Oh gosh, I would love to! Many people around me have told me to move on, but with the right story, right time, and if Kenzie would be down to return, I would do it in a heartbeat! UNLOCKED has opened so many doors for me (pun intended) and I’m so grateful for it. Let’s say if your comment can get 500 likes I’ll have a real talk with McKenzie and will draft a script! 😁🤫🚪
@MuhtesemJulia Thanks for the positive feedback and the support! ❤️ If I ever see a big resurgence in viewership for this project, I might consider fleshing this out in a feature.
I'm just screaming in my head "WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST CALL THE POLICE?! WHY ARE YOU STILL IN YOUR HOUSE?! WHY DID YOU LOCK YOURSELF IN THE ROOM WHERE YOURE TRAPPED?!"
That’s a good thing! Charlotte didn’t make the safest choices here, and I’m glad you see that. It would be so cool to do a follow-up film that would show her either learning from or repeating her mistakes. Thank you for your comment and support!
Idk who chose the outfits of the actress, but they really managed to build a fashion personality in 12 minutes! I rarely give attention to those details, but her clothes are so well put together, coherent while being aesthetically pleasing, that I felt the need to say it !
Thank you so much! Michael Joseph Smith planned the wardrobe for weeks to help tell the audience a little more about Charlotte without additional runtime or lines. Thank you so much for your support! :)
@@cagehfh I disagree :) She was obviously going or coming from work. Some people love to dress up when they go outside, then to chill in fluffy pajamas when at home. I do that, and the character did the same
@@mariyammauummer1401 It sure is and you’re right, without that unlocked door there would be no story. However, in real life if you leave your door unlocked all day, perhaps it’s a good idea to call a brave friend or the police to enter with you.
I love all of these horror short films for such a weird reason. They all capture such a raw and normal aesthetic, a lot of them are filmed in very humble locations (not in mansions or high quality high budget sets/locations) and it’s aesthetically pleasing to see places and houses that give off a nostalgic feeling for the middle class lifestyle I grew up with, especially night time scenes. Great work!
Yes! There’s a sort of unexplainable magic you can only achieve in a place that’s been lived in and that is in a middle-lower income area. There’s a life to it that’s hard to achieve if one had to create something like that from scratch through production design. Thank you so much for your comment and support! Please look forward to more releases on this channel!
@@MichaelJosephSmithOfficial It’s nice to see someone else who appreciates that kind of vibe. I’ll definitely be following your work to see how you progress, thanks for sharing your creativity with us!
Not knowing can be the scariest thing. And uncertainty is a great builder for suspense. The money is always in the chase, as they say. This short film was a good excercise in just that. Well done!
Thank you for appreciating those! Those were some of my favorite pieces to include. The vest was originally set to be her main costume piece, however, upon arrival McKenzie and I agreed the gray and black shirt fitted the film’s energy better.
Thank you for your support! Yes, I would love to explore this world more and agree that’s there’s more here. I’m working on a few other projects right now, but if the support continues I’ll definitely be considering where to go next with these characters and concepts.
This was very well done, the actress was a natural (both were), and I loved her wardrobe. But can we please not have our protagonists in horror films make every bad choice? Bad, dangerous things can still happen when people make smart choices, and it saves us all from yelling at our screens. 😂
OH MY GOD! I can't even tell how good this was the script acting everything was chef's kiss! I can't believe you are under 1,000 subscribers you deserve a LOT more hats off to you guys!
What a way to start my day!! 🥲 Thank you so much for this kind comment! I’m trying, I’m really trying. I’m so happy to see my work finally entertaining people and causing reactions. I’ll make sure to pass this comment along to the cast and crew!

@@MichaelJosephSmithOfficial I have some great work to catch up with. Yes, please never stop creating art. This particular work, in my humble opinion is not just a horror beauty, but a necessary cautionary tale. For anyone living on their own. For the first or 24th time.
@@HelloXiuXiu I appreciate those kind words! I do think there is some of my own fears baked into the script, and hopefully it may give viewers a little caution when it comes to going into that dark room alone or double checking if they locked the door.
I always must remember to lock my door when I leave my condo as I go on my errands or some strange person might come in. But when you have a doorman that doubles up as a security personnel, then all is good and safer than if you live in a typical apartment building.
Thank you so much for your interest and support! I would love to make that happen! I hope to be able to share something regarding a continuation of the story one day! 🤗
I always love this question! I personally know how I feel about the ending (and the film as a whole), but it’s up to the viewer to have a literal or abstract view. Thank you for your support!
Well, they did watch the whole day (albeit some fast forwarded) and he wasn’t on the footage. It does make one think how he showed up on the footage later…
@@MichaelJosephSmithOfficial For some reason, I thought they watched it from about 1 or 2 minutes after he appeared & went inside. I watched it on my friend's IPhone, so maybe I missed some details. So he is supposed to be supernatural then?
This is insanely horrifying than a whole 2 hour movie ever watched, everything is perfect from acting, script, music, outfits, direction, Hats off you guys and need a part 2 asap. Viewer from India, lots of love & keep making this amazing content ❤️🤌🏽
WOW! Thank you so much for this amazing review! It truly was a wonderful and encouraging way to start my day. I will make sure everyone involved sees this comment. I’m thrilled you enjoyed UNLOCKED as much as you did! I hope to provide news about a sequel and/or new content as soon as possible! ❤️
@@proudmuslim8456 Hi! So, it sounds like the ending really confused you. Totally understandable! I purposefully wasn’t super clear with much to leave it open-ended for viewer interpretation. The best way to simply sum up the ending would be: Charlotte seems to have had a nightmare, and after she realizes this she prepares for her day; only to hear her closet being opened by someone or something! We then see surveillance footage with content that we haven’t seen before. Is that the real footage? Was Lulu hiding something? Was Charlotte dreaming again? That’s for you to decide what you believe most.
She unblocked her ex the previous night accidentally when she was drunk which she took it easy in the morning. She also was careless in locking the door may be due to hangover. But in the evening when she finds the unlocked door everything unfolds because of her trauma. But can anyone explain the footage shown in the end credit?
Thanks for the support on UNLOCKED! The footage found at the end of the film is ambiguous and open-ended on purpose. There is no set answer to what this can mean. Personally, I have my thought on what happens next, but revealing that would spoil the ability for viewers to interpret the meaning and infer what could happen next.
I love this tons but it leaves a lot unanswered imo, like I don’t completely understand the ending or why she couldn’t see him in the security footage. Maybe I’m missing something but cool film
Hello! I’m happy you loved the film! You may find the answers you’re looking for upon a second viewing, or find comfort in the fact that not everything was explicitly solved and leaves room for some audience interpretation.
In my childhood, when me and my mother goes to school (she was teacher), she double checks and ask me repeatedly wheather the front door is locked. I used to laugh because the house was located in a trusted neighborhood and well away from roadways. But seeing this short, Now I know why..
Wow part 2 please… question I’ve went all through the songs you give… the scene with her on the bed… song comes in. “We’re not born to feel the pain x3… How can I dream if I’m never awake. Who is this? Great job.
Hi! Thank you so much for your kind words and support! I truly do hope I am able to give you guys some form of sequel/continuation to this story. The feedback has been so much better than I expected.
well shes dead ,if the land lord didnt erase the recording .the police will watch and catch him .the film is great and the girl has guts so much better than thr typical screaming freak outs that are normal . she did every thing right for her self except a total house search .unless he made a key he was in the place all that time .he had plenty of time to kill her
Thank you so much for your comment and support! Yes, I totally agree and love what McKenzie brought to this character. I’m so glad that the ambiguity and open-endedness of the project has left so many wonderful interpretations and theories. It really inspires me to think about what this story would be if ever were to be expanded.
Hi! Many camera positions and angles were carefully planned to give a voyeuristic feel to the film. The surveillance footage shots were achieved using the highest position possible with a tall tripod. (It also doesn’t hurt that the cinematographer is six feet tall!)
Thank you! It isn’t actually, I have a few more films still public on this challenge; and I have a new film coming out later this year or sometime next year.
you need to put the 350 likes to do part 2 on the man stream in caps , not in a reply i only just saw it . dont make me hnnt you down ...... sorry too many horror flicks under my belt . 350 LIKES FOR PART 2 UNLOCKED
I appreciate the enthusiasm haha! I’m glad you enjoyed the film, and I would love the opportunity to continue this world. If there’s a story that’s right and the timing works out with my team, I would be delighted to do a continuation. There’s so much room to build upon what we’ve already created.
In a Hotel in Tel Aviv I went out for dinner and when I came back the door from my room was open. Fortunately it was everething in its place and nothing was missing... I think.
When I was little may be 7 my father once left the front door opened. Early morning he checked house for an intruder but everything was good but after that incident one morning many appliances were missing😂it was a thief . After that day we lock every single door in our house when we go outside.
@@MichaelJosephSmithOfficial actually he came inside and did his research even he made a key of main entrance . He came back after few days and took many things. Yes no one was hurt. It was my late grandmom who told us about the theif and missing things. It was really scary. We changed main gate and lock also. I still remember his footprints it was a dark rainy day. I became famous in school also after that incident. 😂And I love this movie also.
As a new horror filmmaker, I must say this makes me happy because it means I’m doing my job right haha! But go make sure your doors are locked and go watch a feel-good movie. Thanks for your support!
but he really appear on the footage the girls watched the footage of enter day, why did they missed,unless he entered the apartment previous day orders,kept on hiding in her house, or he really a superbeing, we allbegfor the answer
Hey! Thank you for your support and question! That’s the beautiful ambiguity about the ending… There’s so many possibilities about the truth of Steve’s presence, but you have to decide what answer you believe to be true.
Omg, I'm here in SOCAL, in my midriff tops, on my own in my apartment, trying to get by, maybe start a career in toothbrush commercials and here's this weird guy mixing meat in my room. Geez. The nerve!!
Thank you so much! I appreciate everyone that’s supporting this project, but international fans are extra special to me. Please look forward to new content soon! 🤗
You are the first person to comment that! Team UNLOCKED are big Potterheads, so we were happy to work that small detail into the project. Thank you for your comment and support! 😁⚡️
I watched it carefully and attentively. This may be "a style" or "your style," but there were so many loose ends. I found it very unsatisfying. Is this type of storytelling a thing? Did the production have to be rushed in any way to meet a deadline that contributed to this final edit? Did you have ideas you didn't have time to flesh out?
Hey there! I think some of the dissatisfaction is possibly due to style preference. I do try to fight against spoon feeding my stories, and sometimes can go a little too heavy on the ambiguity. I do love all of my projects and wish they could all be features with sequels and prequels and more characters, but at this point in my career it’s not an option for me. We didn’t rush the production, and my co-director encouraged me not to put the project out until it was ready. We actually did do additional days of reshooting to make the story more cohesive. But yes, I did leave multiple open ends for viewer interpretation. I like to leave my audience thinking after the credits. Thank you for your questions and feedback. I appreciate your support! 😁
@@MichaelJosephSmithOfficial It feels condescending for you to respond to my reply with "I do try to fight against spoon feeding my stories." This is not about that at all. I believe one should be able to make a short film without so much ambiguity and so many loose ends. And for you to characterize that as "I like to leave my audience thinking" seems like you're giving yourself an excuse for a poorly thought out story. I guess this might appeal to teenagers who tend to like jump scares and such, but for the quality of lighting and direction here, your story just doesn't measure up, IMO. Do you have other films you can recommend that are less ambiguous?
@@Veeter99 I definitely did not have any poor intentions with my words, so I apologize if I offended. I simply meant that I often find myself enjoying films where I have to think about multiple aspects and am not on a linear journey with everything clearly presented to me. I love contemplating elements that haven’t been fully expanded upon or things that maintain a level of mystery. However, I completely understand that preferences differ. UNLOCKED is a very simple story, in my opinion, and we didn’t set out to revolutionize the genre or anything. We had no budget and had a story to tell. I do highly recommend my survival film GREEN. It’s my most recent release and is much more straightforward. I would greatly appreciate feedback on that project if you end up viewing it!

I’m thinking that she was way over dressed…
@@cagehfh I disagree :)
She was obviously going or coming from work. Some people love to dress up when they go outside, then to chill in fluffy pajamas when at home. I do that, and the character did the same
ikr they were so pretty
I like the black and white cropped shirt she had on and the vest with the clouds on it 😊
When we get home and see our door unlocked..we don’t enter!!
Totally agree! Let this be a tale of caution.
Bt the series is about unlocked door
@@mariyammauummer1401 It sure is and you’re right, without that unlocked door there would be no story. However, in real life if you leave your door unlocked all day, perhaps it’s a good idea to call a brave friend or the police to enter with you.
Not true I do you just gotta be alert not walk right into it
Okaaaaaay!!!! That part right there!!!!
Don’t forget to lock your doors guys when you leave the house 👍🏽
Couldn’t agree more! It’s a scary world out there. Thanks for your comment and support!

a noisy work of engine of her car too

Not knowing can be the scariest thing. And uncertainty is a great builder for suspense. The money is always in the chase, as they say. This short film was a good excercise in just that. Well done!
Thank you for the support! I agree, some of arts scariest moments come from suspenseful uncertainty.
The purple vest with the clouds was so fucking cute,I also really liked the fox on the table in her room and the cat pillow on her couch

Moral of the Story: Always Locked Your Doors Whenever You Leave The House Because Someone Might Break Into Your Home!
It could happen anytime, anywhere. You never know! 👻🚪🔑

Okay so watching the credits sequence it shows her old roommate walking in, was it paranormal or was it an actual B&E? Had fun watching!

this is why you should always lock your door when you leave the house so stuff like this doesn't happen
That's why you always lock your Apartment Door
The story is even if this girl stops dreaming of this man. She kept running and thats why her mince meat in oil got over cooked ..
Just to change and close the door would be the most irritating🤣
Amazing 😍

I’m so glad that the ambiguity and open-endedness of the project has left so many wonderful interpretations and theories. It really inspires me to think about what this story would be if ever were to be expanded.
Wow so epic horror movie... un fact i loved ㅠㅠ
I’m so happy you enjoyed the film! Thank you for your comment and support! 🤗
@@MichaelJosephSmithOfficial i wish this is movie Netflix series liked
@@ninjaboyranydy That sounds like an absolute dream!! I feel like each character and the overall story can be explored SO MUCH.
The old horror addage: if I don't see it, it's not there...
Definitely a theme throughout much of this film. Thank you for your support!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! I appreciate the support 😁
Where do the producers and directors hide the cameras ?
Hi! Many camera positions and angles were carefully planned to give a voyeuristic feel to the film. The surveillance footage shots were achieved using the highest position possible with a tall tripod. (It also doesn’t hurt that the cinematographer is six feet tall!)
Loved it! 🎥✨ Keep up the amazing work! 🌟 Is this your first film?
Thank you! It isn’t actually, I have a few more films still public on this challenge; and I have a new film coming out later this year or sometime next year.
This video is cool

I appreciate the enthusiasm haha! I’m glad you enjoyed the film, and I would love the opportunity to continue this world. If there’s a story that’s right and the timing works out with my team, I would be delighted to do a continuation. There’s so much room to build upon what we’ve already created.
In a Hotel in Tel Aviv I went out for dinner and when I came back the door from my room was open. Fortunately it was everething in its place and nothing was missing... I think.
She should have locked her door before she left.😲Her door was locked??😞😲Oh No!
That was very good and creepy 🙂🙂🙂
Two things I love to hear about this project! I’m super glad you enjoyed the film, and I greatly appreciate your support 😁😁
That was very enjoyable
I’m happy to hear you enjoyed the film! Thank you for the support and feedback. Please look forward to new content soon!
When I was little may be 7 my father once left the front door opened. Early morning he checked house for an intruder but everything was good but after that incident one morning many appliances were missing😂it was a thief . After that day we lock every single door in our house when we go outside.
Oh my gosh! That’s so scary, and it’s awful that things were stolen. I’m so happy no one was hurt! Thank you for supporting our film! 🤗
@@MichaelJosephSmithOfficial actually he came inside and did his research even he made a key of main entrance . He came back after few days and took many things. Yes no one was hurt. It was my late grandmom who told us about the theif and missing things. It was really scary. We changed main gate and lock also. I still remember his footprints it was a dark rainy day. I became famous in school also after that incident. 😂And I love this movie also.
She's got some real natural beauts
hella scared 😨
As a new horror filmmaker, I must say this makes me happy because it means I’m doing my job right haha! But go make sure your doors are locked and go watch a feel-good movie. Thanks for your support!
but he really appear on the footage the girls watched the footage of enter day, why did they missed,unless he entered the apartment previous day orders,kept on hiding in her house, or he really a superbeing, we allbegfor the answer
Hey! Thank you for your support and question! That’s the beautiful ambiguity about the ending… There’s so many possibilities about the truth of Steve’s presence, but you have to decide what answer you believe to be true.
So was it him so many unanswered questions need a part 2
Thank you for the support and comments! 😊 I would love to see a continuation of this story. There’s so much to still explore here.
Omg, I'm here in SOCAL, in my midriff tops, on my own in my apartment, trying to get by, maybe start a career in toothbrush commercials and here's this weird guy mixing meat in my room. Geez. The nerve!!
Great Job 👍
Thank you for the feedback! I’m happy you enjoyed the film. Look forward to more content soon!
@@MichaelJosephSmithOfficial yore very welcome looking forward to it

Thank you so much! I appreciate everyone that’s supporting this project, but international fans are extra special to me. Please look forward to new content soon! 🤗
5:53 only I noticed the Hogwarts logo on the door 😍
You are the first person to comment that! Team UNLOCKED are big Potterheads, so we were happy to work that small detail into the project. Thank you for your comment and support! 😁⚡️
@@MichaelJosephSmithOfficial Thanks!!❤️
I watched it carefully and attentively. This may be "a style" or "your style," but there were so many loose ends. I found it very unsatisfying. Is this type of storytelling a thing? Did the production have to be rushed in any way to meet a deadline that contributed to this final edit? Did you have ideas you didn't have time to flesh out?
Hey there! I think some of the dissatisfaction is possibly due to style preference. I do try to fight against spoon feeding my stories, and sometimes can go a little too heavy on the ambiguity. I do love all of my projects and wish they could all be features with sequels and prequels and more characters, but at this point in my career it’s not an option for me.
We didn’t rush the production, and my co-director encouraged me not to put the project out until it was ready. We actually did do additional days of reshooting to make the story more cohesive. But yes, I did leave multiple open ends for viewer interpretation. I like to leave my audience thinking after the credits.
Thank you for your questions and feedback. I appreciate your support! 😁
@@MichaelJosephSmithOfficial It feels condescending for you to respond to my reply with "I do try to fight against spoon feeding my stories." This is not about that at all. I believe one should be able to make a short film without so much ambiguity and so many loose ends. And for you to characterize that as "I like to leave my audience thinking" seems like you're giving yourself an excuse for a poorly thought out story. I guess this might appeal to teenagers who tend to like jump scares and such, but for the quality of lighting and direction here, your story just doesn't measure up, IMO. Do you have other films you can recommend that are less ambiguous?
@@Veeter99 I definitely did not have any poor intentions with my words, so I apologize if I offended. I simply meant that I often find myself enjoying films where I have to think about multiple aspects and am not on a linear journey with everything clearly presented to me. I love contemplating elements that haven’t been fully expanded upon or things that maintain a level of mystery. However, I completely understand that preferences differ. UNLOCKED is a very simple story, in my opinion, and we didn’t set out to revolutionize the genre or anything. We had no budget and had a story to tell.
I do highly recommend my survival film GREEN. It’s my most recent release and is much more straightforward. I would greatly appreciate feedback on that project if you end up viewing it!
Sometimes, I forget to lock it.
Thats why you get an apartment that uses key cards
Steve always has a way of creeping back into Charlotte’s life…
