@@jadasparkles9yearsago580 I get what they r saying but I don't quite agree either. Although one think I gotta say is, like u said, half black is still black, buttt it's also still white.

Judging from the triangle symbol thing hanging from the black guy's pant from the store,he might actually be a white guy wearing or buying the skins of a black man. He didnt even take her seriously when she told him about the letter thing,i mean a friend is someone who will freak out if you did or they play along just so you feel at ease.
@@ladyraven2256 yes.come to think of it a cult where a black man is involved in harvesting of black skin its very unlikely so one gets the idea that he might actually be white man under a black skin.
I think she was in on the whole thing unfortunately. She either hung up on Robyn, or the line got disconnected, but that operator didn't call her back like a real operator would've. (P.S. the operator asked if it's possible her stalker was inside the house, how would the operator have known that?)
@Mango Roxx Thank you, I didn't have the energy to type out that actor is actually universal...I started with actress since the guy is also very attractive, just wouldn't call him pretty, lol.. Ah, you can't win in the internet minefield!
@james Deer The word actor refers to a person who acts regardless of gender, while actress refers specifically to a female person who acts; therefore a female can be referred to by either term. The Oxford English Dictionary states that originally "actor" was used for both sexes. From the Oxford dictionary..don't be a jerk and tell people to go to school when a fast and easy google search will prove you wrong...
@james Deer LOL..Awww..aren't you so cute and unable to Google..and so very sure of yourself that you will assume I feel like an inferior woman HAHAHAHA, sad, sad, sad little person who doesn't know how to look easy stuff up and STFU when they are wrong (ohhhh but good call on saying about MY possible issues with gender labels!! Nope, just correcting you on your stunning ignorance..nothing to do with gender at all :-) ) Again...quick google search to highlight your ignorance, silly one... Gender-neutral language or gender-inclusive language is language that avoids bias towards a particular sex or social gender. In English, this includes use of nouns that are not gender-specific to refer to roles or professions, as well as avoidance of the pronouns he, him and his to refer to people of unknown or indeterminate gender.[1] For example, the words policeman[2][3] and stewardess[4][5] are gender-specific job titles; the corresponding gender-neutral terms are police officer[6][7] and flight attendant.[8][9] Other gender-specific terms, such as actor and actress, may be replaced by the originally male term; for example, actor used regardless of gender.[10][11][12] Some terms, such as chairman,[13][14] that contain the component -man but have traditionally been used to refer to persons regardless of sex are now seen by some as gender-specific.[15] When the gender of the person referred to is unknown or indeterminate, the third-person pronoun he may be avoided by using gender-neutral alternatives. As per Wikipedia..all those number thingies are sites you can source if you can figure out how...you use the search term "Gender-neutral language" within the linguistics section. So, to break it down to your itty-bitty brain...actor is used for BOTH sexes..only the title actress is sex specific for women and is used less in mainstream media.
it’s like she didn’t want people to know she went missing. her: *moves to remote city, lives alone, doesn’t know many people, quits job, only friend we know of isn’t worried about her, then goes out side after her mom telling her to lock the doors* wow she’s smart...
@Globug You see thething about is she had no idea the enemy was inside her home and she even went outside before she called 911 so she basically just went outside to take the call and I know you commented this a month ago but you commented on the original comment about 11 months after it was posted. Edit: also after she was given the information that they could be inside her house she proceeds to go back into the house.
@@SeeMeRollingno one said its her fault, they just pointed out that she didnt make many smart decisions and could've done a lot more to help her in the situation
The lead woman is great! As a historian, as soon as I read the opening statement I knew this is based on the medical experiments on prison inmates at Holmesburg Prison in Philadelphia from 1952 -1974 by dermatologist Albert Kligman. Read the book: Acres of Skin.
Yes! Holmesburg was closed to where I lived in NE Philly. That place was a literal hell hole. Even after they closed the experiment wings down and still used it as an active prison up until the riots in the 90’s my FIL was a prison guard there when the riots broke out
For those wondering what this short was all about the creator Ciara Boniface (19 yrs) won a contest by Disney where she received $100,000 and a car. She plans to make Skintight a full feature film with the winnings . Also she wanted the short to be open ended to spark conversation. I can't wait to see what this story is about in full! Great job Ciara you has me waiting!!
@@chaeratonic People protest black lives matters not because they think black lives don't matter or they should be killed. Its because Black Lives Matters is a racist , violent organization itself.
I think you are the only one who absolutely put everything in it's proper perspective, '' The chains that bind are only in your mind''. Correct you are.
Great story! Lovely young black female with no life goals and no immediate plans. This leaves her open to get hooked by "the chain". She receives multiple warnings which she tosses in a drawer. As soon as she puts forward the smallest amount of effort, the chains start to fall off. Heed the lesson people.
Sayani Dutta true... but there could have still been an intruder. Just like how the girl in the latter part of the movie was about to make food... sees the triangle symbol and then there’s a letter IN HER HOME to her.
Black ppl are kidnapped for the melanin in our skin. It’s sold on the black market. This is why there was a shot of the poster that said “The Power of Melanin”. Kinda like a Get Out offshoot where white ppl are wearing our skin for the benefits (no skin cancer, slow to age, etc)
I need this to be a full length film. Now my mind is spinning with curiosity. I want ALL the details... you know background info, character development. I am SO ready to see the protagonist go HAM on that "doctor" now that the chain broke. I'm so hear for this Alter!
Yay! Finally, more of my favorite horror subgenre: Daytime Horror! This short once again proves that you don't need darkness for an effective horror experience.

It's pretty weird that some many people are commenting on her looks.. When that's the same reason they wanted her melanin in her skin... Hints "skintight"
Kaitlyn Karma This is what I love about these films. Everyone has a different take on it. And everyone notices something different about it. When she broke the chains at the very end, that’s when I realized that this film was( to me) about literally breaking the chains of racism... and making a pretty direct reference to the southern attitude at the time of the civil war. “ you people need to get it together “ . Yeah , and that guy in the beginning was definitely not a black man. At least not in the story. Or he was recruiting other darker skinned people? Anyway, another great one . 👏🏼 👏🏼
Guy may represent black people who are constantly shitting on other black people to gain the favor of white people. So one Like Candice Owens, who made her career by being a black person who says racism isn’t real, and often supports political ideology that actively hurts marginalized people.

This hurt my heart bc this has absolutely more truth than fiction. Black women, men, and children are coming up missing at an alarming rate. Nothing can be done.
It's been going on a lot longer than that. Look into the free masons. There is a channel on youtube called Chosen King G2G he exposes alot of these things going on.
Does this have to do with anything about a wolf in sheep's clothing? Like beware of who you get close to, because they can be your friend one day, hear something, and be your enemy the next day. So always be vigilant and on the prowl.
Honestly the film was good but the actual acting was terrible and had a bad timing for the lines plus they expected us to know what was going on but it was missing a lot of gaps to the story. The song is really good who sings it?
Geez! Maybe watch something else? Are you a professional story writer? Actor? Anything? Your criticism, constructive or not, leads one to believe that your qualifications are lacking, terribly.
@@colarguns did you even see the film, alter has good actors and great stories but I can't deny the fact that this film was lacking in many ways, the story was good but it seriously needs to be longer in order for us to understand what was going on, that's why I said it has many gaps I never said the film was bad it's just missing the climax and the acting was off anybody with or without experience would have noticed that.
All the basic nuances of story telling were left on the cutting-room floor. No questions were answered. You had me up to the title card. Then, it was a bunch of imagery, with no visual narratives or motivation of characters. Who is good guy, who is bad guy - and why
Thanks, Ciara-AWESOME film! And thanks to ALTER for exhibiting this. This film not only reminds me of, "Get Out" and a part of the film, "COSMIC SLOP" but also informs of how so many Original people have, and are still being used as guinea pigs. I hope She is able to break out of her predicament. Wondering if the original idea was longer, and if so, what else happened.
Btw...I read the poster too and it came to mind one time I was hearing a spiritualist from Louisiana African descent and he was explaining regarding the power of the melanoma or melanin in dark skinned people..I have African descendants and white as powder lol ..but he said there is more power to blacks people than what they know. And if they knew how much power is in their skin as much as in their blood they would not let themselves be oppressed. He was mentioning that they white man wanted to invent Catholicism just so to make voodoo seem evil when voodoo or hoodoo is as much as a religion as any. Idk...he said so much more...and that generally had me thinking about it. I feel like there is so much truth to things he was saying. Mind if I ask what is your opinion on that if any?
I think that the guy from the hardware store has already been broken and the reason that he wears the double triangle symbol is because he is one of them now.
Right at that moment it flashed back to a shot of the liquor bottle. My thought was that she was drugged. Also, after the 911 call when she backed into the house she puts her hand on the wall as if unsteady.
The way she describes the intro as a narrator, I would love some sense in speaking in that kind of tongue. I always admire and envy people who speak with sick intelligence. It blows my mind to the next dimension.
@misa smith How about you stop being a racist shit? Why the hell is skin color oh so important to you? All skin colors are beautiful equally, and you can take your racist ass out of this comment section. They have fought for freedom and equality that they should've had a right to in the first place. I hope you get a fucking sunburn.
The quote at the beginning is from this guy - Albert Montgomery Kligman (March 17, 1916 - February 9, 2010)[1] was a dermatologist who co-invented Retin-A, the acne medication, with James Fulton in 1969.[2] Kligman is also known for the medical research he performed on inmates at Holmesburg Prison in Philadelphia and the scandal it generated years later.
This is like the movie get out but its actually about the physical takeover and not the mental take over .. It's seems to be a generational curse on them
They basically took her in to experiment her on the melanin she has in her skin...you should watch the end where shes dumb and goes outside when her mom told her to lock all the doors till the end you'll might catch something😌
There is power in Melanin. I hear people say she is mixed. i don't see that as being the message that the film is trying to make.. to me she is med complexion and a lot of people with two black parents are this color. we can create every color.
You are power. Melanin in you makes your beautiful skin kissed by the sun. Blacks age less, are more athletics and so on...but it is hiding from you. Making you think your color is a curse. If only you knew my love. You would love who You are.

It's been going on a lot longer than that. Look into the free masons. There is a channel on youtube called Chosen King G2G he exposes alot of these things going on.
A land that celebrate each year the taken off a country. Yes thanksgiving 🗽

America isn't that bad. But this person is clearly a white supremacist

Preach it!
@misa smith And what race are you??
The symbolism in this is really well done. Even the language used has multiple meanings.
Does this have to do with anything about a wolf in sheep's clothing? Like beware of who you get close to, because they can be your friend one day, hear something, and be your enemy the next day. So always be vigilant and on the prowl.
Honestly the film was good but the actual acting was terrible and had a bad timing for the lines plus they expected us to know what was going on but it was missing a lot of gaps to the story. The song is really good who sings it?
Umm.. Your mom?
Geez! Maybe watch something else? Are you a professional story writer? Actor? Anything? Your criticism, constructive or not, leads one to believe that your qualifications are lacking, terribly.
@@colarguns did you even see the film, alter has good actors and great stories but I can't deny the fact that this film was lacking in many ways, the story was good but it seriously needs to be longer in order for us to understand what was going on, that's why I said it has many gaps I never said the film was bad it's just missing the climax and the acting was off anybody with or without experience would have noticed that.
This is exactly what they doing for real and some of y'all joking
Wait this actually happens?!
Not at all
i really like this one, it feels like it could have been one of Keke's stories on "ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?"
Ohhhh! She BROKE THE CHAIN!
I'm getting a huge "Get Out" energy from this short. This was great!
OMG!!! ALTER you're the best ❤❤
Thank you! Stay ALTERed. 🖤
All the basic nuances of story telling were left on the cutting-room floor.
No questions were answered. You had me up to the title card. Then, it was a bunch of imagery, with no visual narratives or motivation of characters. Who is good guy, who is bad guy - and why
The main actress is so pretty and I love her outfit.
Thanks, Ciara-AWESOME film! And thanks to ALTER for exhibiting this. This film not only reminds me of, "Get Out" and a part of the film, "COSMIC SLOP" but also informs of how so many Original people have, and are still being used as guinea pigs. I hope She is able to break out of her predicament. Wondering if the original idea was longer, and if so, what else happened.
She broke the chain !I love it. This has a lot of good elements packed into a very short , short. Bravo pick alter !!
After watching it again, it has the Jordan Peele's " Get Out! " flavor to it.
Ty it’s within the same genre as GET OUT. Peele is starting something extremely important and us Black storytellers are only adding to it.
DAMN, and I'm full of melanin!
Seems like ba lot of people didn't even read the paper that was on the wall at the end.
And I'm full of melatonin
Btw...I read the poster too and it came to mind one time I was hearing a spiritualist from Louisiana African descent and he was explaining regarding the power of the melanoma or melanin in dark skinned people..I have African descendants and white as powder lol ..but he said there is more power to blacks people than what they know. And if they knew how much power is in their skin as much as in their blood they would not let themselves be oppressed. He was mentioning that they white man wanted to invent Catholicism just so to make voodoo seem evil when voodoo or hoodoo is as much as a religion as any. Idk...he said so much more...and that generally had me thinking about it. I feel like there is so much truth to things he was saying. Mind if I ask what is your opinion on that if any?
😂
@@MiniKawaiiWorld1 I don't believe any of it. Depending on where you are in the world and how much sun you get, determines your melanin amount.
“No one can break a chain”
Me: Actually... my dog broke his chain leash so I mean...
I HAVE SEEN A LOOOOT OF ALTER SHORT FILMS, NO ADS!!! WHO SPONSORS YOU ALTER?????
Noooo....I didn't want this to end..Hope it becomes a full length movie🙌
How’d that work out for you?
Well, there's no accounting for taste.
@@VDH1953 Bingo. I lost all interest in the last two minutes.
This was a good one. She should have listened to her mother. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Cheers 😉 🌷
I think that the guy from the hardware store has already been broken and the reason that he wears the double triangle symbol is because he is one of them now.
Y’all Need To Start Dropping Part 2s
i was just about to sleep then i got a notification from alter. well, you’ve guess it! sleep is cancelled! hellooo alter🖤
Mursyi Mohidin 😂😂
Yeah. I've given up trying to stay current. New stuff constantly. Love it
The quote at the start is a real quote from a real person, if you're wondering
So she saw someone in her house got scared and sat on the floor??
Right at that moment it flashed back to a shot of the liquor bottle. My thought was that she was drugged. Also, after the 911 call when she backed into the house she puts her hand on the wall as if unsteady.
🤦🏽♀️ she was drugged honey
Lol, girl, her brown liquor was messed with. She was drugged.
The way she describes the intro as a narrator, I would love some sense in speaking in that kind of tongue. I always admire and envy people who speak with sick intelligence. It blows my mind to the next dimension.
why am i watching this on 2am ?
Probably the same reason i'm watching it at 1am lol.
I am watching it now 02:01 lol
@@nelisiwedubazana8913 cool
I’m obsessed with her hair. It looks so good!
they want that beautiful melanin
Preach! I'm black and beautiful God made me that way and I'm blessed to be that way
@misa smith that's is the most ignorant comment here oh your white aren't you?
@misa smith What Are You Mad For 😂 Black Is Beautiful!!!!! You're Full Of Jelly
@misa smith Trolling is so outdated. Do better, hater..😂
@misa smith How about you stop being a racist shit? Why the hell is skin color oh so important to you? All skin colors are beautiful equally, and you can take your racist ass out of this comment section. They have fought for freedom and equality that they should've had a right to in the first place. I hope you get a fucking sunburn.
This was really good keep it up alter !!!😍🥀
Thank you! Stay ALTERed.
I loved the raw Truth behind this short film😍😍😍 truly breath taking when the chains break✊🏾
The quote at the beginning is from this guy - Albert Montgomery Kligman (March 17, 1916 - February 9, 2010)[1] was a dermatologist who co-invented Retin-A, the acne medication, with James Fulton in 1969.[2] Kligman is also known for the medical research he performed on inmates at Holmesburg Prison in Philadelphia and the scandal it generated years later.
I was prescribed retin a as kid by a pretty "liberal" Dr. It basically burns your face off. Thanks for the info on the creator interesting.
If the dioxin part was interesting to you look up Times Beach disaster . I'm from Stl.
This actress is so pretty ....im in love with her ....i wanna see her in more short films from alter 🖤

Damn now that is what I call a story

@@brimmyburner7530 omg THANK YOU
8 minutes in... that apartment... drinking out of a crystal decanter...works at a hardware store?
“Robin you never be knowing what you wanna do, dam near 30 and you Always movin” tell me this isn’t HEAT
This is like the movie get out but its actually about the physical takeover and not the mental take over .. It's seems to be a generational curse on them
Alter should seriously be on Netflix.
Thank you for another short. You always get the best ones. 👍
lead actress is gorgeous! Absolute amazing film...can't wait for the full movie! I got a lot of questions!
At least lock the damn door lol.
My apologies, but I don't get it.
They basically took her in to experiment her on the melanin she has in her skin...you should watch the end where shes dumb and goes outside when her mom told her to lock all the doors till the end you'll might catch something😌
@@juliem9825 u make no sence
I don't either what was the white Dr or whatever she was trying to accomplish?
There is power in Melanin. I hear people say she is mixed. i don't see that as being the message that the film is trying to make.. to me she is med complexion and a lot of people with two black parents are this color. we can create every color.
Karen Thomas thank you !! Omg ! People haven’t figured this out yet . Smh 🤦🏽♀️
Honestly. As an African, I can tell you that black people have ALWAYS come in different shades and tones. We aren’t all the same damn color.
The main actress is absolutely gorgeous, she really held it up.
I didn’t understand this film... 🥺😊🥺 someone can explain?
Genetic testing for melanin. Fountain of youth.
You are power. Melanin in you makes your beautiful skin kissed by the sun. Blacks age less, are more athletics and so on...but it is hiding from you. Making you think your color is a curse. If only you knew my love. You would love who You are.
Marie Jean-Baptiste yeah they were breeded to be strong back in the days
Lola Marinho A human sacrifice!
Mysasser1 yes, in a nutshell, this is it!
Movie: _"...Robyn."_
Me: _"and I took it personally."_
Wait if u broke wth u drinking what appears to be whiskey from a crystal container?? Why the IPhone x at 9:00 ? I NEED ANSWERS
Probably why she's broke now. >.
this has us lol'ing
You know what, there are a lot of broke people with those phones. Lol 😂.
I feel you @Lizzie Claire. Or, maybe a family member gifted those items to her. . .It's possible.
great short. the acting was so genuine. well done to all those involved.
Beautiful piece❣️🏆Well done in every aspect and leaves us wanting MORE!! 👏 👏 👏 💖
If she don't just spit out that chain...
