- A park ranger is fired from his dream job.
WHAT WILDERNESS PERMITS is used with permission from Joel Marsh. Learn more at themfic.com.
Russ McCoy is a park ranger who is passionately dedicated to his job. He loves the peace and serenity of nature; he is deeply familiar with all the creatures he encounters on his regular rounds, including a bear who has eaten a human.
But before he can do anything about the human-eating bear, Russ is unceremoniously fired from his job, due to the lack of funding for the national parks and the apathy and cluelessness of the park visitors. Distraught and devastated, Russ takes his ire out on a city-slicker couple, Emma and Paul, who are visiting the park for some hiking and camping, and represents all that has gone wrong with society.
Directed by Joel Marsh from a script written by Mike Leavitt, this acerbic dark comedy short is ostensibly one man's revenge upon a world that refuses to respect the only thing he is passionate about. Russ is dedicated to his job, fueled by a deep love of nature and all its wild creatures, and the storytelling finds a witty, even sweet humor on just how immersed he is in his work.
But that fervor has a dark side when it's thwarted by forces out of Russ's control. Money is an issue, but it's also people's growing carelessness about the environment -- where they think of nature only for its Instagram potential, not as something to care for and nurture. The film has some fun with the casually oblivious cluelessness of the couple and charts Russ's growing descent into madness, but it never quite edges into the bite of satire. Instead, the writing and direction manage a fine tonal balance between a creeping sense of horror as Russ loses it, a sincere social commentary on nature and knowing humor at the foibles of humans, with their idiosyncrasies and self-absorption. The film's visuals, too, capture the bucolic beauty of nature, which makes for a striking contrast to the nutty humans roaming within it.
As excellent as the writing and creative direction is, it's the performances that truly make the film's balance of theme and tone work. Actors Claire Glassford and Brendan Sargent play the couple whose cluelessness emerges not from any personal malevolence or lack of intelligence, but from their distraction. But the foundation of the film is actor Galen Howard, who plays Russ with terrific distinction and presence. Russ is an eccentric and outsider, and while Howard revels in Russ's quirky flourishes and the peculiarities of his demeanor, he always maintains a line to Russ's emotional truth. Russ genuinely loves nature for its beauty and majesty, but also because he can be himself in it, away from the judgments of people like Paul and Emma. When that refuge is taken from him, Russ goes into his own heart of darkness, even as Paul and Emma begin to expand their appreciation of nature.
Those dueling arcs in WHAT WILDERNESS PERMITS converge in ways both unpredictable and sincere as the film proceeds, and gives it an unusual and well-earned emotional resonance, as both the couple and Russ find common ground and compassion. But, because it's also a witty dark comedy, there's also a hilarious irony at its conclusion, where the power of nature truly asserts itself. Nature, it seems, will be just fine, no matter the nature of the humans trampling and traipsing within it.

I wish there was a mini-series like this with Russ, I would love to watch it.
True story of the Office spin-off where Dwight Schrute becomes a park ranger. Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica
It's like a cross ❌ between Disney meets Alfred Hitchcock 🗝️
I can't tell if this is either Hilariously Terrifying or Terrifyingly Hilarious... and that's scary.
Another great hit from you guys, I'm loving catching up on all these little by little!
This movie needs the song,
"Teddy Bears Picnic" by Henry Hall
playing in the background...
"If you go out into the woods today you're in for a big surprise,
if you go out in the woods today you better go in disguise, for every teddy bear that ever there was is gathered there for certain because, today's the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic. ..."
Reminds me of the "open season" movie😄 That song still freaks me out a bit, but kinda nostalgic in a way too
When he spoke to the couple about seeing cubs, it was horrifying to think how painful and long it takes to die being eaten alive slowly, one bite/rip at a time is ...
Yikes. Not sure I’d want to know what YOUR Thanksgiving dinner conversations are like….
@@ChristopherNegretti
I thought of this from watching Timothy Treadwell's film called Grizzly Man. It was his remarkable documentary examining a tribe of wild grizzly bears on an Alaskan reserve. He WAS a devoted conservationist whose video captured the grim realities of a carnivore.
@@evek1057 Was that the Werner Hertzog directed documentary? That was a good watch yet also sad.
@@MrRicehard
Sadly, yes. It was a difficult watch. I could never be able to listen to the terror in the audio left behind to hear the horror of his final screams ...
@@evek1057 I agree. I think the doco was very respectful towards a man who cared so very much for nature.
really good movie, thanks omleto for the insight on nature and the bears
If only it was a movie
You mean human nature...
Galen Howard did an Awesome job in this, He went from Comedian to Psychopath killer, to caring friend.
He married a tree. He.....married.....a........TREE!!!!
I literally had to check one of Smosh's videos...yepp, the creepy guy is now a ranger 🤣🔥🔥
its that guy 😂
"Cushy job with Patagonia..." Funny 😁
I really felt for Russ. I love my beach, but it is constantly being trashed by tourists and by trash washed in from the ocean. The morning after an evening rainstorm is the worst...
Just before the carnage; "But Yogi, we eat peoples picnic food and Ranger Smith will be real mad at us"! "Don't worry Booboo! You gotta spice things up once in awhile. Girl for you and the big one for me".
Is it really even a real park ranger without yogi bear and booboos
A wonderful Monty Python punch line!!
Brilliant little video, kept the interest right the way thru
OMG! That ending was great🤣🐾☠
I was waiting for his screams to join the singing
@@jordyhelwig7657 Now that would've been a solid comic touch. Loved this film🙂
Is it a wonderful how the amazing young couple was frolicking in nature and skipping to My Lou...
To the creator of this shortie! Hats Off! First I laughed, then I was confused, AND THEN...I saw it coming!!! Any REGRETS Russ?? Heeeheee
Way to go Ross....I mean Russ!
Great movie! Remember Deliverance from the 1970's? Only this one made some good points about caring for nature.
Great story. Loved this. I think there is a little bit of Ross in all of us. err, I meant Russ.
I like rus reminds me of me not the poo bit the talking to animals and caring
HOORAY they got eaten they were REALLY AWFUL LOL! especially at the end!
I want to camp in that park , I will follow all the rules , loved the park, story, actors , everything.
I would love for this to be mini series to
🤣🤣🤣🤣
At the end, I was wondering if Russ was carrying that poo back with him, and then I heard the bear!!🤣🤣
🤣🤣Damn!🤣🤣
Imagine being so at one with nature that you transport poop with your bare hands 🤣.
Best short horror/comedy I've seen
Work of fiction aside, are numbers to North American National Parks actually dwindling?
I'd have thought that people were becoming more environmentally conscious, so would take a greater interest in nature.
Not the number of National Parks, since their status is declared federally and can’t really be revoked. But funding for parks (and therefore their quality of preservation) has plummeted with a few exceptions to prove the rule. People may be more interested in environmentalism, but they also hate paying taxes, especially when taxes just go to the military or one of any other dozens of underfunded programs instead of environmental protections.
@@Grimner5358 Thank you for your reply - I've made a mistake while typing.
I meant to say, "are the numbers of visitors to National Parks dwindling?"
Nevertheless, your response also answers that question.
Naïvely I thought that National Parks would be relatively immune from anti government/taxation sentiment.
I traveled the country and was horrified by the state of the parks: deep ruts from trucks raging around, shattered toilets, bowling pins and other things used as target practice. The piles of shells. So many areas were closed to give the space a rest from humans, but so many other areas were leased out to "concessions" companies who charged for you to stay on public land. It was a distressing undercurrent to the natural beauty of the areas I visited.
Love it, could make a whole comedy movie with a deeper meaning out of it ! So much nonsens on RUclips, why are people not watching more of this stuff .
They drive a Prius 🤣
😓 Poor Russ.

It probably sucks to be eaten by a bear.

To look more vulnerable.

Finish the penguin-seal joke 😭😫
A vacationing penguin is driving his through Arizona when he notices that the oil pressure light is on. He gets out to look and sees oil dripping out of the motor. He drives to the nearest town and stops at the first gas station.
After dropping the car off, the penguin goes for a walk around town. He sees an ice-cream shop and, being a penguin in Arizona, decides that something cold would really hit the spot. He gets a big dish of vanilla ice cream and sits down to eat. He makes a real mess and gets it all over his beak. After finishing his ice cream, he goes back to the gas station and asks the mechanic if he's found the problem. The mechanic looks up and says "It looks like you blew a seal."
"No no," the penguin gasps,"it's just ice cream."
Tbh, I wonder what happened to the ranger but first I feel bad for him by losing his job :( (really) I I also wanna know if the ranger was bitten to death or not cause if he is, welllll let's say they all died and I don't know what he was thinking
maybe he regretted his desicion on killing the people by accident. But he was going to *K I L L* them by placing a poop in there
I hope you guys have a nice day and I hope you'll have a nice day too Omoleto!
And he decided to be a caring friend :)
I liked it.
Nice story, but it's a little confusing to hear two different measurements of length (at least 100ft away; 15m in every direction) in under a minute.
Anyway, keep up the good work!
From an outside perspective the USA is beginning to embrace the metric system, (though it's been used in the scientific community for decades, and I believe it's used in the US military) which should make it less confusing over the coming years.
I grew up while the UK was moving away from the Imperial* system so I can switch between the two systems, which an increasing number of Americans will be able to do in future.
*Bearing in mind that it's the Customary system in the USA.
@@ianmacfarlane1241 well, I guess that's because a few airplanes as well as spacecrafts crashed because of the wrong units of measurements relating to fuel and length.
I'm not really complaining about the minor mistake they made tbh, but as a European who has to convert feet to meter on a daily basis due to my profession, I've got a little confused about both units being used in such a short period of time.
@@notyourdamnbusiness5974 Like yourself I'm aware of the historical problems with the use of both systems on certain projects, but I believe that the metric system is now standard in many industries, (in the USA).
Conversion shouldn't be a problem, (unless you spend a lot of time doing it) as there are some excellent apps - I use ConvertPad when I need to be more accurate - it's incredibly easy and covers every conceivable unit.
As for the video...
... I've no idea.
It might be a mistake on the part of the writer(s) but I don't think it is.
Maybe it's a comment on confusing information given from conflicting sources, but I might be clutching at straws.
Emma shat the woods
sad
Omg 🤣 🤣😅💯
wilderness, is uncertanty, danger, danger is the threat of death, yes i do suffer from paranoia. : D how did you guess/
Superb plot and twist. I loved it!!!
Needed more bloodshed, more gonzo. I really needed those campers to get shredded by the wildlife. Rather a letdown ending.
👏🏼😊
🤣👍🏻👍🏻
Pretty good but maybe could have gone farther over the edge of satire. 👍👍👍👍
He has women's face features!👀
