Yo that shot with the spider trapped in the glass was incredible!
Man, to state the obvious this was absolutely amazing for an independent film, great camera work, framing, acting, story - but more than anything I just love how you and the team took the initiative to go out and make this. Super inspiring to see people coming together for the sake of creating something unique, well done
Sam, thank you so much! This comment means a hell of a lot coming from you. We're really proud of the flick, and hearing stuff like this truly motivates us to make more and more. Love you. Stay creamy.
@@ZachRamelan awesome film have you used the fx6 yet
Holy hell man. I really don't know what to say. I can't believe you did this in 3 days and on an $8k budget. This is one of the best short films I've ever seen.
Zach. You’re ambitious, humble and the most encouraging person around that I know. This is amazing you pulled this off so effortlessly. Well done.
Thank you so much Mark, it means the world coming from you. Thanks for being such a wonderful mentor duder.
I love that your BTS videos did not reveal any major plot points and I could enjoy this film and its twists so much!!
I had the privilege of watching this a few months ago and it’s absolutely amazing what Zach and the crew was able to do. A beautifully shot film and a great story and plot. Kudos!
Derek, thank you so much brother. Its an honor hearing that from ya. Can't wait to collab together soon!
This was incredible bro, great balance of dialogue to the silent moments throughout, i was completely into this story, and the twist was so perfect. Loved the camera angles, the choice of day to shoot on, the beats were like boom, boom, boom... it's inspiring stuff! I'm taking a break from writing my story, and after watching your Batman short film, I figured I'd see what else ya got, man am I glad to have come back! Let's see what else to watch!!!!
A real twist at the end. Didn't see that coming. Even when it crossed my mind the two chasing her might be her parents, I still didn't expect she was herself the AI, a robot. From the early part, she didn't seem to know she wasn't a real person. A very well done film and a great story. Enjoyed watching.
Oh... Thank you for the spoilers! Next time you could use something like this:
SPOILERS AHEAD
Moron.
The plot is still unclear to me. Why there was blockout? Why the parents attacked her? Why they were in masks?
Holy schmoly. I was completely caught off guard by the twist. Brilliant short film.
YEAH!!!!!! Thanks!
Wow! This is superb. Way beyond the quality of many big budget films.
I can hardly wait to see what you get up to in the future.
Zach, people like you are why I am so optimistic about the human race.
Wow it is like short film version of M3gan. Congrats Zach it is a very good job. You’re on your way to direct full feature film on hollywood👏👏
Oh I can see the Amira in this footage. That's perfect! Nice film
Unoriginal film ❤❤❤❤❤ worth the wait loved it watching again nd again
So wonderfull and totally professional work!
✨️Fantastic & great ending✨️ 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Such great storytelling! Thank you for the interview, we are thrilled to have this on Film Shortage!
So incredible!!!!! Amazing storytelling, visuals, audio and acting. So impressed watching this 😱
Fantastic!!! wow
Thanks Joshua!
Yep. Superb filming, sound, and acting. Bravo, MORE!
The direction is amazing. The use of colors and angles are all setting the right mood.
Thank you so much! That was the beautiful collaboration with Mr Pilecki and Alter Ego!
Finest Short movie with great cinematography , background music and pacing was on point.
YES thank you! That goes to Nik Pilecki and Chromosomes Music! They crushed it!
Great short film! wow!
Why 635 days? I'm not smart enough to crack that one yet
In Nigeria, we say 'ómò!!!' meaning 'wow!!!'. This is just... Wow. Great work. The BTS made me appreciate this even more. I really would love to read the script. Great work.
Can't wait to see you in Hollywood ❤
It's been a while I have seen this kind of CONTENT on RUclips especially in Filmmaking. I mean story, shooting, colors, acting and music all are just so much refreshing. I was thinking a few days back, about what is happening with youtube filmmakers, why no one is releasing something new, something unique, and here is a Zach with this banger.😍
That means the world thank you 🙏
The team behind this was insane
I can't believe what I have just seen!! This is insane!
Wow what a film. Zack and the team big congratulation.
Thank you so much!
Wow! Great job, Zach!
Thanks!
Awesome!! Well done!
amazing and inspiring job! Great work! cant wait to see what you do next
This is awesome!
OMG this is one of the best short films I’ve ever watched
Great man, watched the BTS about a week ago, was good to see the finished product :)
Great work! This plus the behind the scenes video makes me want to go film. Thanks for being a beacon of the indie film community and good luck on your next project!
Hi Zach! It's a great short! Is there any way to contact you?
Wow, this was an awesome short film. Great job director and crew! Bravo! Looking forward to more to come!
I really loved the story,acting and overall look and feel of the movie.Really well done.
holy moly, I expected much, a lot actually, but this was so much more than I expected!
YAY SO GOOOOD OF COURSE
THANKS!
Love it! Great job from everyone involved. Ya'll knocked it outta the park.
Wow!! Amazing short film! Loved it! Feels like it’s a shorter version that could easily be an episode of Black Mirror. Jacquie was awesome too! Bravo!👏👏👏👏
OMG! It's so amazing!😍love it!
Thank you! 😄 Love you!
Also, this is what sci-fi is supposed to be, IMHO: humans grappling with the future.
We've been warned . . . repeatedly! 💫💫💫 Dynamite soundtrack! 🎶
I was waiting on this ..the build up was real
You are doing a great job in the direction and editing field. It felt very inspiring while watching the film do more film like this and with tutorial 🔥❤️
super inspiring! the work here is insange, the quality is very professional. thiscis very uniau
Damn, Zach - Got the plot twist. Awesome production and story !!
This is pretty impressive! Amazing work!
Absolutley blown away. Wow.
AWSOME!
unreal work!
Ya, cinematography could be better but… what can you do.
Jkjk Nik Pilecki is the GOAT
This is simply awesome. I almost let go my dream of becoming a film maker due to some issues. Seeing you doing such an amazing work at indie level just motivates me to not give up on my dream of becoming a film maker.
Original. Very well done; visually dynamic. Held interest and kept your interest. Intriguing. Thought provoking.
Absolutely love it
Looks great!
Superb short film! Very well executed and great flow. Huge congrats to this incredible teamwork!
Very nice! Felt like something Bradbury would have written. Kudos to you and your team, Zach!
That was so cool. Effects were great, the concept and story so well thought out. The acting and filming were so professional. It was tense and scary. You are so good at this genre. What a wonderful future you have. Congratulations !... L uv grandma.
Thank you so much Grandma, that means the world. My heart is exploding thank you thank you thank you!
I did not get the story. Why there were lackouts, why the parents were dressed in masks, why theypursued her, who had drowned in the pool, who was the person in the mask who was getting up from the pool?
@@AnuclanoI think the main female lead is an AI meant to be a daughter/home companion. The masked person getting out of the pool was the husband, who clementine called dad. I’m guessing they wore masks so they weren’t recognized by the clementine home companion. What was unclear to me was what went wrong exactly, I’m assuming that was alluded to in her early convo when saying her parents were mental and her “moms” blood on the broken glass? The house turned against them? I’d have to watch it again, which is probably what the writer and director wanted? I thought it was clever misdirection. Sure, some of it could be fleshed out more but it’s a short film, a concept, and was well executed imo.
Wow, this was so good Zack (and team). Been waiting for months to see this, and it did not disappoint. I'd like to see a feature of this.
very well done acting and story kept my interest .nice twist i thought her parents were dead .this is main stream fare great film
Thank you so much!
Nice twist! Congratulations to all involved.
Brilliant short and so relevant with current fears around A.I
This is incredible. Great work!
Thanks a lot!
@@ZachRamelan No worries! It was awesome to meet you at the Profusion Expo!
Amazing work Zach + team!
Great. That Had some Mother and Ex Machina vibes
One of the best short films I've ever seen.
Wonderfully paced tention and gorgeous cinematography. Would love to work with you one day!
Wow, thank you!
That was awesome!
Zach, man, this is really really good. Cinematography is immersive and supports the mood. Editing is on point. Sound design is aces. Hope you've submitted this to some festivals. You're on you way, man! (Oh, and that drone shot was perfect ... motivated, unique, and masterful.)
You're amazing Scott. I'm gonna hang this comment on my wall. We got a great festival run out of this - now onto the NEXT
@@ZachRamelan That is great to hear, Zach. I should add that Jacquie was superb as well. Filmmakers often do their films a disservice by casting a significant other, but Jacquie's performance elevated the film. She's got that ineffable quality that great actors have. I hope you two collaborate again.
Great video. Super acting and a wild story line. Hope to see more from your group!
Lots to come Don!
Wow!
Zach and everyone involved you did a truly amazing job.
Love the twist at the end! No lie everything about this I really liked. It easily stands up to the best sci fi’s out there, and managing to get that much world building and storytelling in only 14 minutes is amazing. You pulled this off really really well!
Looking foreword to now watching the making ifs, even though we have seen bits over the last few months.
Proud of you Zach, and truly inspired too. 🎉
beautiful, intriguing, stunning- perfect.
Another riveting, captivating and provocative film. Well done. Loved the "Nano" appearance. Cinematography was genius.
You are amazing dude! Long time fan!
This was a really awesome short film. Great production values. That house is amazing. I'd be interested in what your budget breakdown would be to get it to $8000. Above line, below line costs. Seeing as how this is roughly 15 minutes. If you made a feature you'd be at $65K. Not bad. haha Hopefully we will be seeing a feature out of you soon.
Amazing work.
I am gobsmacked! This is spectacular work. Zach, you are moving at the speed of light.❤❤❤
Mind blowing how good this is!!! I NEED MORE 🙌🏼🤩
But for real. Congrats. 🍾 amazing film !
YEAH!!!!!!!! Lots to come! So stoked you liked it dude!
Good twist
Very nice man! I've been following all your videos as you've been creating it. Well worth the wait! Keep creating!
Thanks, Joseph! I really appreciate your support along the journey; hope it helps with your films!
That was awesome! 14 minutes felt like 5, mystery and intrigue throughout, great story telling! and all around well done!
Wowww
Absolutely amazing ❤❤❤
Love everything
Thanks for your continual support Ilan!
It's really cool :) I loved it.
Why are the black bars burnt in? It's weird.
I like editing with them just incase I want to crop out of 235
@@ZachRamelan sure, but the file for upload to RUclips (or anywhere else) should be exported in the intended aspect ratio. Now you exported 2.35 in 16x9 and you got black bars that make the video a small square in the middle on any screen wider than 16x9.
Just my 2 cents... It's a common mistake.
wasnt expecting that ending. good stuff. well done
Really amazing short movie, just loved it
wow 🥰🥰
Zach ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is awesome!! Well done Zach and team!
I agree with her on most issues, and what happened to her is truly both Kafkaesque and Orwellian. I do however believe that all discussions of religion and faith should be kept off campus. Gender identity is also a form of religion, based only on belief, and has no place in classrooms or in teacher/student interactions. I'm am for keeping all religious and ideological indoctrination off school grounds.
Dear brother, just watched this short film i love it .. what a colour grading and some camera angles are super, total output is amazing 😍🙌 love from India ❤️
good twist!
Well, that's about the most intense thing I've experienced since I woke up in the middle of my extraterrestrial anal probing. Now that its over, I'm all questions like, "Why'd Clementine's owners have to go about the whole update process in such a secretive manner? and, "If Clementine is only a sort of android avatar for a wireless at-home lifestyle automation system, how'd she come to have school-going buddies to game with?" and "What was with the gas masks and all that? Is this some kind of post-apocalyptic better-case scenario involving humanity's recovery and adaptation to the new chemically-poisoned planet's atmosphere taking place with the aid of such systems?" and oh, the list goes on and on. I suppose that means you could fairly easily be sitting on the bare bones of a manuscript for a feature-length movie here, huh? I'd watch that! If you somehow managed to weave the same kind of tricksiness into the plot of that, I'd probably watch it more than once.
Here's to you having studios throw large sums of money at you for your forthcoming blockbuster!
WOW, what a comment! Mark, thanks for watching with a detailed lens. You caught every detail we intentionally put in. Most of your questions are to spur a conversation about the film and build excitement for a larger world. This comment is incredible. Thank you.
@@ZachRamelan I had the same series of questions. OK, I get it. They're to be answered at a later date. What we saw was a preamble for something much longer. I've written scripts for a series where I did the same thing: drop in clues and foreshadowing that I still haven't figured out. I think David Lynch wanted to do something like this for the original "Twin Peaks": keep the murder unresolved and let it drive the series from one season to the next.
I did not get the story. Why there were lackouts, why the parents were dressed in masks, why they pursued her, who had drowned in the pool, who was the person in the mask who was getting up from the pool?
@@TimothyMayer13 unfortunately such shorts usually do not ger a continuation. The gas masks (and well-sealed house) probably can be well explained by that the scenario is indeed post-apocalyptic (maybe a dead bird as well), but I did not get the other things, for instance, who got drowned in the pool.
And I see now, initially the father outpowered her and she was floating face down, but then she recovered and killed him.
nice work
Very Nice! Loved this ❤
This was amazing!!!!❤❤❤❤
You're amazing! Thanks a bunch Farts 4 Hearts. I heart you back (for a fart).
For me there is a no: why they wanted to stop her, why the necessity to mask, to many why not explaned. It was much better longer with some explanetion. I belive in self-defence, no matter what and who.
this was amazing to watch, well done.
Holy shit dude this is awesome! It makes me excited to go and start my own projects. This is properly, properly good. Bravo! 👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wooowww this is definitely an amazing short film. Enjoyed every second of it, the shots and the mood that was set was amazing. Very inspiring!!
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
