7 Award Winning Sci-Fi Short Films to Watch

[@80fcollins]

Who need Hollyweird with creators like this...kudos to all involved in these short films, very well done.

[@rljpdx]

when you realize that hollywood movies are based on these short 5-15 minute films you realize just how much fluff hollywood really is. imagine if executives had to sit through two hours of flicks just to decide if it should be made into a feature length production. feature length production. say it one more time.

[@immanutt4442]

Sir ... continue to do what you do how you want to do it and never apologize for your productions - may these short films culminate into something huge propelling you into the limelight

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks so much

[@jezzter4293]

It is difficult to choose a "best movie" from Blake Ridder, they are all so good. Cinematography amazing, acting excellent & the best storylines

[@BlakeRidder]

Thank you :)

[@lauriejoneswilson5925]

So true Jezzter!

[@matthewdenckla6567]

"Psychosis" was a great exercise in storytelling and minimalism! Great work!

[@BlakeRidder]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks

[@paulinefriar6916]

In my humble opinion, all of these short films were very very good on every level.

[@thomasmazanec9704]

Any thoughts of putting your shorts on DUST? They have over 3 million subscribers.

[@BlakeRidder]

Yea. Never been accepted. Tried multiple times

[@TeddyLindsell]

Well I thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. Very well written, directed and edited. Convincing actors and good acting. The sets were well presented, realistic for the theme and not once did I think oh that’s a movie set. In other words plausible. Good work guys .

[@joeyregina1593]

Bro you be making sum badass videos. I can't believe they haven't gotten out there more then they have. Keep up the great work you and your crew been doing. Can't wait to see more new videos from you. Your a beast. Much love.

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks so much Joe

[@xwhitetruthseekerx]

Great work. I love the way they all interlink, like little Easter eggs, linking the films. Well done. 👏

[@thundercloud7850]

I liked every one of these videos, good acting, music, sets and plots. Thanks

[@donkenmuir9504]

You are an artist with a huge amount of talent. Well done. Keep this up

[@wiebkescantick947]

The fourth one, Exclusion Zone, is awesome. It would make a great series.

[@davehales2249]

The sound tracks on both of them is whopper too 👍👍

[@joethurman57]

Cuttlefish has such a wonderful perverse ending!! I love it ;)

[@tpscientificos9753]

Very, very good short videos. Too bad they are so short... they are so good we wish they would be longer

[@BlakeRidder]

😂🙏😊😊

[@markn.7156]

I really enjoyed the dancing with c600 something about it just so interesting and seems like it would feel amazing with the right partner. Physical communication.

[@justcallmejessz3712]

@6:00 This made me laugh harder then it probably should have. Lol

[@joselozada5838]

who is the Vocalist on Psychosis ? searching and not finding who She is , help me please , thx

[@rebeccagrenfell2423]

Blake Ridder Rules... And just gets Better...👌

[@lisanidog8178]

So like Alfred Hitchcock who used to write himself in his films so does Mr. Ridder. Interesting. And it still works well.

[@jessegriffin9]

This is criminally underrated. KZbin is unfair. Guys! If you like sci fi watch these.

[@lisanidog8178]

The bartender reminds me of the one in the tv movie Passengers. He was an android. He said the same thing. Programmed to shine up glasses because that’s what’s expected and this bar tender is just as personable.

[@Tocqueville2023]

Incredible talent! In story, acting and production design!

[@kenlee5509]

1. Psychosis, Excellent. 2. C600 Malfunction, Oh Shit! LOL, Excellent! 3. The Invisible Woman, Huh? Excellent. 4. Exclusion Zone too short (ish) good though. 5. C600 Step back in time, heh, excellent. 6. Cuttlefish, sneaky F'ers, well done. 7. From Above, Dink! all that speed and mass hit their house and went "dink!"? Peas? New sub, keep up the great work!

[@KartsHuseonica]

Oh my goodness. I loved these stories 👍 I'm subscribed and will watch more vids.

[@lisanidog8178]

The invisible woman sent chils down my arms.

[@dannymarron5689]

Fun fact about the actress in C600- shes actually a robot, playing a robot, disguised as another robot.

[@MEGASILVEREAGLE]

cool short videos. i just wish that they were longer.

[@rljpdx]

good dancer. assumed more comments the better. liked that one too.

[@marcosbettishneider4372]

Every film with potential

[@MrSKRZYNIU]

Loved it. Very good sci-fi shorts 👍

[@mystorymenzi7726]

I love your productions and great acting too!!

[@ishan_bbx]

I really appreciate your work! Such an underrated artist you are! Why don't u start making full scale movies? Did u look for sponsors or apply to companies? If u release a full scale movie I'll be the first one to watch it from my place for sure! Much respect! Asian Power!💪💮🔥❤️

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks. I have made two already. Look me up on Amazon prime or Apple TV. Second one is out later this year tho.

[@pauldavey]

OK bit confused with the "Invisible Lady" Who and why did they become invisible? I've watched it twice now and still cant figure it out doh.

[@tjmmcd1]

Outstanding writing, acting, directing, screen sets and brilliant sound editing. "Cuttlefish", in particular, is an excellent example of, ' predictive programming' and reveals that, as with Spielberg, Lucas and many others, Mr. Ridder is revealing the truth via movies. They want people to think and say: "I saw what you're talking about in a sci-fi movie, so it can't possibly be real!" "Movies are only make believe, you idiot!"

[@quantumcomata105]

Most excellent compositions! Best back to back shorts ever

[@BlakeRidder]

Thank you so much

[@davepowell7168]

Ex machina is a superb sci-fi movie .

[@anthonycarabajal7575]

Absolutely amazing

[@davehales2249]

The third installment in this is brilliant too, The invisible woman,and the acting in both of them is really good,a few of them will go into bigger things, Sara Alexander Mark's I think is her,she definitely will see Bigger thing's 👍👍👍

[@RobertReid-my8mc]

Thanks!

Wow. Never had that before on this video. Thanks Rob

as always- great work

[@wgpdesign8994]

anyone know the intro and outro singer? or song name?

[@RMR1]

So when are you going to make "Exclusion Zone" into a full-length feature. That's a movie I'd want to watch. And there aren't many movies I want to watch these days.

[@BlakeRidder]

When I get some funding. Thank you

[@RMR1]

@@BlakeRidder Well, if I win the billion-dollar Powerball drawing tomorrow, I'll be in touch. '-) You certainly don't need me to tell you this, but you are an extraordinarily talented filmmaker. I look forward to your next film. Best of luck to you.

[@michaelwargo5702]

Good stuff ...thank you

[@zixzo874]

The invisible woman's body didn't create an apparent hole in the water.

3rd one, interesting.

[@immanutt4442]

sequel to Exclusion Zone would be most sweet

[@BlakeRidder]

Yes sir

[@davehales2249]

Just going through this on KZbin The second short on this compilation is absolutely fu,,,,,,ckin brilliant , can't find a title just ridder film's 👍👍👍👍

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks. Just checked. It says C600 in the description and in the timeline. The title appears in her eyes at the start.

[@katastar221]

genius

[@BookOfMormon4GenZ]

At the end of, "The Invisible Woman", I subscribed with all notifications! *By rights, I am not a movie critic* "The Invisible Woman" was kinda cheesy in one place that I remember. Only one. The freakin' story blew my socks off! An interdimensional-murder-mystery!!! Off I go to "Exclusion Zone".

[@BlakeRidder]

Thank you

I think i know which one you meant 😊 I stumbled upkn this channel by mistake. Good job @BlakeRidder. Subscribed

[@commonworldz]

What type awards???

[@trig6712]

Strange but good

[@rljpdx]

i enjoyed that first one. now lets watch the rest. do you want single comments or one big one?

[@gargoyle38]

Terrific production, first rate, but the storylines all leave me a little cold

[@BlakeRidder]

Sorry about that. Will try better next time.

[@gargoyle38]

@@BlakeRidder oh your work is so cool; just me, the day, the mood maybe. Don't imagine for a second your vast creative efforts do not stand for themselves.

Anyone know the music artist? I like that song.

[@superdude1759]

These are not award winning films! All of the actors, directors and producers just "high fived" each other and said "great job!"

[@lostcat9lives322]

Yep

[@tims9434]

I think you've missed the point there. Have you actually watched the films?

[@superdude1759]

​@@tims9434 Ok, I had to go back and check! I watched the first two and I liked those. I didn't like the third, I found the story morose and unappealing so I watched about a third of that then exited out. I saw the fourth in which most of it was dialogue about what was happening instead of acting it out. I started the fifth then gave up, because that was unappealing as well. You are perhaps correct, I may have missed the point. What was the point? I just didn't see any of these film shorts that I viewed meriting an award!

[@superdude1759]

​@@tims9434 Oh, also did you like the films and if so what appealed to you. Perhaps my expectations were unrealistic due to being primed by the title of "award winning." Either way I enjoyed the first two!

[@donnaduhamel6004]

Pretty good scary.....😮❤

[@jamesbeemer7855]

Psychosis . Ends in suicide .

[@ChthonianRealm]

First one - ripped off a line from Passengers, Priceless! 2nd one - "Android" not Robot! 3rd one - NO "blood" in the pool. 4th one - improper use of hazmat gear. 5th one - Android not Robot, lousy fight scene! 6th one - too predictable. 7th one - those poor abused peas, I am calling the SPVC (Society for the Prevention of Vegetable Cruelty!)

Couldn't keep my interest up, the crappy music in them put me off, thumbs up for the vids, but your choice of either OLD time or .........music is disappointing, scifi and old time music don't go together!

[@OldManPaxusYT]

i REALLY hope the others are better than the first one!!!...or i am going to be VERY ANGRY at having wasted 1½ hours of my life + the title 🤬 '..award winning..' ?! 😡

[@OldManPaxusYT]

Ugh... after the 2nd one, i'm out. Perhaps if you'd entitled this collection as 'cool or interesting stories' i may have even enjoyed them but _'Award Winning Sci-Fi Short Films'_ got my expectations way too high, expecting space battles, aliens, alien worlds, exploration, space ships etc... Not this!

[@BlakeRidder]

It would have been. If I had the money 😒

[@michaelwargo5702]

These are really good , acting, quality, and story , all excellent . Enjoyed these very much ...thank you

[@OldManPaxusYT]

@@BlakeRidder Hola, wow, not used to ppl with 90k+ subs replying! - Since i don't know ur role in these shorts, i don't know what u mean?....How could more money make them more engaging or have pace battles, aliens, alien worlds, exploration, space ships etc?... Did you _produce_ all of the shorts?....or are u saying u can't afford _not_ to use click-bait titles? ^ Serious question (not mocking - i know how YT works and totally feel for u...monetization isn't what it once was...it's YT's fault).

[@BlakeRidder]

@@OldManPaxusYT yes. These are my films. I wrote them. Directed them and shot them. All the credits are in the end of each movie if you want to know my role and others role. It requires money to create those worlds. You’d need spent money in costumes. Set design. Actors. Etc.
