Hello everyone, I'm Carleton and I'm the writer and director of Transmission. I'm really excited with the opportunity to be able to share the film with you all through DUST. I'm here to answer any questions you have about the film and look forward to hearing your thoughts on it. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy!
Pretty cool short movie, thanks for sharing! Loved the accents and good acting. How did you get the aliens to agree with taking part in this project? 😊😉
I'm 62 and I started reading Science Fiction short stories in Arthur C. Clark and Issac Asimov anthologies when I was was 12. I was always impressed with the short story SiFi format. It takes a great deal of talent to tell a compelling story with very abstract elements in a very brief narrative. You, my friend, are a credit to the genre.
I'm 73 and have read scifi all of my life and I'm with you. Can't get enough of it. Great video. Try reading the John Varney anthology for short stories.
61 myself. Started reading sci/fi at about 8 or so. Loved Clark, Asimov, Bradbury, Bova, Ellison, Heinlein, and so many more. Believe it or not I learned more from them than all my school teachers.
Also of the same generation @ 60....read most of the popular authors that have been mentioned....but I also would find jewels in "campy pulp science fiction" unknown non mainstream....some were actually so bad they were funny
Dad of three boys here, and I will be showing this short to them. Well done and brings me back to when I was a boy playing games with my little brother. Yeah, I got pretty pissed off at him from time to time, but he was and is always my brother.
That's exactly why I made the film Brent, me and my brother did exactly the same when we were younger! I hope your boys enjoy the movie and thanks for the comment!
Wow, I have to say, this was brilliant. The musical score was incredibly powerful, the story was a gut punch, very emotional. Literally made me cry. 10/10
Great short about the complex bond of brothers.. I have a 17yr old son Alex and a 12yr old son Gabe who loves his older brother dearly and looks up to him, but my oldest Alex is a good son, but has been distant with Gabe and Gabe has struggled with it over the last 4 years as Alex has been growing up and becomming a teenager.. I hope they both find out just how much they will need each other as they both get older just as these two brothers have realized they love, believe and will need each other! Thank you for this short and still reminding me to have faith that they will find a way to connect and grow closer! 😃
What a lovely short film, emotive, heartwarming, atmoshpheric and extremely well and cleverly directed giving it an epic film like quality. A very good choice of music to and subtle use of cheap but very effective special effects. There is some real talent here......
Very nicely done and enjoyable. I've been a Science Fiction fan all my life. I turned 70 in February of this year. Dust is an excellent showcase. Thanks.
Wonderful!!! 🎉 I will be enchanted to watch your short stories every time you have one out! Thank you so much, and this one will be watched over several times. Shirl K - Texas
Absolutely wonderful! The very best a sci fi short story/ film could offer! A full and beautiful story told in 15 minutes. Acted, shot, and edited beautifully too. Well,well done!
BRAVO Carleton! I actually clapped. It's no easy task to jerk a tear or trigger some deep meaningful emotion within 15 minutes. Incredible! Typically you need a little time to get truly invested in the characters but you absolutely nailed it. I felt Johns pain and perseverance. Your average viewer usually doesn't get that, and why would they? But I've done the work. You must be about my age. I'm 47 and I have to say I was transported back to one of the best eras for film. I absolutely loved it. You had an exceptional cast, the writing and the work were superb. To think I took a job with a bum streamer. I just knew this was the work I should've been doing. Be Proud. I'll be following you on IG.
You knocked it out of the park !!! Excellent shorty. The boys did a great job. Just the right amount of science, fiction, emotion, brotherly love and parents being parents. Looking forward to more of your work.
. Well, Carleton, you better follow up with more info on the WHY they were "borrowed" And the role of that man. And the reasoning why the abductions/returns always take place near a body of water. Cute family, even the local coppers were good 😁💖 .
I can't say me and my brother were super close growing up but this was very emotional for me having lost my brother who passed away about 7 years ago. Wonderful film, thank you for sharing it with us. 👏
Well Carlton! Great little story. I imagine it’s tough to build an emotional bond with Characters in a short timeframe but it looks like you did a good job 👏. Thanks 🙏 enjoyed it.
Overwhelming an Outstanding Piece of Art. Touched my Heart and soul, keep Up Making Short Story's Like this an Believe me you will Succeed as a Writer in Life!.......

Incredible short! Would love to see your hand at full length! This one captured my emotions! If only all the things we regret could be undone! Well done!
Nah…it’s being a kid that makes a story like this special. It’s like asking to see a grown up version of The Goonies, Explorers, The Monster Squad. Same reason why It chapter 2 didn’t hit as well as chapter 1. Just my opinion though.
This was absolutely amazing, I've loved sci-fi since I was a small child & now I'm 56 years old & I'm always amazed how these type of stories can scare me but at the same time make me feel more human & alive all at the same time so Thank you for making feel.. 💜💯
A beautifully-crafted film-very much enjoyed! In my experience, it’s rare for a writer-director to pull off a good film, they’re either too much of one and not enough of the other, or not enough for both at once. You did yourself proud Carleton-well done!
That was great! It could have been a full movie and I would have bought it. Stories like these are short but they make a long impression.... Good Job 👍!!
Carleton! Muy buen trabajo! Bien guión! Bien ambientado y dirigido! Gracias! Es bueno ver un corto de vez en cuando sin que sea solo un piloto más! Gracias por la fantasía!

amazing sir ..i loved it ,,i m also very intrested to make sci films ,,,such a good film ,,take it more further like hollywood style
An amazing production, hard work pays off!
Great job. It's proof that you can make a good film without the necessity of foul language, etc.
Thumps up for the actors. Music a bit to loud here and there for my taste - reminded me of video game. Good Job.

Also 60 and have read sci-fi since I was 8 or so, and totally agree! The age of the short story is still alive here!
This is pure escapism. Refreshing. Not a post collapse nightmare.

I definitely want the I-told-you-so scene that kid so desperately deserves to have with his parents
Seeing and interacting with THEM, is still the dream.
Certified Gold!!!!!
Great film, A complete story start to finish in 15 minutes. It's too bad big-budget Productions can't accomplish what you did. Bravo!
Wow, I have to say, this was brilliant. The musical score was incredibly powerful, the story was a gut punch, very emotional. Literally made me cry. 10/10
Excellent! Loved the character of Quinn. I think I went to high school with him..... 🤣
Thanks Carleton, very well done! The casting, the writing, and the filming were all top notch.
Hi Carleton, I second Rich Hastings appraisal. Really great stuff... Look forward to the next installment.
Thanks Rich!
@@MyDistortedWorld thank you!
It is amazing how much emotion can be evoked in such a small film! Great job and thank you!!
ABSOLUTE GREATNESS!
Thank you!
Such great feelings with that ending. Well done to all on this project. Loved it.
thank you Tim!

Finally, an actual Dust video with an actual ending, and a happy one at that/
FINALLY !!! :)
Great Short.... Finally one with an ending that didnt leave us hanging.!
I would be lying if I say I wasn't crying when the two brothers reunited! Great film!
What a lovely short film, emotive, heartwarming, atmoshpheric and extremely well and cleverly directed giving it an epic film like quality. A very good choice of music to and subtle use of cheap but very effective special effects. There is some real talent here......
This is surprisingly good acting. Usually shorts like this have not that great of actors.
Wonderful short film. Great all of them. ✨🛸✨
Such a great short, all the way through. Really enjoyed the story, the characters, the acting and the visuals. Keep up the good work 👏
Thank you for the gift of this wonderful film!
The love between siblings.
Very nicely done and enjoyable. I've been a Science Fiction fan all my life. I turned 70 in February of this year. Dust is an excellent showcase. Thanks.
I was moved to tears. What a gem. Well done, you. Thank you for this.
Thank you so much for sharing your view on the film!
I love a good film with an ending. Keep it up..I really enjoyed this. He believed the 'stranger' & didn't give up on finding his brother ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
One of your very best Dust !! That was fantastic to watch ! Thank you ! 9.5 out of10
Can you please explain what was worth to cut 0.5 points? May be next time they pay enough attention to fix to get 10 sharp :D
Wonderful!!! 🎉 I will be enchanted to watch your short stories every time you have one out! Thank you so much, and this one will be watched over several times. Shirl K - Texas
This was sinister, intrigue and calming all in one.
Thanks James!
Heart warming 👍😊

Great to see such quality sci fi from Northern Ireland! Really well done by everyone involved.
first time I have cried so much over a short film on DUST T_T love the ending. wow one of the best of many.
One of the best Dust films I've watched, absolutely superb, great actors, fab story, superb effects! Thank you!
Et abduction version! So well done!
You knocked it out of the park !!! Excellent shorty. The boys did a great job. Just the right amount of science, fiction, emotion, brotherly love and parents being parents. Looking forward to more of your work.
I would have been grateful when I was that age.
This was NICE. Especially that Brotherly Love.
Wourdeful....just wourdeful💗

Well, Carleton, you better follow up with more info on the WHY they were "borrowed"
And the role of that man. And the reasoning why the abductions/returns always take place near a body of water.

Got something in my eye
Really good. Thank you
Felt like an entire movie 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
Excellent film! Nice story, great visual effects! Loved it!
Great film, really special!
If Carlsberg made a SciFi Short
It would look just like this one....
Very Well Done Carleton !
Thank you!
Okay, this totally had a, "Close Encounter of thr 3rd kind", vibe. Spielberg better look out! 👀 ❤️
FINALLY, one that I actually understood, lol. Beautifully done! Loved it.
Those are some long-lasting batteries for those Walkie-Talkies.
1 minute in: stop playing with your food literally being equivalent to "stop mocking a bite". I already like this. 😄
Thank you for the ... beautiful vid 😍
Well Carlton!
Great little story. I imagine it’s tough to build an emotional bond with Characters in a short timeframe but it looks like you did a good job 👏. Thanks 🙏 enjoyed it.
Thanks. Great short.
This is the 2nd Irish Sci Fi film I watched tonight. Really like it too. Thanks.

Good film. Loved it.
Reminds me of twilight zone outerlimits
That was fun.
This was good ! I'm so grateful I could understand it!
Left a smile on my face! Well done folks!
Thanks John!
A kid in a flying saucer and a kid from the world he's visiting go for a ride and mostly back to where they started. Nice...
I enjoyed that. Thank you
Excellent story! I enjoyed it very much!
Incredible short! Would love to see your hand at full length! This one captured my emotions! If only all the things we regret could be undone! Well done!
back then the young people were very different than now
Excellent film. Well done to everyone involved. Great story.
That was SO GOOD.
I’m crying.
Show Spielberg. At once.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the film! Hopefully Mr Spielberg is a DUST subscriber! 😉
Thank you Dust and Carlton....keep up the good work....todays sci-fi is tomarrows possibility
7:55 tearjerker 😭
Sequel please!!!!
How about when the boys grow up and join some kind of military space program in an effort to follow the UFOs!!!
I second that!
Nah…it’s being a kid that makes a story like this special. It’s like asking to see a grown up version of The Goonies, Explorers, The Monster Squad.
Same reason why It chapter 2 didn’t hit as well as chapter 1. Just my opinion though.
Masterpiece!

well"" what a super little gem that was, MINT" CHEERS.
This waS very enjoyable. BRAVO!
Bravo 👏🏻 to the two boys in this 📽️
There acting was superb!!!!
That was great! It could have been a full movie and I would have bought it. Stories like these are short but they make a long impression.... Good Job 👍!!
WELL THAT WAS A GOOD ONE!!
Excellent piece of work. Great job all around.
Carleton! Muy buen trabajo! Bien guión! Bien ambientado y dirigido! Gracias! Es bueno ver un corto de vez en cuando sin que sea solo un piloto más! Gracias por la fantasía!
Gracias Daniel! I really appreciate your kind words!
Oh my, this was amazing. 15 minutes of sheer awesome.
Love it. It had a "Spielberg" feel to it.
Excellent animation. The UFO looked so real 👏
Great story and acting. Really felt the feelings between the boys. Thank you.
I really enjoyed this!
Very well done, lovely short.
Brilliant short film. This could be translated to a feature film. I really enjoyed it. Shame about the bitcoin Bots in your comments.
Thank you! I would love to make it a feature!
@@Quickened1 look in the directors comments. See the thread.
@@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling bots have mass spammed several of the different channels today, weird
@@sbaker3426 sad, some soft people will lose their pension through it because they see pound symbols. Just grates with me. I really hate scammers.
Cool short story I really enjoyed it thanks for sharing 🤘🇦🇺🌌
Great Film
This was awesome and fantastic
