Hey AJ, Loved the film. The pacing was well done. The acting was well directed. The sound design and the CGI were hollywood quality. Loved it. Eager to see what else your team will do.
@dr4kz0r thanks for your kind words about the monster. Not sure what you mean by feministic values but I’m pleased you had an emotional response to our story!
The movie reminded me the old 2001 game "Venom codename outbreak", released as a normal war game... At least till you don't find, after some hours of game, these weird monsters in the woods make you think WTF?
@d3adsoulja I realized that a good while ago, long before you decided to say what numerous people were screaming in my face. I always thought that meant that his films were just Oscar winning and he had a funny way of saying it.
Thanks for the kindness from so many lovely viewers. It’s good to know just how many folks appreciate how much work from so many people goes into creating even a short film like this. Magic doesn’t happen by magic! 😉
@Gangari TheWanderer The monster represents homophobia. The ranger represents the bigoted social order willing to kill anyone to prevent them from revealing homophobia as the sickness that it is. Go ahead, prove me wrong.
I know if I had a place that was in such a great location, I sure as hell wouldn't go some place else to camp, NOPE!!!! Having a nice home in a beautiful setting would definitely be a big plus for me.
Extremely well done. In such little time you captured the essence of the father and his two kids. The only thing that was odd was the reaction of the father upon meeting the monster; smiling along with his calm expression just seemed very unusual, almost as if he knew something we didn't.
He was a little drunk, So.maybe at first he didn't process what he was seeing... thought it was a hallucination, or something ... until it frightened him by stamping its foot.
well given what his wife did to him with another woman... he probably was welcoming the idea of it finishing him off right there... he was well lit up drunk and depressed... what snapped him back was the fact that he realized after he was taken out... it would then move on to his innocent son and brainwashed daughter...
I actually take this note and we talked a lot about it! At the end of the day, we felt it would slow this particular iteration of the story way down so we left it on the cutting room floor!
and that they concordantly keep it a secret . (I assume the "don't speak" part pertains to among each other). I wonder if they will be held for questioning down the road or even surveyed from now on.
Also seemed a bit unrealistic that they could fall peacefully asleep after such an encounter. Just watching it could keep me awake for hours! LOL! But movies of all kinds have those kind of moments that probably wouldn't happen in real life. It was a really good story with a cliff hanger ending that leaves everyone free to imagine their own ending. (I still want to see a part 2 though!) (:
@@hemmojito Or maybe they disappear and are never heard from again.....and maybe it's because Dad will become one of those monsters having been bitten by it. The kids are just collateral damage. They have to stay and live their lives in secret, possibly becoming prisoners or maybe members of the research team. Either way they disappear as far as the rest of the world knows. OR maybe they are just killed. Nah....that's not creative enough. Just being killed would be too common. Definitely need a creative part 2 to bring some closure to this. Then maybe a part 3! (:
Please don’t make part 2 where they have to flee for their lives and be hunted down to be killed for witnessing it. If the security guy wanted to kill them he could’ve done it when the little kid gave it away. Better that they would be under surveillance for a time so if they said something they could be discredited or taken to the side and explained why they shouldn’t say anything if it was legitimately something that needed to be kept quiet. ( like an inquisitive alien just visiting but doing no real harm but expected and known to them…. Hence the asteroid story on the news. Also…. Any facility that really wanted to be kept secret would have MUCH better maintained signs and video security where they would’ve been detected on arrival. Part 2 could be great if not going down these standard overdone routes. IMHO. But very well done and I liked it. 🙂👍
@@ajspinks268 you gotta be a brit, spelling "tone" rather than "ton". creator writer perhaps? the dad is in on it, he went there to show his kids what he's been doing for 6 months possibly to be infected for unknown reasons, perhaps immoral reasons ...or somehow to save his kids from something
I'd rather the unknowns were just left hanging. Sequels lead to more sequels until you get the inevitable low-quality ones. I like movies and books that resist the compulsion to explain everything.
@@dontaylor7315 my brother makes those kind of movies. The only thing good about an artsy fartsy movie with no ending is not having to watch a sequel with no beginning or ending... especially if your younger sibling who everyone loves more than you even though you worked hard your entire life and have to support him longer than your own children who have already moved out and started lives of their own allowing him to move from the couch to the basement to a room after they left. Sorry, I have issues. He did star in one monster movie I like. Killed the monster, got the girl and made the DVD cover. So proud......
I think they were somehow connected. At first I thought "monster" representing dad wirh alcohol abuse so I thought he was gonna do something more horrible. Thank God I was wrong
'....and don't ever come back here again'. Right. I think the chances of repeat visits to that particular neck of the woods are......unlikely. Excellent monster.

I loved the characters. I just hope they don't end up being killed if there's a part 2. I mean the "ranger" could have already killed them. The monster or alien was also really well done. I love these shorts!
This film is even a little shorter than the old classic TV Twilight Zone, etc. episodes. Great to see someone doing classic horror in 20+ minutes and making it satisfing.
So, a man that leaves his wife for another woman, is the bad guy. A woman that leaves her husband for another woman, and the husband is the bad guy. ok, got it.
for us it was always that there's right and wrong on both sides of any argument and that it's so easy to get into entrenched positions and forget about other stuff. This film is about common ground and remembering the simple stuff
I don’t think he is portrayed as the bad guy. He is struggling with the fact his wife left him. His kids, especially the daughter, are bitter about the fact it seems he’s deserted them. He’s dealing with the situation in his own way, maybe not the best way, but his own way.
@@SMaamri78 Agreed. Anyway when marriages break up kids either blame themselves or blame one of the parents. They need help working through it and learning there are usually no bad guys.
If you came across something like that in the woods you're main aim would be to get out of there as quickly as possible and worry about your injuries later...especially if you had your kids with you
Agreed-I would like to see this developed into a full length film focusing on the monster-what is it and why is it there. Kind of like Stranger Things or the Devil Below. I'm a huge fan of monster movies and I love the fact that you got a really good look at it unlike in some films where you only see fleeting glimpses
Very well done in every aspect, though it did feel like the beginning of something further on. Great job folks, solid acting all around, great stuff, and cudos on the monster, VERY well conceived and executed!
So far, this is one of my favorite Omeleto flicks! The graphics and sound effects were very realistic. Love the characters, esp the one that crashes the camp site!
thank you so much! On behalf of the whole team that made this film, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kind words and we're so pleased you liked the movie!
@@ajspinks268Thank you so much for your uploads! Been collecting a ton of your scifi-ish ones onto a private list. Am curious, do you have any shorts that have anything to do with birds or bird-like cryptids, such as the mothman? 😁
So glad I am not the only one who has daughters with their mobiles glued to there hands even their mum has to text them to ask questions or tell them dinner is ready lol but all in all I enjoyed the film.
wow! Very cool monster, had to be spider like for full on chills! Was weird the way he smiled at it, thought it was going to start talking the way it reacted. Worth a watch, really well made & acted!
I agree, because my idea of camping does not involve sleeping in the wilderness, because I want to feel safe and be able to use the restroom any time that I need to. If I went camping again, it would be in a cabin, or a very nice motorhome.
The brat girl in this reminds me… I’m so glad my daughter is grown and I don’t have to deal with her attitudes anymore! Now, if she has an attitude, I don’t have to tiptoe around her. I can simply tell her to go home! Come see me when you feel better!
When marriages break up kids either blame themselves or blame one of the parents. They need help working through it and learning there are no bad guys.
I think dad knew something was out there. He almost seemed glad the monster showed up. I’m thinking family annihilation but then he had second thoughts.
He reacted that way because he felt it was a prank he drank heavily before going to bed and woke up to such sight and maybe thought it’s just his imagination playing a fast one on him until the monster put a foot down
This was such a great film. The story flow was well done and the actors were top notch. I would love to see this as a series or film. It ended so quick. I wanted more.
@@ajspinks268 Yes, I agree about your talent, and I'm amazed that not only did you manage to include huge, important subjects like divorce and, the fact that the mom left dad for a woman, how all that affects the children, but also three in a bit about what may be going on in the National forests làtely(not particularly a monster, but something sinister)All in 23 minutes! Bravo!
I love this! Disney and other studios with their unlimited pile if cash throw remakes and prequels at our faces, and here you produce such a brilliant and ORIGINAL short film on a budget probably less than Tom Cruises monthly grocery budget. I hope you get ALL the funding you need!
This is like that film _2012_ but much less extreme and way more believable. Short enough so you don't grow tired of the high stakes and drama, yet with characters so believable you wouldn't mind a full fledge film of it! Don't get me wrong, _2012_ isn't all bad, but it's more for the comedy and my personal preference leans more towards serious, realistic encounters like this film showcased. Really loved the monster! It looked incredible! All the characters were very well written too, but I could honestly relate to Kaela, so thank you for that!
I thought they were going to do a drone strike on the vehicle at the end. The father should've never gone into the woods without the means to protect his family.
i dislike that most of the movies on here are left with cliffhangers but at the same time they are STILL better than most modern movies which i think is insane. i LOVE this channel
This film short was better than 99% of what’s available on streaming services that aren’t free. I hope we can see more from the makers of this short. A series or full length film based on this would be great.
@dr4kz0r well I’m the director. And I’ve read your multiple comments, and I’ve taken your constructive feedback on board: always a learning experience!
@@nelsonkiiru7252sure there is. We are not the exeptions. For us here, we dont carry guns to the grocery stores. The mentality here is just not the same. We dont see the president (and yes Justin is not a god. He is just a regular guy) doesnt go on T.V. every day to talk about the threats we are facing as a nation or to talk about wich plot or wich country is spying on us or anything of that nature. That's why to me is very hard to understand this HUGE NEED to carry a weapon. Sure plenty of people own hunting riffles or other hunting equipements such as bows or any other weapons. We dont bring them out just to go to the mailbox or anywhere else. And as i said above, the president Justin Trudeau is NOT A GOD, he is a normal guy just like you or me. And no allegiance to the flag either. That's another thing that i just dont understand. Why praying and swear allegiance to a flag?? It's just a piece of cloth to me. I only have one god and its not the Canadian flag.
@@jadzia2098 Do you drive? Do you carry a spare tire and a jack? 99% of the time you won't need either one, but that 1% of the time you will be in serious trouble without them. At best you are dependent on the kindness and goodwill of strangers. Weapons are the same.
The Dad's first reaction to the bug alien 🕷️👽 thing, would not be my first reaction lol 😆! Get scared 😳, and run first... Then chill if there's a reason to!
@@ajspinks268 That's a good point... With the shock of it, and everything! I really have no idea how I would react irl, but hopefully I'll never have to lol 😁! Much more fun to watch anyway!
@@ajspinks268 True 😊... I mean who would think they would ever encounter an actual monster lol! You've got me analyzing this more than I would have so thank you for that, and the great film!
What a wonderful story ❤ of Family resilience and finding each other. Even though this was a short film, the father learned his Beautiful Daughter was incredibly smart and His Son also was in tuned into what was going on with the family dynamics for his age. Ah! Now the Alien, who refreshingly didn't have 2 legs and was very scary. But you left ( I'm moaning now lol) the story wide open for a sequel (part 2) this short story could make for a rather interesting movie. I Loved the Actors and they deserve a Applause because they were excellent. Thank you 😊 for a rather interesting Story/topic.....now please 🙏 A movie ?.
If this film ends up detouring potential future campers, then that is a REAL SHAME. I've camped over two dozen times across the USA, and I can confidently say that I have only had one vivid encounter with a strange creature while soloing in the woods. No big deal though... just some claws poking through an opening in my car window, some heavy breathing with a vocal tone lower than any animal I have ever heard, and some slight car shaking (it was NOT a bear). NBD. To anyone that is skeptical about strange things in deep woods... just keep an open mind. I hadn't kept one until I lived my supernatural experience. That being said... I encourage people to still go and camp, I still do.
All the shorts I have watched so car tell so much more than any other 2-3h Hollywood movie. Great story! Makes me wonder what would happen to them next but sometimes that makes for all the excitement
I am legitimately confused on how all this is posted for free, I know there are many streaming services already, but you could probably make a killing selling these “mini-movies” on a service like that. Just saying, and I am perfectly fine with them free.
I am thinking the same thing. Every single one of these mini movies I've watched the acting has been excellent, plot lines really interesting etc. I reckon they should keep the mini movies free but make longer versions of these movies that people can subscibe and pay for.
I've said this so many times, but Hollyweird could take lessons from some of these vids; the video quality is good, the acting (as in this vid) is not just good, but honest, and scripting is intelligent. I'd like to know what was down the road. Nicely done.
Dag this is the 1st time watching your channel & I first I thought it was just scary horror story told but I didn’t realize it was a short horror film! I just gotta give the props ya’ll deserve this was actual really really Good, now u got me hooked & gotta find more of these to watch! Better than what’s on the channels now that’s def real talk!
Great short film ... very well made with a nice build up into the story and a good ending. Though it leaves one feeling there is a lot more that could follow on from this and that's where our own imaginations start to kick in.
Thank you everybody who has watched the film and has taken the time to leave a comment. Means a lot to the whole team

@@ajspinks268Thank you so much for your uploads! Been collecting a ton of your scifi-ish ones onto a private list.
Am curious, do you have any shorts that have anything to do with birds or bird-like cryptids, such as the mothman? 😁
@@avianearth2397 i don't have any cryptid stuff yet but i'm WRITING some cool stuff
@@ajspinks268 Awesome! Lately I've been attempting to write my first book.....Science fiction! It's been an enthralling experience.
@@avianearth2397 All the best with the writing!
Short & sweet, but well done!!!👍
Interesting plot and it kept my interest to the very end, it's been a while that I enjoyed a monster film especially a short film, great job Allen.
Thanks so much for the kind words about our film!
We're so glad you enjoyed our film. Thank you!
So glad I am not the only one who has daughters with their mobiles glued to there hands even their mum has to text them to ask questions or tell them dinner is ready lol but all in all I enjoyed the film.
Thanks for your comments Paul! We appreciate it
wow! Very cool monster, had to be spider like for full on chills! Was weird the way he smiled at it, thought it was going to start talking the way it reacted. Worth a watch, really well made & acted!
People... Just go camping where there are lots of others around. Or go to a cabin.
Or just get a hotel
😂😂😂👍
I agree, because my idea of camping does not involve sleeping in the wilderness, because I want to feel safe and be able to use the restroom any time that I need to. If I went camping again, it would be in a cabin, or a very nice motorhome.
They need to make a full movie out of this.with everyone we just saw,that guys team,more creatures like that...
Thanks so much for your kind words! Thrilled you enjoyed our film
Thanks for the feedback. So glad you enjoyed the film!
This needs to be a TV series...this would make an outstanding pilot.
thanks so much Nina! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the film!
@@ajspinks268 Oh, it was great. Reminded me a lot of Wayward Pines.
@@ninasmithers1016 we're going to check it out!
@@ajspinks268 You haven't seen Wayward Pines? Great show. Just don't look for spoilers on it or you'll ruin the entire experience.
@@ninasmithers1016 NOTED! Thanks for the recommendation
The brat girl in this reminds me… I’m so glad my daughter is grown and I don’t have to deal with her attitudes anymore! Now, if she has an attitude, I don’t have to tiptoe around her. I can simply tell her to go home! Come see me when you feel better!
This would make an awesome mini-series. Well done Allen and the Team.
thanks so much for taking the time to watch our movie!
@spirals 73 ur opinion , not mine. Contact the people of the film.
No, they sucked for not writing an ending.
This was so good. Two young stars in the making there.
Thank you for watching our movie! It means a lot to all of us
typical, even when the mother is objectively in the wrong being the cheater it's still somehow the man's fault.
You missed the part where he was avoiding his kids
When marriages break up kids either blame themselves or blame one of the parents. They need help working through it and learning there are no bad guys.
@@gaargy1 you missed the part where their mother cheated on their father and has custody of the children.
@Impersonal Immigrant court bias, the kids were shown to be living with their mother and not their father despire her being at fault for the divorce.
@Impersonal Immigrant that's what i'm saying.
A family confronts a "monster" that threatens the integrity of the family unit ...anger.
C'mon man.....this should be turned into a movie and released on Netflix !!
thanks so much for the kind words! We'd LOVE to do that as there's more story we want to tell!
Glad you enjoyed it! We’re hoping to make one.
@@ajspinks268 you deserve that appreciation 😊. You guys are really creative. Oh yes, please continue ! Best wishes👏
@@theresahedges1478 I am excited😁. Good luck !
@@turkologistifaz Thank you so much! That’s very kind of you.
I think dad knew something was out there. He almost seemed glad the monster showed up. I’m thinking family annihilation but then he had second thoughts.
He reacted that way because he felt it was a prank he drank heavily before going to bed and woke up to such sight and maybe thought it’s just his imagination playing a fast one on him until the monster put a foot down
This was such a great film. The story flow was well done and the actors were top notch. I would love to see this as a series or film. It ended so quick. I wanted more.
thanks so much for your kind words! We're working on a longer version!
Thank you so much - that's always good to hear!
It wasn't a monster. It was a family counselor.
Where’s part 2? This could be a Netflix series. Very well done. Reminds me of “The Mist”.
thanks so much! Hopefully we get to tell the rest of the story!
@@ajspinks268 I’ll look out for it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The quality of actors' performances in these films is very impressive. The young actors are especially skilled and magnificently authentic!
This Spinks guy is really talented. I’m predicting big things in his future. Looking forward to watching the journey unfold
Ah thank you. Really appreciate you taking the time to watch the film and I’m thrilled you enjoyed it
@@ajspinks268 Yes, I agree about your talent, and I'm amazed that not only did you manage to include huge, important subjects like divorce and, the fact that the mom left dad for a woman, how all that affects the children, but also three in a bit about what may be going on in the National forests làtely(not particularly a monster, but something sinister)All in 23 minutes! Bravo!
A part two is sorely needed! Or better yet a full length feature film!!
we're writing away! funding for genre films like this is tough in the UK but we're trying!
One of the best omeleto's I've seen.
= really impressed! loved the characters/actors btw…very believable…💛 great job!
Thank you so much! Glad you liked it!
Consider my day made! Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this!
Disney and other studios with their unlimited pile if cash throw remakes and prequels at our faces, and here you produce such a brilliant and ORIGINAL short film on a budget probably less than Tom Cruises monthly grocery budget.
I hope you get ALL the funding you need!
This was gooooood!! Leaves me wondering what happens after contact with the "thorns".
well the monster was none threatening
This is like that film _2012_ but much less extreme and way more believable. Short enough so you don't grow tired of the high stakes and drama, yet with characters so believable you wouldn't mind a full fledge film of it! Don't get me wrong, _2012_ isn't all bad, but it's more for the comedy and my personal preference leans more towards serious, realistic encounters like this film showcased. Really loved the monster! It looked incredible! All the characters were very well written too, but I could honestly relate to Kaela, so thank you for that!
I’m absolutely thrilled that you enjoyed our film! Thanks so much for your comments
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. It's really appreciated!
VERY GOOD!! One of the best short films. Cannot WAIT for part 2!!! Thank you HEAPS to the film makers!
thanks so much Brian! I'm thrilled you like the film!
You're very welcome! We're so glad you enjoyed it!
Fishing - "Call it something else, like waiting, waiting near water." hehe.
Directly inspired by my own experiences as a child! Thanks so much for watching!
@@ajspinks268 ty for the great vid - and that funny insight which I have never thought of :) may you create a lot more cool art.
Lovely film! The kids knocked it out of the park and the writing was excellent. The boy’s snark had me laughing out loud!
Thanks so much for watching our film!
Thank you for the lovely feedback! Really glad you enjoyed the film. ☺️👍🏻🙏🏻
typical high school conversations: did you tell em i like em? whatd they say?
*sighs*
I thought they were going to do a drone strike on the vehicle at the end.
The father should've never gone into the woods without the means to protect his family.
Boy absentmindedly walking down the wrong path did it for me. Kids are hilarious.
It's insane how good these are
Thanks so much for your kind words about our film!
@@ajspinks268 welcome. I truly hope to see more. Amazing work from the writers, all the way to the acting! Thanks for sharing with us.
Loved this one!
19:20 "What we're gonna tell mum?" made my day :)
Thanks so much for watching our film!
This needs a part 2. Outstanding.
Thanks Curt! We are working on it!!
i dislike that most of the movies on here are left with cliffhangers but at the same time they are STILL better than most modern movies which i think is insane. i LOVE this channel
thanks so much for your lovely comments on the film
This film short was better than 99% of what’s available on streaming services that aren’t free. I hope we can see more from the makers of this short. A series or full length film based on this would be great.
Thanks so much for your kind words about our film! We’re doing our best to make it happen
Wow! That's so kind of you!
@dr4kz0r well I’m the director. And I’ve read your multiple comments, and I’ve taken your constructive feedback on board: always a learning experience!
Have just sunscribed! Brilliant! Well done, beautifully done. Now, where's part 2?... .......please xxxx
Of course they are real, they can be our partners, our bosses, even in the family.
Better than most two hour big budget movies! Great job guys.
Great short film. I wish all divorced dads had the opportunity to heroically save their kids from an oversized alien monster.
Who do we speak to to make this happen? Maybe it’s like a tournament or something?
Wait! There is SO much more to this story...
SO much more... hopefully we'll be telling it soon!
Good film. Thanks.
For the cryptoid, yes, the father....not so much. The father gets patches up at the hospital and then back to his pokey life.
There definitely is!
Moral of the story... never go camping.
Great piece... clearly it struck a nerve with me as it paralleled some real life stuff with me personally... Good Job.
The British: "Why do Americans like to own guns?"
Americans: "THIS is why!"
They are born with guns in there hands. Just have a hard time to understand this need to own guns. Its very different here in Canada.
@@jadzia2098 Geez, I dunno...to have an upper hand or at the very least a fighting chance in a fight from assailants or thugs or rapists , duh!!
@@jadzia2098 violent crime happens everywhere even where ur from, am sure of it.
@@nelsonkiiru7252sure there is. We are not the exeptions. For us here, we dont carry guns to the grocery stores. The mentality here is just not the same. We dont see the president (and yes Justin is not a god. He is just a regular guy) doesnt go on T.V. every day to talk about the threats we are facing as a nation or to talk about wich plot or wich country is spying on us or anything of that nature. That's why to me is very hard to understand this HUGE NEED to carry a weapon. Sure plenty of people own hunting riffles or other hunting equipements such as bows or any other weapons. We dont bring them out just to go to the mailbox or anywhere else. And as i said above, the president Justin Trudeau is NOT A GOD, he is a normal guy just like you or me. And no allegiance to the flag either. That's another thing that i just dont understand. Why praying and swear allegiance to a flag?? It's just a piece of cloth to me. I only have one god and its not the Canadian flag.
@@jadzia2098 Do you drive? Do you carry a spare tire and a jack? 99% of the time you won't need either one, but that 1% of the time you will be in serious trouble without them. At best you are dependent on the kindness and goodwill of strangers. Weapons are the same.
Child actors are brilliant. Line about waiting by water was funny. I agree with comments - we need part two. If this were a series, I'd watch it.
The Dad's first reaction to the bug alien 🕷️👽 thing, would not be my first reaction lol 😆! Get scared 😳, and run first... Then chill if there's a reason to!
we always felt he's frozen here, fear is an unusual response!
@@ajspinks268 That's a good point... With the shock of it, and everything! I really have no idea how I would react irl, but hopefully I'll never have to lol 😁! Much more fun to watch anyway!
@@PixieStitchs perhaps he felt like it was a dream? ;)
@@ajspinks268 True 😊... I mean who would think they would ever encounter an actual monster lol! You've got me analyzing this more than I would have so thank you for that, and the great film!
@@PixieStitchs no problem at all - there's lots going on here on a number of levels, or we tried to have that anyway! Am pleased you liked the film
this was absolutely incredible! I really need a part 2!
thanks Abby!
Thank you, Abby (I totally agree, btw :) )
Me too !!! 😱
I have no nails left after watching !!
Excellent. Great narrative editing to keep things moving... Great script... Let's have part 2!!!
Thanks Peter! We are working on a story right now!!!
pretty murderous looking monster to be so bad at murdering
What a wonderful story ❤ of Family resilience and finding each other. Even though this was a short film, the father learned his Beautiful Daughter was incredibly smart and His Son also was in tuned into what was going on with the family dynamics for his age. Ah! Now the Alien, who refreshingly didn't have 2 legs and was very scary. But you left ( I'm moaning now lol) the story wide open for a sequel (part 2) this short story could make for a rather interesting movie. I Loved the Actors and they deserve a Applause because they were excellent. Thank you 😊 for a rather interesting Story/topic.....now please 🙏 A movie ?.
Nope, be satisfied with what you see. The writers are too lazy to write a good ending.
If this film ends up detouring potential future campers, then that is a REAL SHAME.
I've camped over two dozen times across the USA, and I can confidently say that I have only had one vivid encounter with a strange creature while soloing in the woods.
No big deal though... just some claws poking through an opening in my car window, some heavy breathing with a vocal tone lower than any animal I have ever heard, and some slight car shaking (it was NOT a bear). NBD.
To anyone that is skeptical about strange things in deep woods... just keep an open mind. I hadn't kept one until I lived my supernatural experience.
That being said... I encourage people to still go and camp, I still do.
Wow - ok, I see this hitting Netflix, we need a full length version of this!!
thank you so much for your kind words Noeleen! I'm so pleased you enjoyed the film
@@ajspinks268 It's just brilliant. There is sooooo much more to this story and I wanna see it!!
Thanks, Noeleen! I’m so glad you like the film ☺️
All the shorts I have watched so car tell so much more than any other 2-3h Hollywood movie.
Great story! Makes me wonder what would happen to them next but sometimes that makes for all the excitement
Well this was great 👍🏼
It just felt unfinished, I definitely want to see more. It could easily be made into a miniseries. 🌹
It's unfinished because the lazy ass writers got tired of writing.
Awesome film would love to see a continuation of this film. Great acting.
we're trying our best! thanks so much for watching
Very well acted, and shot. Better than the rubbish the BBC try to pass off as Doctor Who these days.
Thanks so much for your kind words about our film!
Beautiful cinematography, nicely composed shots.
I am legitimately confused on how all this is posted for free, I know there are many streaming services already, but you could probably make a killing selling these “mini-movies” on a service like that. Just saying, and I am perfectly fine with them free.
I am thinking the same thing. Every single one of these mini movies I've watched the acting has been excellent, plot lines really interesting etc. I reckon they should keep the mini movies free but make longer versions of these movies that people can subscibe and pay for.
money can be made using advts/ product promotions also since the channel as 3 million subscribers already instead of making it a paid channel
Yes they are miles better than the weird "filler" films on Amazon
Enjoyed it a lot. The camera work is just brilliant and so sharp! Definitely should be a feature length movie.
thank you so much! Me and the whole team behind the film are so pleased you enjoyed it!
Definitely !! We need to know what happens next !!
I've said this so many times, but Hollyweird could take lessons from some of these vids; the video quality is good, the acting (as in this vid) is not just good, but honest, and scripting is intelligent. I'd like to know what was down the road. Nicely done.
Thanks for watching Bob! On behalf of all of us who made this film, thanks for your lovely comments
I second what Adam says - thanks for the lovely feedback!
Hollyweird is too busy making remakes and reboots.
Dag this is the 1st time watching your channel & I first I thought it was just scary horror story told but I didn’t realize it was a short horror film! I just gotta give the props ya’ll deserve this was actual really really Good, now u got me hooked & gotta find more of these to watch! Better than what’s on the channels now that’s def real talk!
Thanks so much for your kind words about our film Elaine! Thrilled you enjoyed it!
Great short film ... very well made with a nice build up into the story and a good ending. Though it leaves one feeling there is a lot more that could follow on from this and that's where our own imaginations start to kick in.
Thanks for watching Martin! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the film
