Excellent, this is the type of movie shorts I like unpredictable , like those times loop shorts but with a twist.

I grew up 100 miles north of Bakersfield. You hit it on the nailhead, my friend. That’s exactly how I felt every time we went down there. Great flea market though. Thanks

[@echobacksound]

Just perfect! I appreciate the high quality

[@davidluck1678]

just seeing the word "Bakersfield" is terrifying enough. I'm out a here

[@YannaCook-jt8rx]

Wow this was wild. Very strange … great film!❤

[@novaphonix8284]

This was a wild ride, in a good way

[@jprules2578]

The only thing that stood out to me was what seemed like a black figure on the hillside in the background when he was calling for Ezra. Death?

[@edaturk7529]

Why isn’t this a FULL LENGTH MOVIE…!!!!!! FCKING BLOODY BRILLIANT!! Every single thing about this film is top quality! From cinematography to storyline to cast! BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!!

[@grantellis2840]

Are you related to the producer, this was crap, some of the worst acting, really b grade garbage.

[@MisterG2323]

Very impressive short. I'm still trying to figure out, though, why they insist on killing themselves. That makes no sense.

[@jobisselle2861]

Great film...full of tension and kept interest till the end ❤

[@CoralineJonesPinkPalace]

Bakersfield, huh?! Must be a creepy arse place because everyone in the comments is getting outta here. 😅 GREAT FILM GUYS. LOVED IT!! Now I've gotta research this town ... Bakersfield. I love your choice in music too. ❤

[@connorkeefe2483]

Yoo that was pretty good

[@aaroncourchene4384]

Note to self. Watch the movie first, then read the (spoiler) comments ☹️!

[@briecee33]

Bakersfield in California?

[@angela3196]

I wanted more!! ❤

[@thomasmcdaniel6264]

I'm assuming it's a form of Retribution from the guy that they had murdered prior.🤔

you now have 367 subscribers! This is pure artistry! 🤎

[@scottmcshannon6821]

so, they both successfully killed the other?

[@doriancarnesi1727]

Brilliant all around!!! I truly wish this was way longer or better yet it for the theater….. loved everything about this short… you guys know exactly what you are doing…. Actors were awesome…..Love to see more movies from you guys ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@000aleph]

Yeah, I always didn't want to go to Bakersfield. Barstow too. But somehow you always end up in those places.

[@MegaJackpinesavage]

Welcome to California!

[@jamiewddsmith-dl9bk]

That’s what happens when you don’t bring water while you are in the desert.

[@annakontiokorpi515]

Brilliant!

[@franksworld9922]

I was born in Bakersfield.

[@maryberry6067]

Pretty good weird.

[@patrickcarleton3924]

1: That's the area where they did M.A.S.H. not Bakersfield. 2: Why drive and park only to walk miles to a spot they could've driven to? 3: No context. Just a premise of a possible hell.

[@charleyrae9581]

Invasion of the Body Snatchers..........all summed up lol

[@nancyedwards9943]

I don’t get it!

[@ElaNEF]

I could be wrong but it looks like a time loop. These 2 are doomed to find their own bodies, then be murdered

[@caroberton]

Did they mortally wound each other in anger and their hell is to continually relive the anger, fear, uncertainty and confusion? That’s my guess.

[@Danksaucey]

This was dogwater. Making a thumbnail with a bunch of fake festivals and names is not gonna save this...man that was bad.

[@RobertCampsall]

@@Danksaucey Each to their own, I guess - but you are definitely in the minority. Unless . . . you like dogwater? Jokes aside, not everyone has the same tastes. I usually like fewer unknowns by the end, but sometimes being left to wonder can be . . very good. But why the fraud accusation, unless you have evidence? Often, those festival tags - and there are a huge number of festivals all over the world, some tiny, some gigantic - and often those tags simply mean they were selected to be shown at that festival, which isn't an award, exactly, but does mean the organizers thought it rose above the average. You come across almost as . . . envious? Butthurt? Why?

[@max-greg]

How they both killed each other?

[@ironpalette]

You've mastered the art of building suspense, keeping the audience on edge the whole time. I aim to create the same effect in my films 'Uninvited', 'Unknown', 'Freak from the River', and 'Coming From The Room'. I recommend checking them out.

FELCHENBELCHEN SLOBBENDONGER!

[@Mechveteran011]

My thoughts exactly lol

[@FabioRuizdesouza]

Um dejavou ?❤❤❤

[@albertchehade9916]

omg....

[@witchofthestorm]

Gotta love the idea of my town being referenced which is creepy enough *Spoiler* . . . . . Went from strange doppelganger to time loop. Still trying to get it honestly but pretty cool.

[@immanutt4442]

Better Than Ezra
