Guy's a freakin' psychopath - first instinct is to kill an unknown person, then assault himself. No wonder he's caught in an endless cycle of violence.
Well if you woke up obviously having been pistol-whipped, trapped upside down in some unknown place with a gun and torture implements on the table, wouldn't your response possibly be shoot first lest they be armed and ask questions later? Don't really think that was a psychopathic instinct but rather self-preservation at that point, no? I mean, what other possibility would all that information hold out about the nature of why you are there and who else is there with you?
Agreed. This was one of the few times I didn't have much sympathy when the main character in a DUST film came to a bad end. (I just finished watching "The Candidate" and I was sad for the main character, though I think that was the point. LOL)
@@Bonesiethecat For me it was the other way around. In "The Candidate", the protagonist was ready to pay $50 to have someone murdered by psychological trauma, just so he could get his job. Apparently, you missed that part. Here in this film "Shift", the protagonist killed someone in a sudden moment to protect his own life, then knocked someone unconscious to protect his girlfriend.... So, again, my opinion is the complete opposite of yours, Mr. Dilling. (Except I do agree that "Shift"'s protagonist acted stupidly, grabbing that cup and tablet, driving his double all the way back, etc.,---and yes, it would've been much better to find a way to avoid hurting anyone, but he was in survival mode.)
I suspected the main plot point when things started moving on their own. I was all but certain of the main plot twist when he shot the man at the door... and then you didn't show me the face of the man but had him move the body. I actually thought I was wrong, then the car scene happened and I knew I wasn't wrong... either I've watched/read way too much SF or this was really, *really* predictable.
I have my reservations on the execution as well, not the visuals so much as the character intelligence and motivation. A few obvious holes that can only be explained by the protagonist having a very below average IQ: Why doesn't he question that the gun works for him in the first place. Why doesn't he question the fact that his fingerprint works for the tablet. Why does he unquestioningly replicate the exact same sequence of events that he just underwent without a moment of hesitation.
@@DeathsOnTheYAxis He had no reason to turn him over, he didn't know there were clones of him at the time. He simply took advantage of having a weapon at hand and not knowing who the 'intruder' was. He knew he had killed him and may well have not wanted to look him in the face. The main point is the writer wanted it that way, as part of the mystery.
That was a great Short Film. I thoroughly enjoyed this. I do have a couple of questions regarding plot however, I was just wondering why the guy thought it was going to be a good idea to hit himself in the head with a baseball bat!! Why not just ask yourself 'hey twin what are you doing talking to my girl?' Other than that minor detail, a great short film. I must note it sounded great too, props to the sound engineer and extra props to Charlie Bray.
Hi Isla! The baseball bat was improvised, the actor just brought it on set and started hitting himself with it. I simply pressed record. Film is magical like that.
That loop he is in, is tighter than a Gordon knot!!!...insane how logic slipped his mind in this film...of course, being hit in the head, tied up, and hung upside would have that effect on anyone..would be nice to see more though...Kudos to Charlie and of course, DUST...wonderful...dialog and action kept to a minimal...enough to explain how the feature would transpire...hint hint...😏😏👌👍
the main problem for me is that he didnt notice at the garage that "hey man, these are my memories from 1 hours before" -> "hmmm, maybe i shouldnt attack that guy without any talking?"
Why would you bring the guy back to the same place where you were hanging upside down. There could be others around that had kidnapped you in the 1st place. that was a dumb move. I would have maybe gone to the police station, not directly back home in case the kidnappers thought I would head back there. I have no abs so would have been dangling to.
Not to mention, he killed the guy and fails to check his pockets? Doesn't he want to find out more about the kidnappers? And don't get me started on the fooling around with the briefcase while driving.
The first few minutes of this movie really intrigued me. Even the idea of the cup and other things moving around had me thinking " is this man an Android? Or caught in a virtual reality?" Sadly it turned into a old time Loop story and once it did that and became to predictable.
@@deniskoredisko371 Even with that, he is in the SAME time loop. The moment he wakes up he sees the same tools laying around as when he strings up his other self. The dude is either extremely daft, or, my favorite, it's just bad writing.

Everybody said time loop but the third man had a different colored shirt, so it wouldn't be just time travel, it would also deal with alternate realities. A small but maybe important detail if that was what they were going with, may have been other details but I'm tired
I cannot realise how is possible for a person to have a real deja vu, in the end of which the guy, at whose place you're standing, dies, and not even to think to change something in the situation
To anyone who liked this film, I highly recommend seeking out the British thriller Triangle; it has similar themes, to the point I was half-expecting the guy to discover a pile of duplicate bodies when he went to dispose of this one. The flicker effect is a neat way to address the minor changes from loop to loop, though.
I'm starting to think that this is some sort of virtual prison sentence for this guy, never ending cycle of death and Punishment because he clearly has a violent streak for murder cover-up and hitting people from behind without a moment's hesitation or doubt.
Quantum Leap meets Star Trek... The first time this series of events occurred, it was likely another guy (not the protagonist) who kidnapped and hung up our protagonist. However, while driving down the street in the BMW, the protagonist was quantum shifted into the reality of the original kidnapper. And, he was subsequently trapped in the final moments of the kidnapper's existence on that quantum level... It's interesting that, each occurrence of the incident saw our guy wearing a different colored sweater. This suggests that, rather than experiencing a simple time loop, our man was constantly shifting into a distinct quantum reality... always occupying the same time segment & reality of the original kidnapper. This shift may continue indefinitely, becoming less & less similar to the first incident, but always resulting in this guy living out the final hour of the kidnapper's life.

It’s a good movie actually. It just say that sometimes you can’t change what happen in time. Even though you can travel through time, your decision making will be the same at that particular moment of time. Other time travel movies always shows that a person can change the course of history if they can travelled time. But seldom forget that its ‘time’ who control everything and you will always make the same choices everytime. You can’t do anything about it. The guys stuck in it because he decide to loop himself in the time loop by choosing to blast that EMP device everytime. And so it says in this movie.
It's the 'grandfather paradox' in reverse... He shows up in his own past to be killed by his future self. If he hadn't been so rash, he could have invited himself for coffee and worked out the details of his sudden career change as a day-trader.
It reminds me of an old "Twilight Zone" dimensional travel story, where a bereaved husband travels to different dimensions, discovering a woman claiming his alter-ego is abusing her and begging for help to burn him in the furnace. He ends up murdering himself...
I confess--the second I saw the opening scene I wanted him to use the Force to get his lightsaber and... ;-) But seriously; this was quite a good take on a classic sci-fi trope. I really enjoyed it!
I don't usually leave negative comments about people's projects 'cause they may have put their heart and soul into it, but I find that hard to believe in this case. Sometimes an actor or a character turns me off and this guy did with both. Immediately. All the noise he made, like waking up strung up wasn't enough to make him think maybe he should STFU and listen before grunting & thrashing & pawing at things till they crashed over... and something about his eyes made me want him to keep staring at the tablet 'till he hit a tree.
I find myself really disliking the main character. His decision making was not smart starting with shooting someone without asking any questions. That could have been a child opening that door. I know it's not real but I really did find the man to be very unlikable.
Nah makes sense. Dude awakes to be tied by his feet hoisted up, frees himself and then sees himself in an abandoned building, a table full of potential torture devices and an odd gun. Suddenly seeing a cup shifting around before he could grab it the door opens... Yea lets ask the person opening the door wtf is going on... As a man, if I had the survival instinct to fight and free myself you best believe once that door opens I'm shooting whatever the hell came through. Though I can agree the main character is dislikable as he should have recognized he was setting himself up in a loop. Even if one doesn't believe or understand the idea of time travel, time loops I hardly doubt one would go through it all and hoise your own body up then leave, only return moments later to be killed by yourself; something had to of clicked. Poor writing.
@@pakde8002... Cutting myself free from that position is one thing... But I can't think of any way that the landing will NOT hurt, or potentially cause me serious injury.
Groundhog Day, but he'll never know it because he dies every time -- no compounding memories. However, if the sweater's color can change, what else might change? Some such changing detail could break the cycle.
I can see the man is going in a time loop and has probably done so countless times, but what I want to know is this: how many rounds are in that pistol? For the sake of discussion, Man #2 shoots Man #1, and takes the gun. Then later on Man #2 sees Man #3 and knocks him unconscious. As he ties him up he lays down the gun which is later taken by Man #3 after he cuts the rope. Man #3 then shoots Man #2. The cycle repeats and then Man #4 shoots Man #3, and Man #5 shoots Man #4, and Man #6 shoots Man #5.....and so on and so on, but at no time is the gun ever reloaded. It just keeps shooting and shooting without anyone reloading the gun. How many rounds are in that gun?
The guy was cycling through Dimensions that machine creates a dimensional bubble that allowed him to jump between dimensions and time, or it could be a time machine because he because he is stuck in a timeloop, but the varying factors in time changes small things like the color of clothing
What a twist. Reminds me of one of the Star Trek TNG episodes where they live the same time loop over and over and over again until they found a way out of it.
While I haven't seen anything like this before, and I liked it but as soon as he saw himeself in the garage, I predict the rest pretty quick. I knew there must be a good reason why they wouldn't show the face of the guy shot entering the garage. Soon as he was back at the same garage, my suspicions about the multi-positioning or multi-track dimensionality of the coffee cup, the township's name sign and the parking garage weapon as well as the overall plot were unfortunately confirmed. This one needed that extra plot twist somewhere like he was just a superfluous timeline possibility and having killed the main timeline self, all the timeline selfs would disappear snuffing himself out in his overly confident quest to prove he was the one and only real him. But then that too would have been a typical dark plot ending like many other dust films. Anyone else come up with a better twisted ending for this one?
Atelier d'un Wargamer. Nope, just a time loop that has happened multiple times hence the changed positions of cup and dumped body at the end. The changed road sign is puzzling though!
Atelier d'un Wargamer. Good point I can go with that. Therefore it’s possibly a transdimensional time loop. Interesting concept. Thanks for your input. 👍
If it's a time loop, why the clothes are different? If he's supposed to be the same guy trapped in a loop, he should be wearing the same colour, and the clothes are different. Maybe each time the loop starts again a new reality/ alternate timeline is created with subtle differences, like the mug position or the clothes. Meh. Nevermind.
This is one of the better DUST videos, although everything was predictable when he drove back to where he was initially. So, where did the car and time device initially come from?
Well, at least the time loop won’t last forever. Eventually his phone will run out of battery, the gun will run out of ammo, and the car with run out of gas.
Filmed in and around beautiful Bishop's Stortford, one place I'll never visit with a briefcase. I guess the time-warping security lock on his tablet is malfunctioning. I wonder how many loops he'll go through before thinking 'Nah, I've been mugged and kidnapped. I'm not gonna look at my work stuff today...' cos that was a lot of bodies on the pile of bricks.
Stuck in a unstable time loop that seems to be no way out or knowing he is even in one. A very Interesting concept and would like to see this progress further into something even more captivating.
1:30 man, i saw it coming. he's gonna need a chiropractor after that fall! i fell similarly & didn't know whether to laugh or to cry 2:15 he's glitching XD 3:52 driving left side automatic. what a disappointment that it wasn't a stick shift.... 4:28 he needs to bloody well stop & pull over to mess with that 11:38 i think he's glitching during the whole phone call as well XD
After watching a bunch of these Dust films, as soon as he didn't look at the guy he shot, you pretty much knew he had shot himself. Pretty predictable. Would have been a better film if they explained the briefcase a little.
This was pretty good although predictable. The bits that troubled me were his dead self in the pile of bricks moving around at the end which suggests it isn't a time loop because there are variations to it. Also I wasn't sure why he was so trigger happy in the first place/
I very much enjoyed this short film. While the plot was fairly simplistic, it had enough weirdness to it at the start where I wasn't 1000% sure what was happening, though I had a guess that he was *SPOILER ALERT* in an area of dimensional 'shift.' Clearly, when he saw the pictures of 'himself' and his girlfriend I had a feeling I was about to see something familiar, which I did and still enjoyed very much. My favourite shot was the final one, where you could not know for certain how many times he'd been through that. Excellent work, very enjoyable. Also, it was ell shot and acted- it drew me right in. ⭐⭐⭐✨
It seems like he's not only jumping in time, but also quantum dimensions. Cups shifting. Broken/unbroken bottles. That type of stuff. The real signature was the town changing names. (Otherwise, it could've really just been random noise in a time loop alone.) Nothing he did in the loop could've cause the name change. Also, keep in mind... someone took the pictures... someone wrote the documents... someone brought the time machine into existence... None of those were him. There had to be a separate originator at some point, in one of the quantum realities. In that reality, that guy gets shot, and this guy just vanishes. There is SOME hope (not much, but if the loop goes on for a long, long time, small chances can lead to near-certainty) that he will eventually somehow survive the loop.
@@MichaelMoore99 Ah, brilliant - thank you for that, it makes much more sense now. And the idea about the 'originator' is really intriguing. I might have to watch it again! Much appreciated!
He's obviously some kind of operator - skilled in combat and his modus operandi is the way of an agent of some sort. He's a time agent I think. The case is his time travel/alternate universe device. Somehow he xxxxxx up and got caught in the loop. This can't explain his relationship with Sam though.

It reminds me of an old "Twilight Zone" dimensional travel story, where a bereaved husband travels to different dimensions, discovering a woman claiming his alter-ego is abusing her and begging for help to burn him in the furnace. He ends up murdering himself...
Glitch in The Matrix, Disturbance in the Force ? That was a roller coaster ride.
I confess--the second I saw the opening scene I wanted him to use the Force to get his lightsaber and... ;-) But seriously; this was quite a good take on a classic sci-fi trope. I really enjoyed it!
I'm really glad they didn't pretend that fall onto concrete on his back wouldn't hurt A LOT.
Very well done. Hanging the body upside down is a bit of a mystery, though.
Nice production values. Beautiful photography. It was entertaining for a bit. Thanks.
I don't usually leave negative comments about people's projects 'cause they may have put their heart and soul into it, but I find that hard to believe in this case.
Sometimes an actor or a character turns me off and this guy did with both. Immediately. All the noise he made, like waking up strung up wasn't enough to make him think maybe he should STFU and listen before grunting & thrashing & pawing at things till they crashed over... and something about his eyes made me want him to keep staring at the tablet 'till he hit a tree.
B30pt87 yes! the noises he made were unbelievably irritating, for one - although this may have been a directorial decision
I find myself really disliking the main character. His decision making was not smart starting with shooting someone without asking any questions. That could have been a child opening that door. I know it's not real but I really did find the man to be very unlikable.
Nah makes sense. Dude awakes to be tied by his feet hoisted up, frees himself and then sees himself in an abandoned building, a table full of potential torture devices and an odd gun. Suddenly seeing a cup shifting around before he could grab it the door opens... Yea lets ask the person opening the door wtf is going on...
As a man, if I had the survival instinct to fight and free myself you best believe once that door opens I'm shooting whatever the hell came through.
Though I can agree the main character is dislikable as he should have recognized he was setting himself up in a loop. Even if one doesn't believe or understand the idea of time travel, time loops I hardly doubt one would go through it all and hoise your own body up then leave, only return moments later to be killed by yourself; something had to of clicked. Poor writing.
@@pakde8002...
Cutting myself free from that position is one thing...
But I can't think of any way that the landing will NOT hurt, or potentially cause me serious injury.
This is really trippy I love it!
Groundhog Day, but he'll never know it because he dies every time -- no compounding memories. However, if the sweater's color can change, what else might change? Some such changing detail could break the cycle.
Poor guy. I enjoyed this one. Thanks, DUST.
I can see the man is going in a time loop and has probably done so countless times, but what I want to know is this: how many rounds are in that pistol?
For the sake of discussion, Man #2 shoots Man #1, and takes the gun. Then later on Man #2 sees Man #3 and knocks him unconscious. As he ties him up he lays down the gun which is later taken by Man #3 after he cuts the rope. Man #3 then shoots Man #2. The cycle repeats and then Man #4 shoots Man #3, and Man #5 shoots Man #4, and Man #6 shoots Man #5.....and so on and so on, but at no time is the gun ever reloaded. It just keeps shooting and shooting without anyone reloading the gun.
How many rounds are in that gun?
Amazing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 as usual!!
That guy is his own worst enemy lol. I enjoyed it.
Enjoyed it....it did what it needed to in under 15 minutes...thank you
The guy was cycling through Dimensions that machine creates a dimensional bubble that allowed him to jump between dimensions and time, or it could be a time machine because he because he is stuck in a timeloop, but the varying factors in time changes small things like the color of clothing
solid. nice one.
The most expected unexpected ending of all time.
You just blew my mind! 🤯
Love all the cool short films and should be more available.
It happens over and over and over again. Cought in a timeloop 🤔😱
Brilliant 👍👍👍
When the guy shot the other guy, I knew it was a loop, I jumped to the last minutes and I was right.
awesome.... Good job!!
Brilliant!
What a twist. Reminds me of one of the Star Trek TNG episodes where they live the same time loop over and over and over again until they found a way out of it.
While I haven't seen anything like this before, and I liked it but as soon as he saw himeself in the garage, I predict the rest pretty quick. I knew there must be a good reason why they wouldn't show the face of the guy shot entering the garage. Soon as he was back at the same garage, my suspicions about the multi-positioning or multi-track dimensionality of the coffee cup, the township's name sign and the parking garage weapon as well as the overall plot were unfortunately confirmed. This one needed that extra plot twist somewhere like he was just a superfluous timeline possibility and having killed the main timeline self, all the timeline selfs would disappear snuffing himself out in his overly confident quest to prove he was the one and only real him. But then that too would have been a typical dark plot ending like many other dust films. Anyone else come up with a better twisted ending for this one?
Another nice happy story from Dust, complete with the rampantly overused cliche greyA/blue washed out motif.
Really cool!!!
Predictable plot. Good filmography.
Whoa that was great!
The old caught in a time loop story but liked it. 👍
Kelvin130552 I thort it was more an an alternate dimension but not? A mixture maybe?
Atelier d'un Wargamer. Nope, just a time loop that has happened multiple times hence the changed positions of cup and dumped body at the end. The changed road sign is puzzling though!
Atelier d'un Wargamer. Good point I can go with that. Therefore it’s possibly a transdimensional time loop. Interesting concept. Thanks for your input. 👍
If it's a time loop, why the clothes are different? If he's supposed to be the same guy trapped in a loop, he should be wearing the same colour, and the clothes are different. Maybe each time the loop starts again a new reality/ alternate timeline is created with subtle differences, like the mug position or the clothes. Meh. Nevermind.
J.F.L. Bousquet Probably a transdimensional timeloop with the alternative differences! Need the producers input.
This is one of the better DUST videos, although everything was predictable when he drove back to where he was initially.
So, where did the car and time device initially come from?
hey, where is my favourite "your future is dust" at the end?!
Not one of your best. On to the next!
I guess the time loop will stop when the car run out of gas..
I've watched a few of these and many of them left me confused. This one kicks ass!
He’s in a time warp! Great clip!
Well, at least the time loop won’t last forever. Eventually his phone will run out of battery, the gun will run out of ammo, and the car with run out of gas.
Wow. One continuous time loop.
Re-spawn loop! 😂 Captivating indeed 😊
this was good!!
Filmed in and around beautiful Bishop's Stortford, one place I'll never visit with a briefcase. I guess the time-warping security lock on his tablet is malfunctioning. I wonder how many loops he'll go through before thinking 'Nah, I've been mugged and kidnapped. I'm not gonna look at my work stuff today...' cos that was a lot of bodies on the pile of bricks.
Okay, a time loop story, not bad. I liked the editing. The camera was nicely positioned too. Sound was good. A decent job.
Stuck in a unstable time loop that seems to be no way out or knowing he is even in one.
A very Interesting concept and would like to see this progress further into something even more captivating.
Looking at the bright side! He never needs to adjust the seat position! lol
1:30 man, i saw it coming. he's gonna need a chiropractor after that fall! i fell similarly & didn't know whether to laugh or to cry
2:15 he's glitching XD
3:52 driving left side automatic. what a disappointment that it wasn't a stick shift....
4:28 he needs to bloody well stop & pull over to mess with that
11:38 i think he's glitching during the whole phone call as well XD
very cool. liked it
I simply loved it
i want to see more!!! Charlie Bray betta come thru with more episodes...damn this had me asking more questions than anything...i want MURRRR!
So, a wonderful protagonist with zero empathy and no qualms about hurting people.
Talk about identity theft!!! This short was pretty good...how many people you know have knocked slapped and at themselves?? Good job
After watching a bunch of these Dust films, as soon as he didn't look at the guy he shot, you pretty much knew he had shot himself. Pretty predictable. Would have been a better film if they explained the briefcase a little.
Now imagine this in a 10+ hour youtube loop.
The only 10+ hour RUclips loop I've ever encountered is "the Derp song"...
Go ahead... you'll hate me later...
This was pretty good although predictable. The bits that troubled me were his dead self in the pile of bricks moving around at the end which suggests it isn't a time loop because there are variations to it. Also I wasn't sure why he was so trigger happy in the first place/
He is or was an idiot. That's why he shot himself.
I very much enjoyed this short film. While the plot was fairly simplistic, it had enough weirdness to it at the start where I wasn't 1000% sure what was happening, though I had a guess that he was
*SPOILER ALERT*
in an area of dimensional 'shift.' Clearly, when he saw the pictures of 'himself' and his girlfriend I had a feeling I was about to see something familiar, which I did and still enjoyed very much. My favourite shot was the final one, where you could not know for certain how many times he'd been through that.
Excellent work, very enjoyable. Also, it was ell shot and acted- it drew me right in.
⭐⭐⭐✨
Awesome but this tym i Predicted it 😅
But Great Work 🙌
Well this wasn't the first time you watched it.
I hate time loops,I was in one for 15 years until I retired 🌞
I enjoyed that one!
Hang on - if he's identical to his other self, what was the problem with his fingerprint? Or have I missed something?
It seems like he's not only jumping in time, but also quantum dimensions. Cups shifting. Broken/unbroken bottles. That type of stuff. The real signature was the town changing names. (Otherwise, it could've really just been random noise in a time loop alone.) Nothing he did in the loop could've cause the name change.
Also, keep in mind... someone took the pictures... someone wrote the documents... someone brought the time machine into existence... None of those were him. There had to be a separate originator at some point, in one of the quantum realities. In that reality, that guy gets shot, and this guy just vanishes. There is SOME hope (not much, but if the loop goes on for a long, long time, small chances can lead to near-certainty) that he will eventually somehow survive the loop.
@@MichaelMoore99 Ah, brilliant - thank you for that, it makes much more sense now. And the idea about the 'originator' is really intriguing. I might have to watch it again! Much appreciated!
He's obviously some kind of operator - skilled in combat and his modus operandi is the way of an agent of some sort. He's a time agent I think. The case is his time travel/alternate universe device. Somehow he xxxxxx up and got caught in the loop. This can't explain his relationship with Sam though.
Very cool thanks
nice twist, great ideas, keep it up
I knew it. Well done!
