The Mother 👏🏽 Never cried so much in my life and appreciate the time we have left.

[@kittyk.klandasions7008]

The Concept of "The English Teacher Short" Was Mind blowing and SO DEEP!!!!!!!!. Very Very Well Thought Of WHAT AN AMAZINGLY DEEP AND DIFFERENT DYNAMIC

[@h.erencalik]

Wow, emotions packed in a few minutes that 10 full-length Hollywood movies cannot bring.

[@lueysixty-six7300]

I think short films are going to be the way of the future - with everyone getting shorter attention spans with the TikTok effect.

[@sarahsummerlin_4]

This is so, so true

[@lareinalinda3515]

Lmfaoooo 😂😂😂😂 that is absolutely true!!

[@levimerenciano]

I have been watching movies from Alter short movies channel. Days ago I receveid this video as recommendation. From now on I have been addicted to this director (Ridder) and producer (James) and all crew. Congrats for these short movies, which are like cinema classes of filming and screenplay. Your movies say everything just showing patientely parts of photographies (by metaphors, metonyms), also teaching us many lessons. I am subscribed for sure. Perfect work.

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks so much for this really nice message on Christmas Day. Appreciate it.

[@connieh.4689]

And 9 months later, Blake Ridder, came into my feed. September 30, coming down with a cold, I watched many episodes throughout the day... 👍👍👍 subbed

[@Insightful_Inquiries]

Agreed! It was the C600 series that got me hooked. All of the actors are great as well! All displaying a wide range of skills (all good friends I’m sure) God bless you all!

[@MISTERKIC]

"Somewhat ditto"..new subscriber here, 2024! 😊

[@Virgophrenia]

Just found these short films...and just finished watching the first one.......my heart😢❤️Really had me choked up. Awesome job! Now I have to finish the rest😁

[@2Jersey]

Blake Ridder, I don’t know if you’re reading this but your short stories are a MUST SEE!! I LOVED EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!! Jinn made me cry, the spooky Manor House had me sitting on the edge of my seat!! The Father!! They are all so great, I will be rewatching them over & over again!!! EXCELLENT WORK!!!❤❤❤❤

[@linmonash1244]

Did not see that ending coming. Very well done.

[@ToonTimeAdventures230]

I loved all the short movies, but "The Mother" is very close to my heart.😢

[@redhat7777]

I hated it. The mom ruined her daughter life without saying the truth, so selfish

[@fifty9forty3]

"Father" and "Mother" are the most heart wrenching, and "Bad News" with an easy to understand finish is comical.

[@raerubio8925]

I like how some of them cross over and go together

[@L3ialicous]

I just sat here and watched every single bit of this video. You are an amazing writer, an amazing filmmaker, a brilliant story teller. Thank you for making me laugh, cry and pass the time. You rock 🤘🏼 I can't wait to see what else you have planned for the future.

[@BlakeRidder]

Aw thank you so much. Really glad you enjoyed them. I release new films now almost every week on here 😊

[@HeleneOrraggan]

❤❤❤I am totally amazed by the extreme quality of your films. I'm feeling SO lucky to have this opportunity to immerge myself in your so original work. I'm a 60 years old cinephile and I do have viewed a ton of independent author's films. You are already in my top 🎉20 best of the best. Incredible. Thank you for your generous sharings.

[@shesgoneforeverlife]

I love the cameos that Ridder makes in his films. He’s a great actor as well. 😊

[@believeinpeace]

Oh Blake I’m very silly. I didn’t understand the live chat thing until it was over. I love all of your movies. I just want to say, we need more C600. Thank you and everyone in your movies. You are all amazing !!

[@BlakeRidder]

That’s ok. Glad you watched all even though you’ve seen them before.

[@demijour1234]

Well Done and Very Creative. Loved it all!!!! You should put more gag reels at the end. 😁😆😅🤣😂

[@Prof.Tarfeather]

Louie James always in his signature Hawaiian shirts! LMAO 🤣 Even in a simulation as Captain of a starship.

[@dianepurcell9840]

These are good! Acting was enjoyable too. The only bad thing is that I watched one after the other so it's hard when you have the same actors over and over again. I have to 'recover' from one before moving to the other lol.

[@magnetdesignandadver]

These were awesome! The actors are so versatile. The name David gets a bit much though.

[@curiousladyinla]

Enjoying these. As a film student, these are really helpful also. Thank you for sharing the stories :)

[@jamesmorgan1063]

So far all your films have been mind captivating, entertaining and satisfying. I'm confident that you are on your way to becoming an iconic film maker.

[@nolidee4917]

Dude you are so freaking dope, Everyone needs a little Ridder in their life.

[@barbarapearce9738]

Classy beautifully filmed shorts, great actors and locations. The English Teacher then the Mother both made my eyes leaky then I laughed so hard at the last one and then it's bloopers. Impressive!

[@BlakeRidder]

Thank you very much!

[@barbarapearce9738]

Could not take my eyes off these films, great variety and totally immersive, watched them all in one sitting. Brilliant acting by all, fantastic sets and locations. Last one was hilarious even before the bloopers. Thank you for top entertainnent!

[@tmc1372]

Well thanks so much for destroying me. That's a compliment, btw. I didn't expect this. As a person who lost my love tragically, this has brought out every feeling. I didn't know what this film was about. It's rather incredible, and I thank you for exposing the loneliness and loss one experiences, many experience, on their own. You want to scream to heaven and hell till your throat bleeds. But it's not proper and we’re told we must move on. Thx. Bc many of us can't.

[@nainai7466]

I’m so sorry for your loss! 😢

[@sandylotion]

these were fantastic, you are extremely talented in your acting and film career, i've seen you in several films before i realized who you were. i'm thoroughly impressed, hope to continue seeing your films and acting

[@sandylotion]

btw the english teacher knocked me right out of my chair, 10/10

[@raquelveloso2925]

Brilliant mind. I absolutely love all short films, winner or not. Thank you for sharing your talent to the world.

[@brittrm8854]

Wow. These are absolutely amazing. Definitely worth the awards. I really hope Blake goes forward to make some of these as long version movies. There's so much more that can be said to each one. The plots are wonderful, the actors are perfect in their roles, the lighting is done perfectly, the sound trax are great. All around, huge 10 thumbs up. I hope we see more from him

[@bfwetzel]

Mr. Ridder, you are a gifted filmmaker. Congratulations on your success in what I consider the greatest art form in the world.

[@shellyboob4630]

This was beautifully done, well done tto all involved .

[@Prof.Tarfeather]

Oh My! Blake Riddell you are one Marvelous Actor! Every role you play is so convincing you even look different? Just phenominal.

[@evangonzalez2245]

First one felt complete and well-rounded, and whoever is scouting locations has done a fantastic job. Calling these world's best is quite an overreach, the majority definitely need a bit more polish on the writing and acting, but still pretty good for not having a studio size budget.

[@beautifulcayoz2270]

Soooo the last short film had me lol. These were great. First time here and already a fan. Better than some movies and series I have seen. The behind the scene crew, the actors everything was on point for me. I actually got just the right amount of feelings from it too lol. Thank you !!!!

[@tamiweir8041]

These short films are so much better than the others I've watched. These are not low budget. Thank you.

[@joanwallace1373]

Oh my gosh this was excellent, it touched my heart so much! The actors were A+ and should be on the Actors A list. Story was great and very emotional!!! KUDOS, KUDOS!

[@mikedollinger6132]

I will turn 70 this may 10 & i enjoy living alone, however for the last year i have been forgetful & it is very frustrating, embarrassing and scary

[@BlakeRidder]

[@lawsontroya]

The Father was terrific. The actor did a really good job. The director was a pip too... In a Simple Robbery why does Becky let David into the car and why doesn't Becky dump the body in the boot? The Mother was good too. So sad, but good. Keep up the good work Blake! Let's have more!

[@hollydowns2279]

I wish I could re do my time with my mom, i lost so many years, i was inept at seeing the obvious, in spite of taking everything literally! We became great friends after a strict upbringing and a 7 year separation I am so astonished by my mom even now! Beautiful film. Mr. Ridder's careful crafting and slow unfolding is timelessly entertaining

[@kicknsystm]

I enjoyed all of these. Very broad stretch of creativity to make such a variety. Actors did a great job & sold every character.

[@jofan6155]

For Psychosis, I have a strategy, since there's a chance (2%) that he won't commit suicide from Psychosis, he can order the ai to put the gun next to him every time he wakes up, so as to tempt him into suiciding with the fake gun that wipes his memory, and keep repeating that until he reaches that 2% and doesn't kill himself

The English teacher really got be balling

[@Prof.Tarfeather]

The Mother: I feel the letter left by the Mother is cruel and self-serving? Her Daughter is never going to forgive herself? Her Mom popped in unannounced, letting her Daughter assume her Parents were fighting? When Mom's motives were to die there? And create last memories. For who? For her Daughter? Terrible memories of her Mother dead on her Kitchen floor? Of her Mother cleaning her home when she was dying? Of her Mother making a dish of noodles she liked as a child? But not anymore as an adult and too swamped with work and stressed out to be hungry? That memory will be her rejecting her Mother? And that was a cruel thing to do. We aren't supposed to know the day or hour of our death and neither should anybody else if we choose not to reveal that information for our own reasons? Maybe as a Parent I think that I wouldn't want to manipulate my Children or guilt them into spending time with me? I wouldn't want them sad either? I dont think I'd leave them a letter or note like that? I have pre-written a letter for each of my three Son's letting each one know they were my Favorite! Each one is loved and my Favorite for their own special reasons and personalities. I've kept memory books of each Child my oldest is now 42 with 3 Son's of his own, My middle Son is 37 with two Son's and a Daughter and my youngest Son is 35 with a Son and a Daughter. They were the happiest time of my life and owe me nothing at all.

[@michaelmann8800]

It was a story. Calm down. The mother didn't want her daughter to worry about her, she just wanted to spend her last days with her. Nobody is telling you that you have to do what she did, and nobody asked you to comment on her decision. But since you feel it appropriate to be so intrusive, I think it is cruel for you to write a message to each of your sons telling them that they were each your favorite. It's a meaningless lie. You can just tell them that you love them and leave it at that. Try staying in your own lane. I know you won't.

[@blakklove4735]

That is how my mom left me well us the same way no kidding .I love all these so far

[@tamielynne7374]

Can someone please explain what happened in "the English teacher"? Did he know the guy who did the hit and run? Or was it just some guy who wanted to join his class, to jearn English.. and he accidentally hit mr. Robertons wife? I was confused as to whether the ending meant the asian guy committed suicide or not? It seemed like thats where it was going. Amd the teacher/mr. Robertson ran to try to maybe help or talk to him? It was very sad. And i really liked it. But i wasnt sure if i understood correctly or missed something.

[@jobwesleycoxjr5103]

The student found out that the teacher was the one whose wife he ran over. It didn't seem that he was about to commit suicide, though. Actually, it seems that the teacher ran to his house to physically confront him for what he did to his wife.
