I will check it out. Well done, beautifully shot in the blues and dark grays spectrum of colors. Crisp and clean. I throughly enjoyed. it. There are so many movies of this genre, but you guys nailed it...!
This production just goes to show that it doesn't take overpaid and famous actors and ludicrous hollyweird budgets to create a wonderful film. Truly entertaining. WELL DONE ALL OF YOU!
I spent the first 15 minutes thinking this was a properly financed and professional film piece. Then I read in the description you made this in high school! amazing. Bravo
Nobody is going to say that Timothy Chivallete did a good job... so I'm here to say Timothy Chivalette did a great job. He showed more actual emotion than everyone else in the film. Good job by everyone.
As high school students I must say that you all did a damn good job with writing and performing. I actually enjoyed it. I did see how things were moved around but it all came together. Great Job. very talented. keep up the good word,
Mark, I'd like to congratulate you on "Year Six" If for no other reason, just getting it done. I started making Super 8 films in the 6th grade, and I've worked professionally as an actor, comic, and writer in films and TV since 1988, and I wanted to let you know, watching your film actually inspired me. Keep up the good work, and don't ever think you need to come out here to Hollywood to "make it!" because you've already done more at your age than most of the so-called professionals in LA. More than anything, I give you credit for getting it made - THATS the hardest thing to do. I've personally failed at as many projects as I've succeeded at, and I'm only talking about actually getting them finished. People who sit out there doing nothing but talking will never know how it feels to accomplish something like this - You do. Keep slugging away, good luck, and keep up the good work! :)
***** Hey thanks so much! It truly is a ton of work and stress working on projects, especially one as lengthy as this, but there's just something about it that I love and don't think I'll ever stop doing even if never making it anywhere
Been watching a lot of these short films on here and I must say that they put Hollywood to shame. With no budget and they turn out a short movie that you want to see more of whereas Hollywood turn out a film that has a budget of millions and is a disgrace. Keep up the good work people
This is an absolutely amazing movie and the best post apocalyptic movie that I have ever seen. The camera angles, pacing, cinematography, editing, acting, sequencing and background music are excellent. For High Schoolers to independently produce a film of such high quality is a remarkable feat. I hope this film crew sticks together. They could have a bright future.
James Foard -you need to watch "The Road"' or "Road Warrior'..or "I am Legend"..or "The Omega Man", or..many others, this is quite amateurish, but I enjoyed it guys.
I must say, excellent film. I thought you did a great job. The cinematography and locations were perfect and really amplified the mood. The lo-fi minimalist indie music really fit well. Kind of the way John Carpenter used constant finger snaps or low drum beats in the background throughout his films. Like an ever present anticipation build up for something that never happens and leaves you nervous. You found a balance of action and introspective down time. Constant action is the ruin of many films that have much better potential. The slower, more realistic scenes give the viewer time to ponder what life would really be like in a world like you portrayed and how brutal it would actually be. An hour well spent. Thank you so much.
Disregard the negatives and the "I know better" types. I enjoyed your movie and appreciated everything the entire crew did to make it a success. I remember back in my high school days using a super 8 camera and you guys have so much more equipment (and talent) to work with. I hope and pray you go along way in your life and whatever ambitions you follow for a career. Anyone who can make a production like this will have a lot of possibilities for their life.
+Snow blind94 Thank you so much! We never had more than four people on set at one time. Most of the time it was just the two of us with a camera, mic, tripod and backpacks filled with whatever props we needed. But no matter what it was always a good time.
I am not going to watch the movie as I like more relevant thinking of the apocalypse....But I thank-you for engaging our youth in such a good venture....It builds Character for our doomed future
So you're one of "those" types? You can't take constructive criticism, without offense. Constructive criticism is a must in any area of life. Life isn't all rainbows and fluffy puppies, quite the contrary. Constructive criticism, criticism in general, is what gets people above and beyond. Of course balancing praises, encouragements and constructive criticism is needed but if you only give praise and encouragement, you're keeping people from doing better.. which defeats the purpose in growing mentally, physically & spiritually. Accept constructive criticism just as much as you would encouragement and praise.
Wow, watched the whole thing before reading the description, I thought this was just an indie film someone had uploaded, can't believe this was a project you guys worked on as seniors, that's amazing! It was crazy good, you guys are talented keep it up!
Holy shit that short film had me on the edge of my seat the whole time damn that was such an amazing movie great job I gotta say the places y'all chose for the scenes were amazing and so were the actors many claps for this
The availability of low cost HD filming has the potential to completely redefine and break the barriers of traditional movie making. It's a great step forward
Honestly just came across this video and watched for about a minute wondering what it was. Soon after it started to interest me and I watched to the end and I'm glad I did! I was impressed with how believable the setting was with no cgi or big budget props, etc. Well done!
Wc captain who the fuck says your life is precious? Goddam, u haven't understood anything. This movie is absolutely awesome. Of course u don't like it cuz u prefer spongeboob or other cartoons.
For a high school film this was awesome. I'm not saying it didn't have it's problems but come on, it's totally independent. As a screenwriter I know how a budget can influence a project. Keep making movies fellas. You'll only get better.
This was a really watchable, engaging movie. Lots of atmosphere and character, great locations, very believable. Love the use of natural sounds, wind, water, birds, flies and the acoustic soundtrack fitted well. A shame you didn't get to complete it fully but the cut you made is enjoyable none the less.
I'm back here after a couple of years. Had to run searches and ask the A.I. to help with 'dystopia' and 'post-apoxyourlips' that finally delivered the link. The reason I'm back is that I have consumed a lot of video since then, some of it exceptional, some of it good and some of it crap, some of it not memorable. I came back because this film left a RESONANCE. I mean that to be the highest of praise because the visuals and the acting and the storyline were so compelling that it stuck in my mind that long to want to see it again. One time when your film crept back into my mind I played movie critic and had a hard time believing the line from Daniel that he was traveling on business. He just looked too young. That was my problem: I'm so old that I couldn't even remember back to those days when I was young and traveling on business. So even a single critique vaporized on introspection. Ten stars. I noticed your links to other projects so I will be checking those out as well.
brilliant!! Good effort for a crew so young. I really enjoyed the cinematography and the sound editing. And the acting was pretty good! keep on making movies!
"... as high school seniors..." Wow! This is really well done and ambitious for high school seniors "... with the intent of being... " a first feature film. Bravo gentlemen. Gotta say, the big guy who played... the 'sales man', made an awesome character. Can't wait to follow the eleven part post-apocalyptic series
Hi, thanks so much for uploading this movie which has excellent picture, sound, and story that is exciting and interesting. Happy fall and winter, I enjoyed it from start to finish. Happy holidays, I love this kind of films. Great taste in entertainment, please upload more stuff which I look forward to see. Many thanks for sharing and for making my day less boring. You are generous, considerate, and thoughtful. To your health and safety always
Doug Orilio haha, wow I guess that's what I get for trying to defend a troll. I should have known better. This is why I avoid commenting, people like you that love to fight online. I can't believe I felt bad for you.
I NEVER comment, but this time I just HAD to... BRAVO & bloody well done, all of you. We hope that y'all go onto great things in life with your work... Who cares about editing foux pas,,, overall,, EXCELLENT - Thank you for sharing :)
Guys, I think this was awesome! Better than some of the professional budget stuff I have seen. Really great plot line too! You should be super proud and I hope you've gone on to do more stuff like this!
I think this is just brilliant - especially with the constraints you faced making it. It's held my attention far better than some movies with much bigger budgets and more "names" to their credit. Well done! I'm enjoying the series too.
i can honnestly say one thing ...one of the best low budget movies i have ever seen in my life ...im 50 in 6 months ...so i have seen plenty ...good job!
You know, I stumbled on this thinking it was a musical piece (don't ask), but was intrigued enough to watch it. I have to say that it's beautifully shot, and very well-edited. I understand just how difficult it is to get something of this (or any) length done with absolutely no budget, so I wanted to tell you how impressed I am with what you accomplished. Please, continue making thoughtful, evocative movies as you progress. I am now subscribing to see what you continue to do.
+Rise and Shine! Productions You guys should go for crowd funding and do more. Really impressed, good content and storyline made it very enjoyable to watch.
I write for a living, and I'm working on several pulp/action/horror pieces for the new year. I tend to write to music (usually scores from films) so I wasn't looking specifically for a musical, but a style, of music when this came across my feed.
I actually enjoyed the entire thing except for the guitar. It sounded too much like someone who had just learned a few chords and wa la. Especially around the early part in the first 10 or 15 minutes was simply irritating to me, monotonously repetitive with 3-5 semi-simple chords/ notes. I almost shut it off but persevered and really enjoyed all other aspects. Good Work Guys.
Yea I know it was made like that with intent that is why it exists like that. I really do not mean to be so critical about it. It was really the first big score near the early part that just got me. It went on way too long and sounded like what a newbie would be doing after learning a few chords. I know because I did it like that 40 years ago. LOL
2nd Timothy Chapter 3 I know exactly what you mean and have to agree.To me it sounded like some noob living alone in the post-apocalypse ,getting bored and learning guitar.Still a good short movie compared to others on YT :)
Good job. People often dont realise the hard work it takes to create, film and post edit anything. It isnt easy especially with other commitments. I hope you guys have bright careers ahead of you.
Cinematography framing and composition balance of characters and background elements is excellent, often beautiful. I can immediately think of another director - that had this rare "artist's eye" for the pictorial aspect of a story. That person was Stanley Kubrick.
I read the summary. But then, after learning it was written and produced by high school students, I deliberately avoided reading the comments till after, so as not to have a biased opinion going into it. Honestly, I really enjoyed this! Great job, guys!
First let me say how amazingly brilliant that was. I believe you could submit it to the independent filmmakers awards. Such incredible acting, editing and sound. I still can't believe this was done by high school students. I was completely drawn in. I could not stop watching. The hopeful pain and anguish was palpable. Well done.
I worked as a Producer with high school film makers and as a professional for Major Studios...you all did an outstanding job..the storyline, the locations, effects..how many of you did this ?. It had the feel and flow of a Studio shoot...and quite frankly was far better then a lot that is on cable these days. I hope all of you are pursuing careers. i know a filmmaker about the same age as you that I am going to send this to. Perhaps you could all work together, you will find him and a couple associates are very good as well.. they both have things on here as well as other releases.
Hi thanks so much for watching. This was for the most part done entirely by two people. Myself doing the cinematography and camerawork, editing, writing and directing and Mark helping with writing, as well as doing lighting, the soundtrack, and of course acting.
Hi, it's Dec 2018, I just found your movie, and I enjoyed it! I saw you went on and made more short films, good for you. I read some of the comments, what a bunch of jealous haters putting this and that down, what have they made? Nothing! But you did a great job at your first film, and I can't wait to watch your other films. I hit the subscribe button, good luck on any future endeavors you might have. 👏🏼😺👀👂
Michele Conley jealous people are very sad i used to get jealous when i was younger but whats the point life to short and why make yourself miserable being JEALOUS. andy England 🇬🇧🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅😀
@@andrewdaley3081 Ahhh that was nice! I'm glad you grew up and saw that being jealous didn't get you anything. I always say Ask God for what you want, if you don't he won't know what to give you 🚫🤓🤞
This is was too good. I cried in the end, that was a bit brutal, I think the blood and brutality too the Walking Dead, if the was a movie, this would sell. The acting was a bit rough though, but once I got to know the characters, it came together almost perfectly.
Thank you for letting us enjoy your film, it was great. Thank you for being your amazing selves everyone, peace and much love sent from Ontario, Canada.
My initial reaction was what a stupid movie THEN I read your comments!!! For a high school group of kids on zero budget with a home style personal camera and probably home editing software, this is REMARKABLY well done - from the editing which is quite interesting - I realize you originally intended the factory scene to be the end or so it seems -- but moving parts around you've come up with a movie open to interpretation. Great camera work, fine acting -- just an all around great first job. I sincerely hope that those involved have moved on to careers in the film industry. If not, you all have missed your calling!!
"careers in the film industry" some pretty low expectations. with the democratizing nature of the internet hopefully we will redefine fame through independent production and free dissemination. Fuck the corporatocracy and the pedophilic handlers of Hollywood
I'll tell you right now I watch a lot of these sci-fi shorts and that one was absolutely the best that I have seen! Freaking awesome job guys!! You left me on the edge of my seat with that ending! You've got to make another one that shows him getting to his girl! Lol I'm serious this is driving me crazy! LOL keep it up guys you are doing just awesome work.
This a brilliant movie. Thoroughly intriguing just absorb your every thought till the end. This is a moving leaving you asking for MORE !!!!!! Well done
1st rule in a apocalyptic time ....... never eveeeer trust a chubby guy . No food and he still manage to be in that weight?? Hmm just run for your life
I like the ending anyway fellas, he'd put up with six years of hope, staying true to himself and Alice. Finally, his only hope was to become like the other survivors. He loves Alice. She is with them and he knows now how he must be to get her back. There is still hope. Sad as it is now. Great little film. Applause!!!!
Love this short, probably one of the best I've seen, and keep coming back to it. Great score and thanks for the "spoilers", thanks for salvaging it. Sometimes there are no answers so Daniel not finding his girlfriend works. Had Daniel found Alice it might seem formulaic.
The fight scenes were well coreographed, directed and edited, worthy of a pro, the storyline we had was a bit tropey but for a first time by highschoolers not bad. The SFX for no budget also very good, If you ever get to reshoot, after a nuke you should never sleep on the ground, your inhaling fallout, anyone looking at blast light is pretty much dead already and you pull water for drinking from fast moving water not still, theres all sorts of nastys in still water.
Very well done. This is was the first youtube movie I streamed over roku and watched on the big screen. It is scary to imagine SHTF will be like this and probably even worse.
Look forward to seeing this guy's movies in the future!!! My whole family loved this movie. I found it bored this weekend wanting to watch all the end of 🌎 movies. This was better than some of the high budget movies done. For a high school kid.....this was amazing. Remember this guy's name. I see him making a huge hit.
I'll be back to finish this, as I was just craving dialogue, I got it, then t was gone in a flash. Loved what I saw, just need a little brain cell adjustment before I can catch on. Keep up the good work.
amazing u guys did this with zero budget and so young,really you have Awsome futures ahead of you, let the haters hate...good luck I'll keep my eyes peeled for you guys
Rise and Shine! Productions I for one will be checking out every single movie production! I just found you years later and hope you’re making films, you have talent! Can you direct me to, if you have more?
Great little film. Timothy Chivalette was especially excellent. Solid performance from the main actor too. Loved the post rock music throughout. Top work!!
The chubby guy is weird and perfect for this role. His voice is too much. This film is truly a great find. Don't stop keep evolving this is truly a great accomplishment on a no budget scale. 👏👏👏👏👏🏼🤘
I think this is a great movie. I really enjoyed watching it, and I thought the acting was great. Music fit the scenes and was excellent too. Make more movies! I've seen major big budget movies here on RUclips where the story and the actors (even famous ones) sucked, and I gave them bad reviews. I can't believe this was made by high school guys. You are really good actors. Perfect timing, etc. I am thrilled to have found your movie and to know that a great movie can be made with a low budget.
Dear Rise and Shine Productions, I found the feature entertaining and very watchable. The only continuity inconsistencies seemed to be the variable bandage. But, as you explained the difficulties and interruptions in production, that's understandable. I would like to compliment the many aspects of your effort which I found worthwhile. The cinematography was solid, professional, and clearly shot by someone with a good eye. The acting was good, especially the timing on the dialogue. It's so easy to rush through a scene, but this paced quite well. The score, limited as it was in instrumentation, fit the piece well, was cleanly performed, and added much to the flavor of it. The editing, especially since it was basically a salvaged "unfinished work," was really impressive. The writing was real, in the sense especially that the dialogue was not cliché, but very believable. I imagine in the original script, he eventually either finds Alice, or discovers what finally happened to her. But that does not matter now. What matters is, you put a lot of good work into a project, and even though it never got to where you wanted it to be, you made something authentic and compelling from it. I have nothing negative to say. I was once VERY critical of a short film that had a 10K budget, which I thought was among the worst wastes of money and time I've ever seen. Here, with no budget, and an unfinished shoot, you made something that I was happy to watch all the way through. I salute your work, and I hope to see your names on a feature film one day! If I may quote a line from "Better Off Dead..." "Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way... turn."
Scottymatic Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment! It really means a lot to us to hear your kind words. Your assumptions are correct about the original script unfortunately, there was quite a bit that never got to see the light of day regarding Alice, the gang, their affiliation with the cabin man, and several other things, but it is what it is. Maybe one day we will do some rewrites and take another stab at it.
Third time I've watched this awesome story! I go about 6-8 months in between viewing, and the story gets better each time. Love the storyline, music, photography (which is superb, btw), and the acting is outstanding! Hollywood ain't got nothin' on you....as they say. I'd love to see a sequel, where he finds Alice, and that she didn't die. Now that would be an awesome follow-up. Thank you for this great story!! Oh......and ignore the immature, jealous little boys that make negative comments, as they obviously, have never truly loved anyone, in their sad, lonely lives. Truly loving someone means that you put the one you love hopes, dreams, and needs before your own. And that is what the main character did. Which is more then most of these immature fools would ever do for their woman. How sad. Great job.....thank you!!
For novices this is a very good movie. However, it needs a Part II. Actually its better than some multi-million dollar production. Keep on doing this type of work for it only can get better.
it is enough to portray a sad face when feeling sad, pretending crying when your not really feeling crying only makes bad acting. but over all your film is good, i enjoy watching.
Rise and Shine! Productions I think you did a great job on this film. I have been catching up on the Zombie and end of the world films and you did much better than many I've seen.
loooooove it! just read the description n stalked your channel and i am actually really exited to start the little series! hope they are as intertaining as this was. you have my sub (:
Considering the time you had to do this in and the experience, you did a damn good job! Keep it up. Definitely have the makings of grade "A" talent. You have the ability to go as far as your heart desires if you're willing to put in the work. Great job.
nicely presented in a The Book of Eli way and my respect for making of this low budget film i've done the same working on a experimental short movie so i know what its like
Six years post-apocalypse and this guy is freshly shaved and his eyeglasses are spotless. Sure... In truth, he'd probably be filthy. Showers won't be a thing anymore, and the only time you'll get clean is when you find a stream or river and go skinny dipping (which will be cold), so not very often. You also won't be doing laundry much (if at all). Actors need to be grungy.
I was wondering if the Newman looking guy was a cannibal to be so "healthy' six years into the apocalypse. Sure wouldn't be eating that mystery meat stew he offered him.@@DogBeast221
Gee whiz guys....get a sponsor and make the next one! You could get some kind of funding or something....story was great and you guys built characters that you actually got attached to. That's the key.
The camera work on this was crazy good. The shots were framed often with a hint of distraction that kept the actors as part of the scenery instead of surrounded by it of moving thru it...IDK xactly what discriptives to use. It was good tho. Well done!
Graffiti on walls check. Huge fire, a beacon to robbers check. You should be admonished for creating a post-apocalyptic film where the character isn't trudging around for days in a gas mask with a 1 hour filter. Seriously, it was a very good project.
We created a new eleven part post-apocalyptic series called "Years Late" Check out the playlist here:

Happy holidays, I love this kind of films. Great taste in entertainment, please upload more stuff which I look forward to see. Many thanks for sharing and for making my day less boring. You are generous, considerate, and thoughtful. To your health and safety always
I am an old fart... I can't believe this was done by high school seniors. Beautiful camera work. I am truely impressed.
b c Thanks for watching and understanding!
Doug Orilio too bad YOU did not come up with the entire idea, and make this movie yourself! idiot
Doug Orilio haha, wow I guess that's what I get for trying to defend a troll. I should have known better. This is why I avoid commenting, people like you that love to fight online. I can't believe I felt bad for you.
I NEVER comment, but this time I just HAD to... BRAVO & bloody well done, all of you.
We hope that y'all go onto great things in life with your work... Who cares about editing foux pas,,, overall,, EXCELLENT - Thank you for sharing :)
Guys, I think this was awesome! Better than some of the professional budget stuff I have seen. Really great plot line too! You should be super proud and I hope you've gone on to do more stuff like this!
Wow, I had no idea as I was watching it that it had been made by high school kids. You did a great job.
I think this is just brilliant - especially with the constraints you faced making it. It's held my attention far better than some movies with much bigger budgets and more "names" to their credit.
Well done! I'm enjoying the series too.
i can honnestly say one thing ...one of the best low budget movies i have ever seen in my life ...im 50 in 6 months ...so i have seen plenty ...good job!
Can you sppell beetter?
I'm 52, so I've seen more.
You know, I stumbled on this thinking it was a musical piece (don't ask), but was intrigued enough to watch it. I have to say that it's beautifully shot, and very well-edited. I understand just how difficult it is to get something of this (or any) length done with absolutely no budget, so I wanted to tell you how impressed I am with what you accomplished. Please, continue making thoughtful, evocative movies as you progress. I am now subscribing to see what you continue to do.
+Steven Bentley Thank you so much for the kind words! Stay tuned for more post apocalyptic videos in the future!
+Rise and Shine! Productions You guys should go for crowd funding and do more. Really impressed, good content and storyline made it very enjoyable to watch.
That too funny! Love to know the musical?
Have fun Life's too short 👎
I write for a living, and I'm working on several pulp/action/horror pieces for the new year. I tend to write to music (usually scores from films) so I wasn't looking specifically for a musical, but a style, of music when this came across my feed.
Best film EVER ..........Im going to watch this over and over and over ...... im a NEW fan for life !
:)
leighmossien2009 Wow, thanks!
Hi
+biju johny hiiiiiii nigga :D
Probably one of the best films on youtube that has good quality & audio 10/10!!
Forget the critics - for a first time effort, you show some amazing raw talent. Everyone starts somewhere, and this is a *great* start!
+Edward Green i'd like to see a film made by the combined efforts of the haters,trolls,and morons
+bunny fish 😂😂😂😂😂💯
NastySimmer thanks...i'm so sick of YT trolls and morons...they are now all over on music & movie vids
ik but the ent got anything better to do with there life
NastySimmer some of the same people are posting hate on the same YT vids every day,it's sad if that's your entire life
I like the atmosphere, sound design and guitar work !A lot better than other post apocalyptic short movies I've seen on youtube.
I actually enjoyed the entire thing except for the guitar. It sounded too much like someone who had just learned a few chords and wa la. Especially around the early part in the first 10 or 15 minutes was simply irritating to me, monotonously repetitive with 3-5 semi-simple chords/ notes. I almost shut it off but persevered and really enjoyed all other aspects. Good Work Guys.
2nd Timothy Chapter 3
It's true but I think it was made like that with intent.
Yea I know it was made like that with intent that is why it exists like that. I really do not mean to be so critical about it. It was really the first big score near the early part that just got me. It went on way too long and sounded like what a newbie would be doing after learning a few chords. I know because I did it like that 40 years ago. LOL
2nd Timothy Chapter 3
I know exactly what you mean and have to agree.To me it sounded like some noob living alone in the post-apocalypse ,getting bored and learning guitar.Still a good short movie compared to others on YT :)
Yes, My criticism aside, it was pretty good for a two person project.
What? This Film was made in high school?
Omg, wow. Awesome piece of art.
Greetings from Austria.
Always Underdog Thanks for watching my friend!
Walking Dead without Zombies. Rubbish. From Australia. We have kangaroos.
"Let's throw another shrimp on the barbie!"
Good job. People often dont realise the hard work it takes to create, film and post edit anything. It isnt easy especially with other commitments. I hope you guys have bright careers ahead of you.
Stumbled upon this tonight. EXCELLENT job. Most impressed. Intrigued and interested me from beginning to end. Congrats. Keep up the good work
Cinematography framing and composition balance of characters and background elements is excellent, often beautiful. I can immediately think of another director - that had this rare "artist's eye" for the pictorial aspect of a story. That person was Stanley Kubrick.
They did a brilliant job for amateurs - but let's not get carried away here.
Thunderbirds are go
You and your friends are amazing artists!! Do not give up on your pursuits! You are oozing talent!
As a fan of the genre I loved this. Props to the cinematography and the score
I read the summary. But then, after learning it was written and produced by high school students, I deliberately avoided reading the comments till after, so as not to have a biased opinion going into it. Honestly, I really enjoyed this! Great job, guys!
First let me say how amazingly brilliant that was. I believe you could submit it to the independent filmmakers awards. Such incredible acting, editing and sound. I still can't believe this was done by high school students. I was completely drawn in. I could not stop watching. The hopeful pain and anguish was palpable. Well done.
I worked as a Producer with high school film makers and as a professional for Major Studios...you all did an outstanding job..the storyline, the locations, effects..how many of you did this ?. It had the feel and flow of a Studio shoot...and quite frankly was far better then a lot that is on cable these days. I hope all of you are pursuing careers. i know a filmmaker about the same age as you that I am going to send this to. Perhaps you could all work together, you will find him and a couple associates are very good as well.. they both have things on here as well as other releases.
Hi thanks so much for watching. This was for the most part done entirely by two people. Myself doing the cinematography and camerawork, editing, writing and directing and Mark helping with writing, as well as doing lighting, the soundtrack, and of course acting.
Hi, it's Dec 2018, I just found your movie, and I enjoyed it! I saw you went on and made more short films, good for you. I read some of the comments, what a bunch of jealous haters putting this and that down, what have they made? Nothing!
But you did a great job at your first film, and I can't wait to watch your other films.
I hit the subscribe button, good luck on any future endeavors you might have. 👏🏼😺👀👂
Michele Conley jealous people are very sad i used to get jealous when i was younger but whats the point life to short and why make yourself miserable being JEALOUS. andy England 🇬🇧🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅😀
@@andrewdaley3081 Ahhh that was nice! I'm glad you grew up and saw that being jealous didn't get you anything.
I always say Ask God for what you want, if you don't he won't know what to give you 🚫🤓🤞
This is was too good. I cried in the end, that was a bit brutal, I think the blood and brutality too the Walking Dead, if the was a movie, this would sell. The acting was a bit rough though, but once I got to know the characters, it came together almost perfectly.
SorryRooster 21 if you thought the acting was rough here then you better
Stay from "gangsters, guns and zombies " omg 😑
Well that made zero sense what so ever
SorryRooster 21
SorryRooster 21
SorryRooster 21
Holy Crap!! Much better than anything i did in highschool!!! Great acting from Timothy "smoking guy". Looking forward to watching your other films!
Thank you for letting us enjoy your film, it was great. Thank you for being your amazing selves everyone, peace and much love sent from Ontario, Canada.
My initial reaction was what a stupid movie THEN I read your comments!!! For a high school group of kids on zero budget with a home style personal camera and probably home editing software, this is REMARKABLY well done - from the editing which is quite interesting - I realize you originally intended the factory scene to be the end or so it seems -- but moving parts around you've come up with a movie open to interpretation. Great camera work, fine acting -- just an all around great first job. I sincerely hope that those involved have moved on to careers in the film industry. If not, you all have missed your calling!!
+deborah wood moved on? since 2014? You have some pretty high expectations.
"careers in the film industry" some pretty low expectations. with the democratizing nature of the internet hopefully we will redefine fame through independent production and free dissemination. Fuck the corporatocracy and the pedophilic handlers of Hollywood
dixie dragon
nothingontv zz
I agree. I had the same thought. There's real potential here.
I'll tell you right now I watch a lot of these sci-fi shorts and that one was absolutely the best that I have seen! Freaking awesome job guys!! You left me on the edge of my seat with that ending! You've got to make another one that shows him getting to his girl! Lol I'm serious this is driving me crazy! LOL keep it up guys you are doing just awesome work.
Great film as a first project!!! And an AMAZING film considering it was a salvage job to piece it together. Well done!
Wow I'm impressed! For highschool's seniors I think you did an awesome job making this movie.
This a brilliant movie. Thoroughly intriguing just absorb your every thought till the end. This is a moving leaving you asking for MORE !!!!!! Well done
Damn you! I want to see if he gets her back!
Good short film. Enjoyed it.
1st rule in a apocalyptic time ....... never eveeeer trust a chubby guy . No food and he still manage to be in that weight?? Hmm just run for your life
hehehe what about chubby hillbilly girls in that situation
Well... yeah. Where did you THINK all those skinny clothes in the chest came from? Long pig- it's what's for dinner in the post apocalypse!
That's what the Russians where saying in WW2 Stalingrad
Adnelg Onainitsuj
Adnelg Onainitsuj if you've seen The Road you will know why he has so many cloths
I like the ending anyway fellas, he'd put up with six years of hope, staying true to himself and Alice. Finally, his only hope was to become like the other survivors. He loves Alice. She is with them and he knows now how he must be to get her back. There is still hope. Sad as it is now. Great little film. Applause!!!!
LOVE the simplistic guitar
music/riffs !! Awesome 👏!!
Love this short, probably one of the best I've seen, and keep coming back to it. Great score and thanks for the "spoilers", thanks for salvaging it. Sometimes there are no answers so Daniel not finding his girlfriend works. Had Daniel found Alice it might seem formulaic.
I've been binge watching and I'm totally impressed, and I'm a fussy bugger lol!
The fight scenes were well coreographed, directed and edited, worthy of a pro, the storyline we had was a bit tropey but for a first time by highschoolers not bad.
The SFX for no budget also very good, If you ever get to reshoot, after a nuke you should never sleep on the ground, your inhaling fallout, anyone looking at blast light is pretty much dead already and you pull water for drinking from fast moving water not still, theres all sorts of nastys in still water.
Very well done. This is was the first youtube movie I streamed over roku and watched on the big screen. It is scary to imagine SHTF will be like this and probably even worse.
Shit Hits The Fan SHTF or Without Rule of Law WROL.
Goldincome4utv
If you want to see a good movie, check out Bushwick, starring Dave Bautista and Brittany Snow. You're welcome lol.
April Krabe thank you!
Watching this at 4 AM instead of sleeping or writing. Great work.
Look forward to seeing this guy's movies in the future!!! My whole family loved this movie. I found it bored this weekend wanting to watch all the end of 🌎 movies. This was better than some of the high budget movies done. For a high school kid.....this was amazing. Remember this guy's name. I see him making a huge hit.
Tabitha Yarbrough thanks so much for watching !!
I'll be back to finish this, as I was just craving dialogue, I got it, then t was gone in a flash. Loved what I saw, just need a little brain cell adjustment before I can catch on. Keep up the good work.
Did you finish it?
Fantestical!!! Pro job guys! Very rarely do I make it to the credits. Please keep at it. At least as good as any TV movie and more.
amazing u guys did this with zero budget and so young,really you have Awsome futures ahead of
you, let the haters hate...good luck I'll keep my eyes peeled for you guys
Raven Black thanks so much for watching! if you're interested, we have an 11 part post apocalyptic series up on our channel as well ☺
Rise and Shine! Productions I for one will be checking out every single movie production! I just found you years later and hope you’re making films, you have talent! Can you direct me to, if you have more?
I agree
Great little film. Timothy Chivalette was especially excellent. Solid performance from the main actor too. Loved the post rock music throughout. Top work!!
The chubby guy is weird and perfect for this role. His voice is too much. This film is truly a great find. Don't stop keep evolving this is truly a great accomplishment on a no budget scale. 👏👏👏👏👏🏼🤘
Nice ass in those jeans. Lol
So he isn't a Stick. Person
Well done lads, really enjoyed watching your short film
Great Job! I honestly enjoyed this film. But however the ending left me wanting more.....you left us hanging. lol
Yes sir!
Wow Polim nya kurang seram🙏
What???? A high school kid made this? Wow. That kid is going somewhere in the film industry, that's for sure.
Kristen Gibson doubt it.
@@Dave-id6sj Oh so true
It's all who you know in the industry.
This is a very good movie, you should see that this body of work is a stepping stone to greater things to come; congratulations on a job well done!
I think this is a great movie. I really enjoyed watching it, and I thought the acting was great. Music fit the scenes and was excellent too.
Make more movies! I've seen major big budget movies here on RUclips where the story and the actors (even famous ones) sucked, and I gave them bad reviews. I can't believe this was made by high school guys. You are really good actors. Perfect timing, etc. I am thrilled to have found your movie and to know that a great movie can be made with a low budget.
loved this movie, and did I see that it was done as a highschool senior project? if so, even more impressive!
Dear Rise and Shine Productions,
I found the feature entertaining and very watchable. The only continuity inconsistencies seemed to be the variable bandage. But, as you explained the difficulties and interruptions in production, that's understandable. I would like to compliment the many aspects of your effort which I found worthwhile. The cinematography was solid, professional, and clearly shot by someone with a good eye. The acting was good, especially the timing on the dialogue. It's so easy to rush through a scene, but this paced quite well. The score, limited as it was in instrumentation, fit the piece well, was cleanly performed, and added much to the flavor of it. The editing, especially since it was basically a salvaged "unfinished work," was really impressive. The writing was real, in the sense especially that the dialogue was not cliché, but very believable. I imagine in the original script, he eventually either finds Alice, or discovers what finally happened to her. But that does not matter now. What matters is, you put a lot of good work into a project, and even though it never got to where you wanted it to be, you made something authentic and compelling from it. I have nothing negative to say. I was once VERY critical of a short film that had a 10K budget, which I thought was among the worst wastes of money and time I've ever seen. Here, with no budget, and an unfinished shoot, you made something that I was happy to watch all the way through. I salute your work, and I hope to see your names on a feature film one day! If I may quote a line from "Better Off Dead..." "Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way... turn."
Scottymatic Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment! It really means a lot to us to hear your kind words. Your assumptions are correct about the original script unfortunately, there was quite a bit that never got to see the light of day regarding Alice, the gang, their affiliation with the cabin man, and several other things, but it is what it is. Maybe one day we will do some rewrites and take another stab at it.
I know. Hey, it's one story. If you have that one in you, then you have more :)
the fat guy reminds me of newman from seinfeld. "hello jerry" lol
yasss
+Damen Kemper lmao.. I thought the exact same thing... love it
+steve b "hello jerry"
hello.... newman
+steve b lol!!
This was great ! Cant wait to watch the rest . Both actors were incredible.!
Third time I've watched this awesome story! I go about 6-8 months in between viewing, and the story gets better each time.
Love the storyline, music, photography (which is superb, btw), and the acting is outstanding!
Hollywood ain't got nothin' on you....as they say.
I'd love to see a sequel, where he finds Alice, and that she didn't die. Now that would be an awesome follow-up.
Thank you for this great story!!
Oh......and ignore the immature, jealous little boys that make negative comments, as they obviously, have never truly loved anyone, in their sad, lonely lives.
Truly loving someone means that you put the one you love hopes, dreams, and needs before your own. And that is what the main character did. Which is more then most of these immature fools would ever do for their woman. How sad.
Great job.....thank you!!
I really was getting into this. You guys should finish it or least do a reshoot.
For novices this is a very good movie. However, it needs a Part II. Actually its better than some multi-million dollar production. Keep on doing this type of work for it only can get better.
ElusvOptmst1 yes! The lack of propaganda is refreshing.
I’m wondering what part was good ? Couldn’t find that part...
Great job guys. I really enjoyed it. Look forward to seeing the series you mentioned. Keep at it. You guys are doing good
At first I thought that the fat guy was a cannibal and was gonna eat him.
it is enough to portray a sad face when feeling sad, pretending crying when your not really feeling crying only makes bad acting. but over all your film is good, i enjoy watching.
you all did a great job at this
no budget
on the shelf for some time
pieced it together
and it rocks
good work you all
two thumbs up
For a movie done by high school students with no budget, quite good ! Not worse than some movies that had budget and professional directors.
joe cardio Sorry I mistakenly removed your comment, but thanks for watching and for the encouragement!
Rise and Shine! Productions I think you did a great job on this film. I have been catching up on the Zombie and end of the world films and you did much better than many I've seen.
Rise and Shine! Productions For a high school job w/ no budget, nicely done...and nice camera work!
Deborah Walton true dat
+Iggy Dickson While watching this, I thought it was made by a college student, but to be in high school he did pretty good.
Still liking this one
loooooove it! just read the description n stalked your channel and i am actually really exited to start the little series! hope they are as intertaining as this was. you have my sub (:
Considering the time you had to do this in and the experience, you did a damn good job! Keep it up. Definitely have the makings of grade "A" talent. You have the ability to go as far as your heart desires if you're willing to put in the work. Great job.
i watched this a long time ago but diddnt realise where it had come from,WOW its great you did yourselves proud!!
nicely presented in a The Book of Eli way and my respect for making of this low budget film i've done the same working on a experimental short movie so i know what its like
Six years post-apocalypse and this guy is freshly shaved and his eyeglasses are spotless. Sure... In truth, he'd probably be filthy. Showers won't be a thing anymore, and the only time you'll get clean is when you find a stream or river and go skinny dipping (which will be cold), so not very often. You also won't be doing laundry much (if at all). Actors need to be grungy.
Could not have said it better myself, love his nice fingernails just so glossy white...LOL
And being morbidly obese after six years post apocalypse would be challenging.
I was wondering if the Newman looking guy was a cannibal to be so "healthy' six years into the apocalypse. Sure wouldn't be eating that mystery meat stew he offered him.@@DogBeast221
Then their wouldn't be any hot chicks
Gee whiz guys....get a sponsor and make the next one! You could get some kind of funding or something....story was great and you guys built characters that you actually got attached to. That's the key.
You did an absolutely AWESOME! job on this short... Excellent work! Waiting for #2......
Way more than I was expecting, great movie guys, you did an awesome job. Checking out " Years Late " next.
The camera work on this was crazy good. The shots were framed often with a hint of distraction that kept the actors as part of the scenery instead of surrounded by it of moving thru it...IDK xactly what discriptives to use. It was good tho. Well done!
I agree--the film has great cinematography. Action, direction are great, too.
O.m.g. its Newman from Seinfeld!! 🤣👌😁
On a serious note, great short film!!
May I suggest next time "no fresh haircuts"
Graffiti on walls check. Huge fire, a beacon to robbers check. You should be admonished for creating a post-apocalyptic film where the character isn't trudging around for days in a gas mask with a 1 hour filter. Seriously, it was a very good project.
