 Exactly! you dealt with this dismissive comment very well!
I’m glad to see comments regarding the ability to understand the script since there is no transcript or CC. I guess it was good but I’m not willing to blast the volume above reasonable to try to understand it. There are just too many choices out there that observe common sense to bother with this. That’s my only criticism, which is really minor considering how easily it could be remedied, even retroactively.
She did have remarkable, captivating eyes.
Beautiful.
We gotta thing, its called robot love.
Wow that was a very good short 👏
I like Dust for all the sci Fi shorts it has.
Pure Empathy...both of them
Great short film. Just don’t know why a robot needs manicured nails to survive in apocalyptic world. Other than that everything was awesome.
I'm guessing these robots were not manufactured in this post-apocalyptic world, but were made in happier times.
@ one for America and that is why your robots will not survive after the apocalypse !
Well her hair and makeup is done and,
She is a lady... robot.
Of course rough, dirty nails would be so much more appropriate...
@@grandpacapricorn928 No her hair and makeup are not *done*
She is a robot. The makeup is paint. The hair is some kind of wire net made to look like hair but is really never mussed. The nails are retractable tools/weapons.
It's a _robot_ . It's designed. It has a sweet-appearing personality to throw you off the scent, until it's too late. Even the skin can be used against you. 1) It can wrap you up and suffocate you. 2) It can spit acid at you. 3) Touch it and it can electrocute you.
4) Secret Mode. Has not yet been used but reportedly is a pocket nuke involved.
_There are rumors of potential future upgrades..._
Great work.
Love it. Great, great color, acting, editing, etc. The camera movements were a tiny bit distracting at times, but this was very well made. Bravo!
I kept waiting to hear the Dust lady at the end 💫
very good scene
high quality
smooth
Wow, cinematography is so cute
Excellent!
I LOVED IT SHORT FILMS.
2023: WoW. Beautiful. Thank You & Best Regards to the whole team.
Poignant!
Shit, that was good. Hope you get to do something longer out of it ^^
I really enjoyed this short film. It was nicely made, well paced, and I was hooked from the start. I loved the actors performances in this. They both did such a good job acting in this. I also loved the camera work in it. It was nicely done. All in all, I really enjoyed this film
Very good!
Much praise for that uncredited BMW in the background.
Wow, impressive. Katerina looks so beautiful here.
Awesome...✌🏻🥹💕
a beautiful story, thank you for sharing. This is why I gave up Hollywood's endless stream of dull reboots years ago. Original stories by gifted storytellers is far more enjoyable and engaging.
The guy resembles Chris Evans in Snowpiercer.
More please 😊
Beautiful any more
watching this at 7:00 PM with cup a coffee
Captivating journey into the human in a robot.
Wow!
I loved it!!!!!
but, hoy was roy able to transplant his "core" without dying on the process?
