Dust

[@DHTHORNE]

I have been waiting for this for several years. I want people to know that this film is a masterpiece. It is deserving of it's own Series on Netflix or some other network willing to take the risk. I want to give this a standing ovation. This film has some of the finest cinematography, special effects and design I have EVER seen. This is not simply top notch, it is BAR RAISING. I was stunned into silence, inspired, and humbled. The story is a tad confusing at certain stages, but the overall plot and message held solid through to the end. I want to know this world in detail, and experience it in more stories in the future. THANK you Emberlab. THANK YOU!

[@smalltyler9]

Very well put

[@Draidis]

Completely agree!!!

[@AlienatedCornea]

Agreed, this is enriched with solid writing, powerful visuals, and a profound message.

[@Lazurath101]

If you want to see a series VERY similar to this, then check out the anime "Mushishi." It's fantastic.

[@SuperAlphamale13]

i'd love it if this became a series on netflix or hulu. i think it'd be great.

[@SuperAlphamale13]

End My Life I'd be willing to wait for it. I don't speak for everyone else but I know that I'd be patient enough to wait for it.

[@Celuan1999]

So many netflix/hulu shows are drama based with the majority of the characters sitting around with bland dialogues, where as something like this with great atmosphere and story i would watch every episode if they were like this and became a show. Bro why you got to go and make comments like this, now i legit want this to be a series to the point id back it $100 or more.

[@DoubleMKGaming]

I wish they would chill with the series... Why stretch things out for so long...

[@elizabethpinkerton9866]

No, hell no ,netflix ect would destroy it.

I find it ironic that Triple-A companies can't even make a decent movie yet smaller guys like you can make a fantastic movie with less money

[@Helveteshit]

Difference between Money Hogging companies and Devoted creators.

[@therocketteddy6624]

Triple-A companies only care about money, so they rush it. This smaller guy takes his time. good work :)

[@JaboDumpster]

The mix between accents is actually one of the best parts, the city guy clearly has a domestic accent where as the countryside fellow, clearly does not, adds a lot to the film, and in my opinion should never be overlooked.

[@shhteve]

Hollywood must be afraid of you and your work. Well done.

[@kikamonju]

I would love to see more from this world. Both pre-Dust and post-Dust. It seems like a really awesome world.

[@kikamonju]

Also your production values are really high and your actors are phenomenal.

[@recht_voor_zijn_raap5506]

This and Majora's Mask terrible fate has instantly become my favourite KZbin fan films I have ever seen ... This studio is going places ... I would be that suprised to see a full length movie coming from these masters of animation and cinema

[@thelegendofhuman2754]

Recht_voor_zijn_raap okay but this is not a fan film, only terrible fate

[@mr.collinsdramaticproducti4570]

The biggest shame is how few views this has. This is a beautiful work of art that needs to be shared.

[@FifthKazekagGaara]

i hope one day this becomes a big film that will make a huge impact in the movie industry because this was really really incredible and if u can do this u deserve it!

[@gyrrakavian]

Here's hoping some Hollywood producer stops doing coke long enough to figure out this would be a great investment for fleshing out and backs Ember Labs to make a full length film.

[@Yugimation]

Absolutely fantastic work. I loved every minute of this! This needs the recognition is so rightfully deserves.

[@TheRelaxedGamer]

You can see early Kena stuff in this. The nature in balance, things that invade the ecosystems and create unbalance to the ecosystem. It's great!

[@spacerboi]

Please make a series out of this 😭 I'm sure Netflix or something like that will support you.

[@valpen]

This is just unbelivable. I have waited for this for so long. Thank you Ember

[@BigBrocolli9]

This deserves more attention. Hopefully because of the Majoras Mask short this will get seen more

[@FringeOfChaos]

This is one of the best things I've seen in a long time, and I'm counting my new infatuation with Westworld. Seriously, this deserves a well funded series on Netflix or something. Aboslutely fantastic, from beginning to end.

[@Shankovich]

Found you guys after the Majora's Mask vid. Honestly you guys compete with Pixar in terms of visual quality. Surely some of the render backends and software is in house?

[@rannma1]

Holyshit... I'm so glad that I waited... oh my god... I would LOVE to see a sequel, or even a full 2 hour long film on this... I know it would be a huge undertaking... but after how well your kickstarter went for this one... I have no doubts that you guys'll be able to do it again! I'd love to donate to the next film, I'd love to see you guys do more than just indie, maybe oneday something on the silver screen!

[@sup.3838]

I just realized this took them 4+ years to make this. I think I love this channel now for their dedication. No homo 👏🏿😍

[@cartermorphis6862]

you guys deserve so much more than what you have now. everything you do is fucking fantastic.

I feel really bad that this doesn't have a million views! :(

[@Roy-lu2hv]

This is probably the best Movie i have ever seen. As i saw it for the first time i was totally stunned by the beatiful look, the wonderful story and the amazing acting. This piece of work deserves way more attention than it got until now. Thank you EmberLab for letting us all see this masterpiece.

[@mechwarrior077]

yes more of this, seriously how does this only have 16 thousand views?

[@YimiIpsa]

This short film should have at least more than 1 million views.

[@Vengix93]

That was absolutely fantastic! I was engrossed from the first segment of the short film. This needs more recognition and love for sure

[@Kaim417]

I can tell without a doubt that your work is full of passion, and it's incredible. That's something really rare nowadays.

[@zenbrown7144]

I came across this channel via the excellent Terrible Fate short but was blown away when I watched this. You guys deserve more exposure your work is mind boggling. If Netflix were to give this a chance as a series it would soar. You've created such an interesting world I'd love to see more of it. 30 minutes was nowhere near enough, but I'd still pay good money just to own this on Blu-ray.

[@justfriendly7676]

Awsome. Now a full movie on the big screen! Seriously! Where's the full length version! Your to good for youtube!

[@Hel1mutt]

This was super awesome! Great story, cgi and characters!!! Masterfully done!

[@jordanh7676]

this had to be one of the best productions ive ever seen. and all packed in to a half hour. bravo... please keep making more.

[@cgfanman]

This was honestly one of the best films I have ever seen. I'm in love.

[@jerryrogers757]

Best short film i have ever seen...seriously. A movie should be made from this. Absolutely entertaining. Loved every secound of it.

[@longliverocknroll5]

This was superbly done and it truly is a shame that this has yet to go "viral" and give you the exposure that you deserve in the same way that the Majora's Mask video did. Really feel like this could be turned into a longer film, or used as a prequel. Seems like a cool enough world to build upon for future content.

[@JK-zi1rg]

This could easily be turned into a series or full movie - the plot, the characters, the animation. A+++. congrats on such a fine masterpiece!

[@immagamerguy8447]

Lol funny how SYFY never puts this much effort in their own films.

[@TheSliverSilver]

I was really captivated by Kena last night and today I started reading about your studio through your website and presskit. I found out your were behind the beautiful "Terrible Fate". And then I stumbled onto this masterpiece. You guys know how to tell a story, to magnify a universe and touch people. Thank you for your hard work. I can't wait to discover Kena ! Good luck

[@saul8019]

I agree this is one of the best productions I've seen this year, it really stands out in a qualitive sense. Locations used were breathtaking

[@j.t.harrison3203]

Anyone else binge watching all their stuff after the "KENA: Bridge of Spirits" preview from the PS5 reveal? 😁🎮🎮🎮🎮🎮

[@jmparis83]

Yes indeed! :D Except after I've finished KENA on PC.

[@Chiramisudo]

As an update, I was very disappointed with the image quality on my PS5. It did NOT have the crispness I'd expect for a 4k game. However, I found the story to be quite endearing and cute. Loved all the hats for my rot. Be warned that the game is extremely linear though if you're not into that kinda thing. I don't know if it was worth $40, but definitely $20 or maybe $30. I'm quite miserly with my game purchases though, often waiting months or even years for a good sale. Still haven't bought Spider-Man: Miles Morales, LOL.

This was A-MA-ZING! I haven't seen such a beautiful film for a long time - the actors, the animation, the lighting, the story - I could go on but I'll just go and immerse myself in your other productions instead. Truly sublime🥰

[@jaydavis4752]

Unbelievable an amazing cinematic film with amazing visual effects, and the creatures look brilliant. Dust should be the next film studio everyone turns to cuz their shorts are first class movie production Id love this to be a feature length film along with alot of others this film studio kicks out. I say enough with the shorts and bring us all something to sink our teeth into. Incredible, simply amazing films. Hollywood has lost its touch it seems making a huge gap for these start up film industries to showcase what they do best and that's making films Spielberg style, stuff I grew up watching or twilight zone. At present Dust is my all time favourite for imagination and creativity for sci fi short flicks my only hope is that they go mainstream and hit it big time and stick to what they do best and not follow the critics and make films for the for the fun of it as they currently do.

[@numatruehome100]

only under 50K? THIS SHOULD BE WAY MORE POPULAR THAN IT IS!!!

[@halorech117]

This should be made into a Netflix series

[@agentstarkiller007]

Halorech117 that's what I was thinking, the story is strong. The main plot could be obviously finding and eliminating those creatures, while the dust continues to wreck havoc and spread. Causing new and greater mutated threats and maybe even encounter a few who are human and immune. Therefore driving to research them and figure out how they are immune without the conventional cure. It could go on and on

[@Nijadj7]

I think this works better as a stand alone movie than it would as a series. This film was a passion project that took a long time to make and converting it into a quick production series would stamp out the artistic and beautiful world and creatures this film was built on and the deeper themes would be watered down and washed away untill it no longer resembled the original that was so great.

[@gabrielrobledo7934]

This film is so beautiful. I couldn't look away for just a second because I would miss out on something so gorgeous. I really want can't for more of this. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this because of the majora's mask video.

[@Johnny-dp1hr]

This is THE best visual masterpiece to watch on KZbin.

[@astroyll]

This deserves more views. The set pieces and CGI flesh out the world with so much detail, and the atmosphere and setting really set it apart. The acting isn't the best, but it wasn't a setback at all to the experience. All the creatures are awesome, I especially love the hydra. I just love this. 11/10 Showing this to everyone I know, you guys deserve it.

I would enjoy watching more of this story, everything was perfect and balanced.
