Incredible manipulation of audience expectations. Bravo on a tight short that tells a complete story while leaving enough holes to keep you thinking for days.
I feel like the ambiguity makes it so good and what it is. Somehow I feel that telling us the rest would somehow take something away from it, rather than add.
I just came here now after watching Danny and Michael Philippou from RackaRacka talk with George Miller; then Danny mentioning that he loved Aaron McLisky's cinematography from this particular short film, and thus asked him to shoot Talk To Me! I would never discovered this otherwise and what a fantastic short film it is. It's still sitting in my brain and I can't stop thinking about it.
Damn, okay, I think I understand what happened: There was a car crash involving an escaped cattle with a family that were likely moving or something. Then, some rockers in the van came across the car wreckage and did their best to save everyone involved. They contacted the nearby farmers to get some help who are seen probably contacting an ambulance and pulling out a guy who was in the front of the car and thought to be dead by the farmer. there's another person who's in extreme condition but still alive and that's the focus of the rocker groups attention. there's also the two children who likely came across the scene later on and stayed there in shock. And then, there's the baby who seems to have a head injury and is crying but is being comforted by the girl in her jacket which is why the guy is singing old macdonald
mia mackenzie agreed except i reckon the guy who is singing gave the little girl his jacket. Thats why he is shirtless. Love this short. Stunning reveals
I tought that the rockers were the ones who crash with the van, and they felt so bad about that, that’s why the girl was crying and the shirtless boy was almost in shock.
I was expecting the farmer to be some twisted maniac ready to kill shirtless metalhead after having put him through a series of tortures. Why do I always assume the worst of farmers.
the little girls parent is unconscious. the rock van pulled over to save them and then the farmers showed up to pull someone else out. guy is singing to keep the little girl from crying about what just happened. unbelievable!
@@pinkgiraffe720 There is no evidence that there was a car or quadro crash. But maybe some group was walking and the metal heads are only first responders.
I'm thinkin' the white car crashed into the cow... one less moo-moo here, to worry about, ei ei i. (Ah, I see someone below has pointed out the supine bovine.)
Incredible. My first prejudice was that the farmers were crazy, then when they walked past him, I thought the guy was a crazy drug addict. It turns out they were all helping the Asian family. This is how life is - we all constantly have prejudices toward others but are blinded to the reality. It's like life is playing a game with us and hiding important information from us.
Wonderful story telling. Having the shirtless guy go from mad villain to hero in five minutes, and the emotional rollercoaster between was something else!
Brings back horrible memories. We were the first to come up on a three car accident, ironically we had just been pulled over minutes before in a 69 Mustang clocked at 121 backing her down fast so the Trooper assumed we were going much faster. The cars that were scattered across the road were the same ones we had slowed down for. They were a mile a head but we had come out of the woods down to a flat and the road across the flat continued on up a hill into a turn and into the woods where a Trooper was coming from. He threw on his lights and we pulled over halfway across the flat. He was in a hurry, knocked the ticked to 89 so he wouldn't have to arrest someone for accessive speed, wrote the ticket, and was off quicker than it's taken me to type this. We fired up the Engine and drove very casually up the hill. The Black Ford Ranger that we were coming up on wasn't there because he was a bastard. He had cut around the Black 1967 Impala on a blind corner, sending the on coming Bronco II into oncoming traffic. The Broncos and Impala hit head on so hard they essentially locked into each other spun around 180° as one and split apart landing where they each had started. The vision of all of the people will stay with me forever. I won't describe. I will say one person we didn't find has been in the back seat of the Impala. Upon impact with no seat belt, he was launched forward as the rear seat popped up, he hit the front seat and as the cars spun and settled he bounced off the front seat and back under the rear seat which popped back to its original position. We never new he was under their for the 10 hours we comforted the casualties waiting on medivac helicopters. One of our friends stated in the back seat of the Mustang for hours saying the same thing over and over... "That Would Have Been Us".. and if that Trooper hasn't hit his lights, honestly, we would have torn up that hill, around that corner and..... Speed Kills... Race Responsibly... and Drive Safe... There is a Black Ranger out there and I hope he knows what he did and that it haunts him forever..
The father dead the mother struggling to stay alive A Band traveling came across the horrific scene or watch it commence The young man and a young woman band member trying to distract the child so she doesn’t watch her family die horrifically as the rest of the band from the group apply emergency help til someone comes along to help then others. The neighbours realizing it’s a neighbour knowing the dead driver which possible we’re heading to the birthday party .But My first thought was a crazy kid tryed robbing some homesteaders and by scaring the crap outa him and waiting for back up urged the punk to sing his life style til they came prob to kick the crap outa him but wow what a mind blower well done crazy how a person thinks the worst scenarios guess to main bad things in this world to make a person think bad If life was better I think maybe our minds would think differently in this beginning of the film makes me wonder??? Bravo amazing job well done
that should be used as a road safety advert. Spice it up a little bit for effect, but the bleakness of him singing in the chaos of the crash is perfect :)
Sharp eye, I don't think we saw that! Filmmakers noted that it was a difficult shoot due to the storm and they only got to do 4 takes. Fortunately this one worked out!
@@shortoftheweek Actually the lightning is VFX... Clouds are real though. Would have been a stroke of genius to capture lightning in camera in a single shot film!
OMG-this is one of the best Shorts I ever saw. Eerie, mysterious and revels a story that makes you think and in this case makes your blood run cold-accolades to all involved.
And that the metalhead's heart is so kind that he is willing to sing this soft nursery song to keep the baby calm although he is used to singing in metals!😔
Wagner Jacobson - How would that work? It’s a story that I feel only works in the way it played out. We don’t actually know what really happened, and we are left with using what details we were given and drawing our own conclusions. If played out in a feature film, it probably wouldn’t have the same impact at all.
@@sign543 Probably not, I agree with you. The only reason why I wish it became a feature is because it's too good for that lenght. It's like having only one bite of a delicious dessert
Wagner Jacobson - Totally agree. This is how filmmaking should happen. It’s so well done...I was left staring at the screen when it ended, still processing what I’d just seen. That’s when you know it was effective. So well done!
First, I was a little surprised to see a metalhead singing like a crazy man. Then, we can see farmers comming and I was thinking they would hit the man and that was stressful. But, the camera moved with the old man, and then, you realise that there is an accident in the road with a dead cow, a lot of stuff everywhere, a woman who's called maybe 911 and told all about what's happen's, a storm (in 2:44). People who is trying hard to help a woman in a bad shappe. And for the final, possibly the wife of this lonely singing metalhead, begging him to keep singing for their child. This is just...terrifying. But it's a great short.
Yeah, I think that was the coolest part to me. The whole time I was thinking this guy is in shock and doesn't really know what he's doing, but at the last second you realize he and the woman are comforting someone else's baby.
OMG 👏👏👏👏 What a masterpiece OMG 👏👏👏 Wow! The way it moves you thinking that the metalhead was tripping but when his true intentions are revealed wow 👏👏👏
wow the story that becomes clear after seeing the whole take is incredible! you feel like you understand everything and it's incredibly surreal, amazing
I was expecting the farmers to pull the guy singing out of the flipped car and he is actually a ghost standing on the side of the road, stuck singing that song for eternity.
This short made me feel so uneasy. It's often times jump scares and short lived suspense are leaned on for effect. This left me anxious and thoroughly impressed.
Amazing film! Had me on the edge of my seat the entire time! I had thought of many different endings but none of it came close to this one. Very imaginative.
And we all thought the shirtless singing dude is a psychopath serial killer like in every other criminal movies but what the heck.... What an excellent short film!
That was so powerful and so incredibly sad 😢 Fantastic filmmaking; everything from the fact it was shot in a single take, to the twist halfway through it. Wow!
This is one of the best short films I’ve ever seen. Excellent story development and execution, sound design, acting, and the production design is savagely real feeling. I love this short. What an atmosphere.
This movie is so nearly perfect that the only criticism is a tiny technical one: that the thunder sounds too close to the lightning, and that’s a nothing criticism. Everything else is spot on, pacing, scenery, acting, lighting, etc.
Says a hell of a lot about our conditioning. Everyone is suspect until about halfway through the pan. Then, we realize everyone is doing their best to minimize the trauma for everyone else, while living through it themselves. This is empathy exemplified

The “keep singing” really got me; I sort of assumed the shirtless guy was crazy at first; the explanation is so sad and wholesome
I want to see another Pig babe hey
Same.. exactly the same
All it was for the baby! Make her calm.

I knew that I recognized the singing metalhead. He is such an underrated actor
One single shot used to perfection
I dont like the fact it looks like he's shivering like heck out there...

Was this all done in one single shot? Damn thats impressive

Especially when non of this actors are professionals. IMDB knows nothing about them. So film school project i guess.
