Could have used the can of corn to catch some carp. “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
1 never listen to someone on the radio i knew he was walking into a trap or ambush, 2 travel at night under the cover of darkness don't travel during the day unless your fleeing, 3 if you do set up camp stealth camp stay hidden fires give away your position, they are always making the biggest mistakes which makes me wonder how they even survived as long as they did
It's much easier said than done. Traveling at night poses serious risks since visibility is limited, increasing the chances of injury. Moreover, the cold temperatures at night would necessitate a fire to stay warm and safe.
They should have made a screen of some sort around the fire, or extinguished it before sleeping, seeing as how they knew their was a chance of more nutters being around. Also taken turns keeping watch.
I spend an ungodly amount of time watching post apocalyptic short films on RUclips and this is by far my favorite one. Great work, great production and great acting. I'd love to see a part 2.
I know this movie is ficshional....buttttt if it was me I think I would climb a tree at night to sleep and tie my self to the branches so I don't fall out .
Some trees have branches that make like an upside down tripod, and you can sleep in the V of where they join the main trunk. Lots of great trees in that beautiful country.

@@jamessignorelli852 Nutrition matters to me today but i suspect I wouldn't care about nutritional value (nor the "Best Before" dates) at that point, when my stomach felt like a black hole.
These people knew nothing about survival or tactics. When the boy got out of prison he was shaven and the story picks up months later about 4-6 months later by how much his hair had grown out. You would think the character would have learned a few things about survival and living off the land by now and how to approach strangers. I will say the cinematography work looked professional.
Alone with a campfire is a great way to get got. It would be better to dig a small.hole, and build a tiny fire, that you then string up ponchos either around the sides to lessen the signature or poncho on top of you and the fire in short increments to stay vigilant and warmISH, embrace the suck.
Can't hold onto a gun, never looks around, sits by a fire at night like he's on a boy scout feild trip. All on i can of corn and no toilet paper...... Ok flick.
wow! how did this pass by me? easily in my top five of short films and I am the nerd who tries to catch every single post apocalyptic film as they come out. from the acting the clearly thought out directing, the building up plot which had multiple climaxes and many different angles both emotionally and action-wise. the camera work was spectacular, the score was right on cue with every scene. you completely took advantage of every single second of the film with nothing left to waste. there was always something to look back at. which I suppose is why I watched it four times I subscribed after the first viewing and looking forward to checking out what else you have out there. I could go into way more details of the things that I caught on to and enjoyed about the film, but that would be a hell of a long post / comment and I don't think you really need to read a book just to know how good your short film is. I absolutely enjoyed it thank you.
Really good short film. I love the post apocalyptic genre. Beautifully shot and acted. The only thing was that you can tell the lead actor has never used a shovel or dug a hole in his life lol. Who digs a hole like that? Haha. Dude put the tip of the shovel on the ground, hold the shovel straight up and down or slightly tilted towards, and use your foot and body weight to drive the shovel into the ground, don't waste all your energy slamming the shovel into the ground repeatedly only using arm strength barely getting any penetration. Work smarter not harder brother
did i miss something?didnt he hear follow the red arrows/signs via radio?wich he did and came to the car.theres a can of corn in the glovebox.the ones he heard would probably the ones who put it in there.right?so why so many disbeliefs about the can of corn?they put it there.he told them via radio,that he is running low on supplies
Hunting aint no fun unless you gotta hunt. 😂😊 The way good ok boy flipped that shell out of that shotgun when the back truck caught up to them when they got picked up by sis....hot😊
A fantastic effort making this short film, the emmotions and the plot ran sweetly together, shame they never set a sentry on the night scene, but thats life huh. 10/10
I never claim to be a survivalist, but gosh! Common sense would tell you to have someone be on watch, instead of everybody all comfy, like they're chilling in a living room.
A great post apocalyptic read is the ,"World made by hand" series by James Howard Kunstler. Its a four book series, not your typical apocalypse story, one with a little hope for what remains.
Damn his boy went out like a soldier!!! Gun blazing !sadly his house is in the exact same condition as the day he left it!!! Man's little sloppy! I wouldn't want to be stuck with this dude he very negative person!!
In a SHTF situation stay in defendable location, band together with friends/relatives/neighbors. Your priorities are water, food, shelter. If you absolutely must strike out then travel at night and stay low profile in the day. Your personal carrying capacity is limited to what you can lug with you, food water, tent, maybe a pistol and small amount of ammunition. Avoid fights of any kind. Pumped gasoline no longer exists so tooling around in a bright red Dodge Ram on infinite fuel and having firefights with assault rifles spraying away on full auto is just about the most ludicrously unrealistic thing imaginable. Here's a tip to gun nuts : your toys aren't going to save you.
Maybe for amateur gun owners but people with skill and self control understand the dynamics involved and the limitations. You choose your weapons accordingly.
Extremely well-filmed and acted. However the audio track is so muddy I wished for subtitles. I gave up counting the multiple continuity problems after 8 minutes.: It's a beautiful autumn day with red and orange fall foliage at 2:20 bridge crossing. At 2:49 actor appears clean shaven. At 3:30 he has a beard. By 6:15 he has a full beard. Next scene at 7:02 it is verdant summer in the woods. Lead actors beard is much fuller in second segment (following red arrows) than the preceeding campfire scene.The psyco-butcher cannibal scene has been overdone in 100's of post-apocalypse genre films. Good character development for the lead charctor "Joseph". Scene at 35:30 elevates this film from amaturish to thought-provoking and emotionally powerful. What is there when all hope is lost? All in all, a sucessful film effort with the sound-track being the primary critique. I think everyone involved on this project did an exceptionally competent job. Thank you!
This was worth watching. Lead actor was excellent. The rest of the cast, not so much. Audio, cinematography, lighting all good. Story had a couple holes in it but kept my attention. House at the end was a bit too run down compared to the apparent timeline. Everyone's teeth were too white. No men would have been clean shaven. Nobody would have been overweight. Music was excellent.
@@StrongCore.Productions I've got 3 episodes up, but I think it's time with the experience I have now to attempt and try to put something big together but the cinematography on this is dope.
His .45 is fk'd but the rifle is nice (despite the fact the bottom of the mag is missing...well...at least you got one shot)! I could not imagine rucking through the world with a .50cal ammo can banging into my ass at every step I take--bro, redistribute the ammo as high as you can in your backpack (towards the center of your back if you can) and loose the can. GREAT VID! Thanks for creating and posting it.
Appreciate that and I know the bottom of the mag fell out halfway through filming! Surprised you are the first to point it out lol! Thanks for the the feedback!
Animal runs into the road, or someone topples a tree trunk too close to stop in time, front tire blows or gets shot out...anything could send you thru the windshield. Seatbelts are meant to save you, even in post apocalyptic times.

Could have used the can of corn to catch some carp. “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
Sell a man a fish and a man knows where he can buy a fish.

Wrong, teach a man to fish and he'll sit by a body of water and get drunk
@@charlespeterson778 - Not necessarily, that depends on the whose doing the fishing.🤔

No one puts a can of corn in the glovebox of A Lexus. That's where the jar of Grey Poupon goes.
Why should someone put up red arrows? Don´t trust this! Reminds me of the Terminus community in Walking Dead luring people to them.
Hahaha yes never trust em!! Damn cannibals!
Exactly what I was thinking
The last scene...WOW! The portrayal of sheer raw human emotion was as good as anything I've seen. Superb acting right there.
Thank you! I’ll let em know!
Agreed. House scene for me. Unable to leave the room and unable to accept the utter helplessness and unfairness. Brilliant work.

Who leaves their weapons in the vehicle after it breaks down and just walks away without them . Oh and get off the damn road .

Plus he puts bright white gauze on his rifle and has it hanging off his pack in a ridiculous way.

Bought corn has no nutritional value

Who carries around a can of corn in the glove box of a Lexus?
