  • SKYWATCH is a sci-fi proof of concept written & directed by Colin Levy. Six years in the making, funded via Kickstarter, and crafted by volunteering artists across the world.
    Starring young up-and-comers Uriah Shelton (13 REASONS WHY, LOOKING FOR ALASKA) and Zach Callison (STEVEN UNIVERSE, THE GOLDBERGS), the short also features a cameo by Jude Law.
    When two outcast teens hack into a ubiquitous drone delivery system to pull a prank on their neighbor, they accidentally crash-land a dangerous prototype - and find themselves entangled in a life-and-death conspiracy.

      Jude Law's character works as a thumbnail, especially if you've got him looking menacing - he represents the enemy in the short film. But the kid is the one who carries it, and he does it well.

      It is interestingly told. The audience is dropped in the middle of the action and still there is so much exposition snuck in there, as if this is part of a huge world which the characters really inhabit. This is the opposite of current VFX cinema, were everything gets spelled out and were the universe ends exactly where the frame ends.

    I think there is potential for this to be a TV show rather than movie. There was some ideas in here that could certainly be expanded. Who runs NexPort, and what are they planning? Who are the rebels in the van? They tried to condense everything into 10 minutes, but everything we see here could be made into a pilot episode by expanding on the characters backstories over 45 minutes. Maybe Netflix should contact the filmmakers.

    Without that, the great vfx would be boring and without the vfx, the story wouldn't be so relevant. This was fun. Nicely done.
    What happened to the friend? Who is the company man? What's his story? Who designed the spinning emp? Why didnt she say "come with us if you want to live?"
    What does mom do when she realizes the guys are gone? How long does that take? Sounds like it could be a good arc. If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Is Tom Holland too old or expensive to play the lead? How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

If they wouldn't have turned on the setting would the drones still have attacked them for messing with their shit? Or did they turn on a program that turned the drones aggressive to people who messed with them? How has this happened before if they just turned on the setting? Theres obviously an entire underground group devoted to fighting delivery drones gone bad. So did everyone in that group hack the drones, turn on that setting and then get attacked first? That just doesn't make sense maybe im missing something. Of course it all needs more context I guess but that just seems convoluted. Like okay you have to hack into this delivery drone service, then turn on a bad setting and then if youve done something bad the drones attack you or they attack you for turning on...the setting?

      Not a TV series. Those always turn into soap operas.

      Alexa "always" remembers the 30 seconds of speech before you make a request to it, because you might have said crucial information before you said "Alexa" ... ask the men who were arrested for having "discussed their terrorist plans while cooking" - yea... (ROF when police yelled "ON THE FLOOR, NOW !!!)

    As someone who listens to filmmaking podcasts everyday this ticks all the boxes of what they they talk about when it comes to proof of concept shorts. You have a great concept, it’s produced well, full of wow factor, well acted, fantastical theme, you can see where it will jump off to, has a named star (and a big one at that) already has great marketing in place etc etc. If this doesn’t get you ‘in rooms’ then I don’t know what will. Well done to all involved.
