Wonderful. Congratulations to all involved; I was thoroughly invested within 2 mins of the start. Great chemistry between the actors, this should be a full series.❤
Very intriguing concept and very well-acted. I could see this being a series. Would love to know more of the back story and extent of their powers and how they manifest.
"I was scared of me without you and you without me." " I got you Mama." The parting is so poignant and bittersweet between the mother and daughter at the end. One could just imagine what they've seen and been through together only to finally accept the inevitable. Fabulous acting.
For people who failed to follow the plot. After a solar flare , certain children began emitting radiation when exposed to sunlight. This caused a societal collapse Regular people began imprisoning or killing these kids to protect themselves from the radiation. She's in a community that teaches the children to suppress the phenomena , but they can also choose to embrace it at which point they become "Elders". She chooses to become an Elder at the end.
Were you involved with the production or something? Because if that’s actually what is going on here, this one is going to need a 100% rewrite and then complete reshoot. Sheesh.
What's going on is if a script is written for someone with an IQ of 100 you lose half your potential audience. So almost all mass media is written at a level someone with an IQ of 83 can understand , because 90% of the population has an IQ over 83. It's why pop culture is so "dumbed down" If someone is raised on a diet of pop culture , they never develop the ability to follow the plot unless it's spoon fed to them , usually multiple times. (A cool drinking game is to watch CSI and take a shot every time a major plot point is explained more than once....you'll be drunk by the second commercial break) Re-watch the film, pay close attention to what people are saying because the plot points are only mentioned once , study the props (especially the newspaper clippings) and you'll see the entire plot I just described.
While the rest of your take may be mostly on par, I'm not quite sure about her "choosing to become an Elder". What I got from the dialogue is that the girl and her mother have never really been apart since she started manifesting her abilities. They came to the commune looking for help but still don't quite trust Frank (which is also mentioned in the description as "figuring out where their intentions and loyalties lie"). It's also apparent from the dialogue that her powers are manifesting in a way that hasn't been seen before. In the end, after the encounter with the two "hunters", the girl and her mother realize that it is best (safer for both) for her to go with Frank and join the commune.
Rare to get accomplished actors on here (or at any rate, ones I recognize). Story is intriguing, definitely would like to see this continued or expanded into a movie or series.
What an interesting movie. Wish it had been longer. Maybe a follow up later on ??????????? Thank you for the time you gave to make this movie happen 😊 🐾🐾 Texas
I'm 100% loving the storyline. The cast has amazing chemistry. I'm very familiar with two of the main actors. I look forward to more from this director. 🤞 Hopefully I'm looking at the beginning of a television series or an awesome movie. Well done🎉
The cinematography in this work reminds me of how The Walking Dead was shot. The acting and direction in the same way. But with a whole other story. Great work and good stuff!
Oh maaaaan, this is BINGE WORTHY!!! When is the full film or series dropping? The suspense is unreal from the get go, the back story world that is left to be desired has so much avenues to explore and even a future style exploration is exciting to think about... the acting, the directing the script have me on the edge of my seat... exploring the power that lies within that we all have which some of us are more connected to is a scary uncharted space in this modern world, the unknown is always met with fear as history has shown so I can't wait to see how this is developed... #IGotYou #DayLightRules
So I started watching and suddenly I see him. Bruh.. No freakin way. There he was, David Ajala, that I know and love from Discovery. INSTANT LIKE. You couldn't pay me enough to "not" give this video a like. It's happening, it happened, it's already done.
The very ending was confusing. The surges are coming again, so everyone was in danger, two ways of handling the surges, got it. Touching goodbye between mother and daughter. But I thought the man was to take her to the Elders in the bunker? Why is he letting her do the solar thing again when she got hurt just yesterday? Did he grow out of being affected?
Man that was excellent!!! All the trash movies and remakes being made, this right here should be a full movie. I don’t know if it’s a funding issues, but let’s figure out how to get it solved!
After a solar flare , some children began emitting radiation when exposed to sunlight. (Most of that is revealed by the newspaper clippings and shown on the radiation meters) The adult Male keeps listing off the safety rules to keep her from emitting radiation. During the dialogue between the two adults you find out that the Mother and her Daughter came to this remote community because they can teach children to suppress the phenomena, that someday she'll be able to walk uncovered in the Sun without emitting radiation. During the conversations between the Mother and Daughter , you find out that the girl is hesitant to suppress the phenomena, that she actually enjoys it and feels drawn to it. After they are captured, the things their captors say , reference back to the newspaper clippings , letting you know that normal people are capturing the "sun children" and locking them away to protect themselves because the radiation they emit caused society to collapse. (It's why they are scared, angry, bitter and look impoverished.) Once they are freed , the "sun girl" and the adults talk , and she tells them that she has decided to embrace the phenomena, her Mother accepts it and says her goodbyes ...and that's when you find out that people who fully embraced the phenomena are called "Elders" and her eyes start to glow.
It was interesting, but it was difficult to understand what was happening and why. Perhaps less dialogue and atmospherics in such a short film and more storytelling and pace?
All aspects of this production seem to be top notch. Unfortunately, a huge percentage of those commenting don't have a clue to the storyline, even with preview notes, The whole point, whatever it is, is missed, and disappointment sets in. At least it did for me.
As much as I enjoy seeing David Ajala in anything-he could just read his grocery list-this doesn't tell any story. The video caption reveals more than the screenplay does. This lack of any real context or resolution for 10 minutes is more offputting than anything else. This needs work before it's worth anyone's time to watch and I really wish Dust would stop posting these concept video demos with no followthrough.
Sure there is. People like her absorb the power of the sun, and that shows in their eyes. That frightens people because they see the energy as either something to capture or harness, or destroyed out of fear. It depends if its viewed from science, or religious nut jobs. The dialogue indicates that she's next level, and could be a projection of the future with a new species emerging. As a lot of humans are destructive of anything new, she needs to join the group to be safe. Now, this is like movie trailer, and the next step would be to follow it into a new future.
So excited to see our film DAYLIGHT RULES on DUST.
I hope your experience watching the film touches you. AB
Hola, como estas?
Thrilled to have been a part of this 😎

First time that I've seen David Ajala (Cleveland Booker - ST: Discovery) in something else. Fine actor.
Booker that's right, I was certain I've seen him before he's a good actor.
Wasn't he in SuperGirl on the CW

All I want to know is MORE about what is going on with this story! Wonderful acting by all involved!
Great acting. I still have no clue what the actual F was happening, but looks like it might expand a bit if the story weee allowed to develop more.

No , every bit of the story is in the show.
It's in the dialogue and shown on the props.

All of that explanation is lost in production.... such a shame because It's a great start. 30 seconds of someone explaining that would have helped.
David Ajala thank you for accepting this role, great performance.
This was AMAZING. Great acting, and the plot was on point. Here's a clue READ THE DESCRIPTION!

Omg, how the heck did you get him onboard, and one of the girls are also a famous one, great script, great everything, keep it coming :)
Very good acting here. I hope to see more f them.
Star Trek dude.... he's talented
So excited
Anyone hear the phone ding near the end??🤭🤭 Cool film!!👻🤪🌶🤘😎♾️
Thanks, has possibilities. ✌🏻👊🏼
How did y’all get the guy from Star Trek and the lady from The Foundation on here?! I think that’s pretty cool!
Better than Discovery. 😁
Aaah gee it ended at the wrong time!*,-??&'*** Sign of a good trailer - leaving us wondering. 😊

Frank is Booker from StarTrek Discovery

Love the fact that the guy from Star Trek Discovery is in this one.
David Ajala is amazing. ❤
That's where I know him from. 'Cleveland', 600 or 700 years in the future.
And T'Nia Miller from Fall of the House of Usher. She is amazing!
Cleveland BOOKER! Woo HOOO! I half expected to see his forehead light up like on Star Trek, too, with all this sunbeam stuff grumbling about, Lol
What is Star track. Or that enoying bs
Only, thank you
“Book!”
I liked it wish there was more.
The one lady played in The Haunting of Bly Manor as the housekeeper and she's very talented. T'Nia Miller is her name.
DUST, i subscribed
Didn't care much for the story, but it was nice seeing David Ajala in it.
IM SO EXITED BY YOUR FILMS ID LIKE TO ALSO BE ABLE TO MAKE FILMS
Still not sure what this is about?
After a solar flare , some children began emitting radiation when exposed to sunlight.
(Most of that is revealed by the newspaper clippings and shown on the radiation meters)
The adult Male keeps listing off the safety rules to keep her from emitting radiation.
During the dialogue between the two adults you find out that the Mother and her Daughter came to this remote community because they can teach children to suppress the phenomena, that someday she'll be able to walk uncovered in the Sun without emitting radiation.
During the conversations between the Mother and Daughter , you find out that the girl is hesitant to suppress the phenomena, that she actually enjoys it and feels drawn to it.
After they are captured, the things their captors say , reference back to the newspaper clippings , letting you know that normal people are capturing the "sun children" and locking them away to protect themselves because the radiation they emit caused society to collapse.
(It's why they are scared, angry, bitter and look impoverished.)
Once they are freed , the "sun girl" and the adults talk , and she tells them that she has decided to embrace the phenomena, her Mother accepts it and says her goodbyes ...and that's when you find out that people who fully embraced the phenomena are called "Elders" and her eyes start to glow.
So the sun does what to them exactly? Explosions? 💥
as short films go... occasionally a critical piece get accidentally chopped during editing... someone please pass me the film cement?
It was interesting, but it was difficult to understand what was happening and why. Perhaps less dialogue and atmospherics in such a short film and more storytelling and pace?
Hey its Booker 👍
I liked it a lot, but I wanted to know more about what it means to be solar-sensitive.
Everyone looks like they just came from The Gap though.

Needs more story info. Great acting tho
tmw, cause you watched too much star trek, "Book!!!!"
Are there other episodes all I can find is the 1st🙄🙄🙄🙄
Jeez! At first, I thought the guy was Idris Elba! LOL! Look a lot a like!
where is DEI ?

eye have a love/hate affair with DUST! love the stories dislike the endings immensely ie WTF😳 🙏🌋🍹🍹☮️
how come they need shotguns to find her? but previously they were wondering about unarmed and unworried.
As interesting as this short video was, it left me unsatisfied with the ending.
/D
There is no story here. Good acting, well shot, but no story.
Boring and incomprehensible.
Inconclusive, she just have glowing eyes. No story whatever.
Sure there is. People like her absorb the power of the sun, and that shows in their eyes. That frightens people because they see the energy as either something to capture or harness, or destroyed out of fear. It depends if its viewed from science, or religious nut jobs.

Too much was left to interpretation. I followed the plot just fine, there just wasn't much plot in the video.
Great acting but poor FX and poor story. Well directed
Please release direct to RUclips itself instead of 'Dust' with all their poxy watermarking and merchandising fades. Dust = skip to someone else's film
First.
Mmm,a very deep,meaningful and intellectual review of the film.
Too boring to finish.
Nope.
I really like the actors so I was even more disappointed with this rubbish
How incredibly disappointing. I am genuinely shocked at how pointless this was.
David Ajala 😆 i guess that star trek discovery money was running out
