DISPLACED - Sci-Fi Short by Carl Thiel

[@adlockhungry304]

The squirrel deserves its own IMDB.

[@thatotherted3555]

The argument with the squirrel is delightful, particularly because I've met squirrels like that one.

[@csxfccga]

One thing's for certain: I can't run from myself. Where ever I go, there I am.

[@DrDavelope]

I had to watch this twice because the first time I was just focusing on the amazing score.I couldn’t understand how such a brilliant score was afforded in a low budget short. I then searched IMDB and realised Carl Thiel is an acclaimed composer who has done multiple scores for movies. Well done! Perhaps more composers should write direct their own movies (Chaplain also did it well).

[@cutmasta1]

Glad you liked the music! 🎥🎶

[@CST1992]

@@cutmasta1 Well done!

​@@cutmasta1 What's the Biggest movie you worked on ?

[@timbrown4853]

@@cutmasta1, I have to agree that the musical score was outstanding. I found this story intriguing; leaving me wanting more. How many of him were there...at least three, but maybe more. I really wanted this story to go on.

[@shawnstatzer95]

This was short but certainly gripped my attention. That meteorite would have been worth a fortune.

[@jimcrackery8321]

The wilhelm scream!!! LOL awesome nice little flick!

[@cutmasta1]

😁 Thanks!

[@-0rbital-]

Aaaooahhh!!! 😂

[@cheryldegan327]

Having hiked the woods behind your house many times before your house was built this was fascinating to me! I kept thinking… run to Carl’s house, you’re only steps away! Wonderful music!!! I loved everything about this. So creative!

[@cutmasta1]

Thank you Cheryl!

@@cutmasta1 I really liked your film! I'll be thinking about this for a long time! Really cool film

DETACHMENT Peter came closer to finding "answers" and "inner guidance" when he lost his Duraflame log, Patagonia winter coat, North Face backpack, electronic music player and cell phone, which detached him from the physical, 3-dimensional realm of spacetime and gave him an expanded perspective. All without dropping acid.

[@cutmasta1]

Detachment indeed...

[@vinodkapoor4166]

Yet ...the book stole the show.voilently displaced & simultaneously forewarned...! Beautiful indeed.

[@laurarudmin1501]

He should have had a hat, and a towel.

[@QIKUGAMES-QIKU]

Gum trees everywhere Except for the Squirrel shot 😅

[@jeanpierrecarpentier]

This is an awesome production,, I especially love the supporting music

[@cutmasta1]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@blondluck4621]

I usually have no patience for time travel stories, but this one is very well done.

[@cutmasta1]

Glad this one worked for you!

[@241sail6]

One of the best concepts I've seen. I would love to see this continued, slowly explaining the phenomena.

[@julianne_warren]

The time loop reminded me of Dark series. Well made tension, dialogue, cinematography and soundtrack.

[@danclayberger770]

What a pleasant video. Very well done.

[@cutmasta1]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@allisonjames2923]

Really enjoyed this Carl. Excellent short that would definitely be interesting in a much longer version. Great cinematography & good acting too, especially since just having one character is tough. Can’t believe you did this in 3 days with no budget.

[@cutmasta1]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@naomimakin1908]

I came to comment half expecting my comment would already be written.... Fantastic piece, well done you 💜

[@cutmasta1]

Hehe... it worked ;) And thank you!

[@stefaniasmanio5857]

Simply magic... a tiny precious piece of art. Thank you so much for sharing...

[@cutmasta1]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@thor8009]

Nice, didn't expect the "find yourself" advice to be taken literally Also didn't expect this to turn into an infinity loop

Mr. carry your Hell Ass home u are ďrive in me Crazy. thank U.

Daamn i was gonna write this joke! :)

[@morenofranco9235]

What the f*k, Carl. This is truly mind bending. Stuck in a mobius loop. Wow. Thanks for the mind-blast.

[@cutmasta1]

You're welcome! 👍🏼

[@sauletto1]

Excellent . Great acting and just great everything. It really started to draw you in at his watches 7:45 time. From that moment on.... I was 100 % committed ! You leave it open just enough for the viewer to make their own theories of what just happened . Very enjoyable 16+ minutes !

[@cutmasta1]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@dollarbudgetstudios]

This inspires me to keep on going!! Love the sound effects!!

[@cutmasta1]

Thank you! Glad you found it inspiring!

Well done Carl. I've always had a soft spot for time displacement type stories. I too had to chuckle a bit regarding the duraflame log...

[@cutmasta1]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@pauldavey]

A year later and it came up on my watch list? Still as good as I remember it from the first time. Excellent.

This loop is short and worst than Groundhog Day. It is hell reliving a short 5 minutes over and over again.

[@camilecavalcante]

Eu simplesmente ADOREI! Muito divertido e criativo! Fiquei tensa e ri ao mesmo tempo! Parabéns a todos os envolvidos no projeto! Esse é o tipo de criatividade que queremos ver, quanto expectadores, nas grandes telas de cinema.

Thank you!

[@Incomprehensibilitiesandchaos]

I do get the feeling that your film was watching me as I sat looking at its thought sequencing - the juxtaposition of the cognitive dissonance flux capacitator. --- the jawbone --- the solution to the eventual ending of the Mobius manifestation. ----- This was very brilliantly done - and I wish you success in all your future incantations in the lands of consciousness. However, varied they be.

[@cutmasta1]

Thank you!

Superb. Didn't understand the two edits of the skull, but it makes sense now. I especially liked the sound and music. Seamless perfection to the final death knell.

[@shellegriffin]

Good video. Has a lot of symbolism. Reminds me of the show “The Good Place”. A chance to repeat until you find what you are looking for or go forward to find something new and unexpected. That’s my take on it. Also Groundhogs day with Bill Murray

[@paullevine1813]

WOW, That was one heck of cosmic ride . Great work on this it had all the atmosphere needed to make is disturbing yet enthralling & mysterious . You read many things into this which makes it so good & strange . Awesome effects & those great little things like the Robin & Squirrel , funny they seemed to know the deal but he did not get it . Very cool ending & very lovecraftian in it's subtleties. It was good thing he was to dumb to set his tent up less this would have really been a short short. Loved it !!! 🌚

So glad you enjoyed it!

Ok . . . that was good. Really good.

Glad you liked it!

[@duchesserickson]

This is so cool! I wish it was longer.

[@cutmasta1]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ricrandmfx]

It's really this a solid short. It's got a bit of mystery, a bit of suspense, a good score & it all works together well. Great job considering a low budget only a few days to shoot it.

[@cutmasta1]

Thank you!

[@barnabyjones8333]

Loved the squirrel! Great, all in all! A detail though. Any guy who can't set up his own tent won't know which way NW is. Ha ha. A fun movie.

[@cutmasta1]

Haha! You're probably right. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bernardburdick9264]

“He said it might help me find myself” . . .

[@Sea-Keith]

Well.............he found himself..

[@waldopepper1]

A film well done! Maybe DISPLACED is what happens to people who disappear in our national parks. Maybe for some they enter into a causality loop and are predestined for these events to play out. Thank you for creating this fine work.

[@cutmasta1]

Maybe that's what happens... we'll never know. 😉 Glad you enjoyed it!

[@pauldavey]

Well that was and has to be one of the best film creations I have ever seen. Great acting ,great storyline just hit the right spot.

[@cutmasta1]

Thank you so much for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@patriciacvener1968]

I think my instinct would have been to go back to my car and get the heck outta there! LOL!

[@SB-yl1ng]

Well done my friend , thought there for a second that it was a toxic carbon dead pond with the Bone's [ or was it a death loop lol Carl Thiel ] Thank You Love.

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Excellent short film. I could see it being continued in some way. Maybe in a way where the displacement comes by different means. Either way, it's great as it is. Good work.

[@cutmasta1]

Thank you!

[@RMR1]

Predictable but very well done, especially on such a small budget. Though variations of this story have been done countless times before, I'd like to this fleshed out a bit more. Maybe not feature-length, but who knows? If done right, it could certainly work.

[@Connor37911]

Fun fact: I used to help raise orphaned squirrels, and that squirrel chatter (plus the tail flicking) is often their “this is my territory…go away” signal, typically aimed at other squirrels of the same gender.

[@mikethunman436]

I liked it! More...! 😃

[@ChickensAndGardening]

Lots of nice touches in this short. I especially liked the squirrel. One time when I was deer hunting, from under a tree, a squirrel spoke to me for like 20 minutes. I have no idea what it was saying, but it was still a form of companionship. Never did see a deer, though.

[@cutmasta1]

Glad you enjoyed it. The squirrel was a fun bit to do. I've had squirrels talk to me as well, so I thought it be a cool thing to incorporate.

[@dreembarge]
