HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 апр 2024
- 2nd place winner at the 2013 Sci-Fi London 48 Hour Film Challenge. Written, shot, edited and scored in less than 48 hours.The filmmakers were given a random title ("FALLING APART"), a random line of dialogue ("Fame is fleeting, baby, but legends live forever") and a random prop/action (A mug of steaming liquid - a character sniffs the hot liquid and pours it away), and then had 48 hours to write a script with those elements, shoot it, edit it, grade it, score it, sound design it, export it and deliver it in person at the London BFI. A stunning result that DUST is honored to present here.
"Falling Apart" by TJ Hundtofte & Crawford Anderson-Dillon

Proving once again that you don't need a big budget when the story is well written and well acted.
Very good job!
Loved it.
Explanation: In Britain it is rarely sunny. When it is Gingers have to retreat to the nearest bunker or put on a hazmat suit. Failure to take proper precautions sends them mad.
Its Bradley from EastEnders. Good to see him doing his decent acting still. Excellent short this 👏
I loved the simplicity of the story line, we all kinda saw it coming but were like “naw, they wouldn’t”.
Well, they would.
Nah that was seriously insane. The twist is movie like. This goes to show. 5 min. Vs the hour long movies we get. We 100% do not need Hollywood anymore. We need this. Imagine if they have the budget Hollywood does. And continues this as a movie. I would watch the whole thing twice
It's the difference between novel and short story. They work differently. For example, the short story, as this short, doesn't need to explain where the infection came from, you just need to be aware there's an infection and how it works for the story to work. In a movie, as in a novel, you'll need a baseline before, or some sort of flashback to explain things out.
@@gedece .. I generally agree with you. That's usually the case but not always. Sometimes they leave things unexplained and it's still an effective narrative. Children of Men didn't really spell out a cause for the worldwide infertility pandemic yet was still very compelling. I'm sure there's other examples but none come right to mind at the moment.
@@blujay9191Children of Men was meant to be ambiguous as far as the science was concerned. It was a movie about human interactions in the now and not about what got them to that point. Also, the movie had a book that came out a decade and a half before the movie and had been thoroughly discussed, even though the movie made some major changes, it stayed true to the underlying theme.
Fans of the book knew what to expect, while the general public went in and saw a well-crafted and well-acted story being played out even though the focus of the film is different from the book's.
@@mrblaque .. Thanks for making the effort to reply. I read the book too and enjoyed it. Maybe I wasn't clear but I liked the fact that the movie makers didn't feel compelled to make up a back story explanation. I'm thinking that if the movie was made now the temptation to explain the cause of the problem by preaching or otherwise raising awareness about something or another would be almost irresistible.
It is sad what isolation can do the brain,. Beautiful and simple storyline.
I thought it was very good 😊 I would like to see how they got to that bunker. Well done to all involved.
I'm strangely reassured to see that even in an apocalypse type situation, women still take the time to apply lipstick.
Absolutely brilliant. Needs to be part of a full length movie or series. Awesome.
Heartbreaking
Come on the Cannes film festival...... Recognise... 😁🤟🤜🇬🇧
Excellent. Visceral, thoughtful. Loved it.
I don’t get it… but I’m cool with that
The man is a scientist; his girlfriend presumably a researcher.
He writes a peer reviewed article and she notes he is famous. He said reviews come and go; legends are forever.
A pandemic hit the world. It's their job to find a cure. While searching/collecting for specimens earlier that night, he cut his suit and arm. He became infected.
He knew that if she discovered he was infected, he'd have to be isolated from her and he might very well die. Paranoia of such starting to seep in. He cut her to save her from his infection and being separated from her.
Later that night, he resumed searching for specimens, wearing the same hazmat suit he never took off. Presumably to get specimens for a cure. He imagined his girlfriend not wearing a hazmat suit, collecting a specimen he failed to get.
He imagined her examining the nonexistent specimen, telling him it is infected. The pandemic has run its course; everything has perished with him soon to follow.
In the early hours of the next morning, he awakes from a nonexistent disturbance as the bunker's power fails. He sees himself in his hazmat suit staring back at him; he's in the abyss of his mind.
He comes back to the bunker, realizing the fragments of his memory, discerning truth from hallucinations. Knowing what he'd done and what awaits his fate, I'm surprised he dropped the blade in shock instead of finishing himself.

Hey this is brutal, at the end the short made me zone out and dissociate for some minutes. A fantastic piece of art. Thank you, for everything.
They should do one of brutal company
This came out great! Fantastic work here (:
Wow, that was awesome.

4:54 what is this weird effect? a stitching of two shots?
✌
Didn't understand anything sorry! Anyone care to explain?
Me too
If I understood right, most of what we saw were his hallucinations which were a symptom of stage 2 of whatever it was.

@@blujay9191*Stage 1: Fever. Disorientation. Hallucinations. Memory Loss. Fear. Paranoia.
*Stage 2. Dehydration. Aggression. Blisters on hands and feet. Violent psychosis. Epileptic episodes.
*Stage 3. Death.
He made the coffee and imagined his girlfriend pouring it out, knowing it'll accelerate him to Stage 2.
The man was infected when he cut his suit and arm to get the specimen. He cut her to keep from her getting infected and losing her. As the bunker fails, his mind remembers what had happened and what he has to do before Stages 2 and 3.
😢😢😢
I am at stage two and I don’t have long.
Happy talking, talking happy talk

More gloom and doom… 👍👍👍👍🌟⭐️

Hello early people
Well that was sad.
This were like a mix of 28 days later and 12 monkeys army. Did this disease effected all living?
Bugs and maggots too. Nothing will be left alive
@@delanorrosey4730 Thanks
@@delanorrosey4730 The end of the world as we know it.
@@reinereine1896 Yep. He knew that after he was infected; her infection would be inevitable. I'm surprised he dropped the blade rather than finish himself, knowing what comes next.
damn German subtitles please ❗️❗️❗️
