[@80fcollins]

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

[@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

[@matthewdenckla6567]

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

[@BlakeRidder]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks

[@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!

[@jomama5186]

😊😊🧡🙏😊😊

[@paulinefriar6916]

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

[@davehales2249]

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

[@KartsHuseonica]

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

[@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!

[@wizzytimeless]

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

[@justcallmejessz3712]

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

[@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

[@xwhitetruthseekerx]

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

[@SK-nc6mn]

Blake you are awesome. Hope you'll keep honoring us with ur amazing creativity.

[@MrSKRZYNIU]

Loved it. Very good sci-fi shorts 👍

[@joethurman8178]

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

[@Toqueville2023]

Incredible talent! In story, acting and production design!

[@buzzpatch2294]

as always- great work

[@dannymarron5689]

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

[@quantumcomata105]

Most excellent compositions! Best back to back shorts ever

[@BlakeRidder]

Thank you so much

[@thomasmazanec9704]

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

[@BlakeRidder]

Yea. Never been accepted. Tried multiple times

[@NBC_NCO]

The invisible woman sent chils down my arms.

[@rebeccagrenfell2423]

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

[@timriley7398]

These rock Blake!!!!

[@quantumcomata105]

1:34:03 the dog says "ruff! Meow meow meow"

[@anthonycarabajal7575]

Absolutely amazing

[@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.

[@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.

[@jamesbeemer7855]

X900 disguised c600 turmanator .

[@michaelwargo5702]

Good stuff ...thank you

[@tpscientificos9753]

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

[@BlakeRidder]

😂🙏😊😊

[@lisanidog8178]

A house that talks to you. Interesting.

[@billyream7796]

You can make a shoestring dance... with allure. Well played!

[@joethurman8178]

Blake you're hilarious when you become in Step Back In Time

[@jessegriffin9]

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

[@lisanidog8178]

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

[@MEGASILVEREAGLE]

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

[@marcosbettishneider4372]

Every film with potential

[@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 👍👍👍

[@quantumcomata105]

Cuttlefish are fascinating 1:25:08

[@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.

[@RobertReid-my8mc]

Thanks!

[@BlakeRidder]

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

[@davepowell7168]

Ex machina is a superb sci-fi movie .

[@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!"

[@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.

[@wgpdesign8994]

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

[@mushishi9684]

Incredible stories Greetings to the crue from Belgrade, Serbia ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

[@GrillsBare]

Bravo

[@gerardcousineau3478]

Can't let you go 👍💗

[@davehales2249]

This is one of the best compilation Of short titles, I've seen,,and a compilation of the soundtracks, would sound great on an album,(VINYL),,👍👍👍👍👍

[@BlakeRidder]

Wow, thanks!

[@katastar221]

genius

[@Jungletrump]

Anyone know the music artist? I like that song.

[@trig6712]

Strange but good

[@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.

[@immanutt4442]

sequel to Exclusion Zone would be most sweet

[@BlakeRidder]

Yes sir

[@donnaduhamel6004]

Pretty good scary.....😮❤

[@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

[@syida2203]

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

[@davidbornstein9197]

I didn't get the end of cuttlefish. Did the victims turn things around?

[@commonworldz]

What type awards???

[@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.

[@lucar01inos16]

Exclusion zone DOES have a future

[@imfromcanaadaaeh3330]

awesome but the last20 seconds i didnt understand

[@babyoda1973]

I'd this where magen got it from

[@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!

[@philstone3859]

That was messed up Blake.

[@SidManx]

Malfunction was cool !, yet the robot chicks dirty armpit has me very chringed....lol :) good short loved it.

[@HansHencke]

All Ridder?

[@BlakeRidder]

All me

[@michaelmanger8640]

Someone had fun, and it wasn't me... watch the paint dry, don't watch this self-indulgent tripe! ✌🏽❤️🎶🇦🇺

[@michaellee6489]

C600 was absolutely stunning. How was it acting with her? She is a very seductive dancer, very sultry. Great Films!

[@jamesbeemer7855]

Psychosis . Ends in suicide .

[@domenicbonavita1879]

Movies were too short

[@stevenmorrison3228]

Where's the sci fi???

[@reefer2917]

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!

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks for watching. I will consult you next time for music composition

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..' ?! 😡

[@user-rk1bf4eh2p]

To anyone that's involved with these movies🤮

[@dont4143]

Sorry, but I did not think any of them were any good.

[@immanutt4442]

what ?

[@kathrynstewart-mcdonald]

Lame.

[@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.

[@chadjonesvii9369]

​@@BlakeRidderI think you did phenomenal with limited resources! 💯 I look forward to the day that you do have the funding you deserve.

[@geowallace9758]

Well there went another hour and a half of my life online. Message to self. Must escape the matrix. I am going back in wish me luck and comment on how you escaped.

[@davepowell7168]

38mins was enough..

[@dannymarron5689]

You just become aware of the matrix and do little petty things nonstop until it gets pissed and throws you out. Don't hang around the front door either or it'll think you learned your lesson and drag you back in...

[@Think_For_Yourself_]

But what F happens to dr watsons daughter!?

[@SidManx]

I liked PSYCHOSIS very much, a no-way-out situation. With a subtle hint of 'The Shinning', not sure if it's just me but the bar gave me "auto-chills" . ( I just came up with that "auto-chills"....lol ) yes you can use it :)
