And the moral of the "story" is: Don't let a brat test technical equipment. That was a annoying 8+ minutes.

[@paull.6026]

Extremely annoying.

[@billyandrew]

Shows how good the vid is, if you think about it...script, dialogue and acting. I just wanted her to be crushed, bitten, stung, shot, etc, preferably slowly. Damn, if I didn't, however reluctantly, invest in the plot. Someone did a good job in pushing my buttons. 🤔😂😂😂

[@henrytrieu3429]

Hipsters should stick to their standard hipstery banters movies instead of trying to kill sci-fi. Yo Jeff, you are really good at building 3d props, let print a suit. Paul, you are amazing cinematographer, let's make a movie. Oh, Caitlin, you are hip and cute. And Lazarus's perfect for this histery fare. Let's do it. We don't need a script. Film looks great, nice music. I wish there weren't any dialogue.

[@ncox001]

Agreed, she was totally unprofessional - and an appropriate ending would indeed have been for her to realise the error of her ways

[@mikegrace2819]

Should have been titled “don’t let your girlfriend borrow your tech”

[@nomebear]

If I could only get my girl friend to put on a suit like that.

[@RobMacKendrick]

Yeah, it's pretty hot.

[@josephmassaro]

What did I just watch? The hi-tech equivalent of a couple getting lost at the turnoff and arguing how to get back on the road?

[@davidparker63]

I thought that this was extremely well filmed (I loved the photography and the look of the suit and tech) and acted, but the ending was a bit of an anticlimax and didn't seem to reach any kind of conclusion, which I found a little disappointing.

[@egustafson]

agreed. would have been cool if she took off the helmet with a sigh of relief, only to realize she's completely alone on some other planet in another galaxy as the camera slowly zoomed out to show scale. But idk shit about writing so there ya go.

[@KwizMatix]

Fully agree

[@believeinpeace]

Very well said

[@suddenturnforthebest2282]

My thoughts exactly

[@adamasner3932]

Conclusion is similar to ours.its over

[@mikeheffernan]

Love the teleport suit with bugs idea... but it went nowhere? A horror twist at the end would have been good?

[@veralenora7368]

I read a novel that keeps popping into my head as I watch. "The weapon shops of Isher" A man starts to time jump, and each jump takes a wider time swing. He's just a reporter who walked into a small building that suddenly appeared. The owners of the store, a weapons shop, get him into an insulating suit, insulating his surroundings from the energy he's picking up on each swing. In the end, he blows up far in the past, and creates our solar system. Oh yeah, more stuff about the weapons shop, their founder whose an immortal, his distant descendent whose now an empress, individual liberties exist only when we have guns to oppose the government. A. E. van Vogt

[@billyandrew]

Thanks for the book recommendation. I'll look it up. 👍

[@NevTheDeranged]

A classic. There are two versions of this one as well, a short story, which leaves out most of the details, and the novella, which expands on all the stuff you mentioned. Both versions are great reads.

[@billyandrew]

Is it just me or did anyone else want this annoying, know-it-all to meet a grisly end? Superbly scripted and acted and kudos to all involved for getting me enraged at a fictitious character! 😂 The only drawback was lack of plot and motivation for what was an anticlimactic ending.

[@coldawson8486]

No Billy. She was not listening She deserved what was going to be No all narcissist. Lol

[@landsnailproject2875]

Made me jump outa my skin about 20 times! But sure held my interest. Dread to think the kind of places she MIGHT have ended up in! So good - sure makes you interact and think.

[@johnriddle5416]

Great one!!

[@gwcstudio]

Good stuff! Liked the teleport effect.

[@modusop8]

Brilliant!!

[@pranavkamath4329]

Overall cool, but kinda disappointed it looks like they stuck a small person in Master Chief’s suit and put a bubble on top

[@billyandrew]

Kind of apt, as she was obviously a bubblebrain, ie holes all over the place, like an Aero chocolate bar. 😂

[@NevTheDeranged]

For a second there I thought Gill had teleported *into* the beach. Would have served her right, honestly. What an infuriatingly irresponsible person.

[@joseantoniomillabrito2764]

Excellent short film. Amazing things can come out of imagination. I hope we can make it as human race. In spite of our mistakes...as a human race.

[@soksocks]

The only thing this lacked was the originality of the "suit". Its just spartan armor from Halo4&5 with a clear sphere on the head and a special backpack. Overall seemed nice

[@TheKevphil]

Very nice!

[@georgesulea]

Nicely done:)

[@johnbird8060]

Great actress!

[@seecanon5840]

This would be great on Back Friday to teleport store to store.

[@BrunoSantos-ie2nx]

Gostei da abertura junto ao pescoço

[@treacherousjslither6920]

I bet she wouldn't find random teleporting to be funny if she found herself in the stratosphere

[@xin_music]

Rare to see such good Sci-Fi from indie film. Keep it up!

[@luispineda4466]

Just like my X wife, same words "let me do it!"same result .

[@billyandrew]

That's why many think the Creator is a woman. 🤔😂😂

[@hrvoje.wachter]

I really enjoyed watching it. Great story and movie.

[@kurtjensen7264]

Perfect example of why you should never let your girlfriend play with the remote control

[@tealwraith9045]

"I though it was OUR television?"

[@16nowhereman]

I let my girl friend with my remote control any time she wants to.

[@billyandrew]

*16nowhereman* Or so you think. She only let's you think that. 😂

[@rherrera4177]

I thought Gills meant someone was going to swim with the fish.

[@PilatesGuy1]

Fun. Thanks.

[@AndrewSink]

The production level on this is punching way above the 'sci-fi short' designation. Awesome job, loved the suit and all the locations!

[@TheRolling123]

The suit is the only thing I don't like lol someone went crazy with the silver spray paint

[@deathknight7109]

The suit isn’t even original

[@frankbrown2121]

I liked it , would make a good tv series

[@arbjful]

I think the suit not only teleported her to different places but also to different times

[@DadzorRules]

The only thing missing was a plot. Seriously, everything else: acting, camera work, locations, lighting, sound and so on, were all great. It just went nowhere. Sorry.

[@grahamturner1290]

This girl gets around...

[@lightyearsawaythejourneyaf6144]

Cool Job 👍👩‍🚀

[@OperationAdventure]

Awesome film! Hope to see more.

[@melbawells5472]

I enjoyed it

[@Explorenit]

Awesome acting, amazing locations, superb sound quality, & phenomenal effects!

[@BOBOLAMA]

cool

[@peachsncream5808]

That’s the biggest fishbowl I’ve ever seen . That being said she’s pretty 😍.

[@reneeprillaman7609]

Brilliant acting, Caitlin Wells!

[@caitlinwells1421]

thank you, Renee!!

[@gederoniyansen4043]

Teleport in the Middle of The Lava ...or inside the Volcano...or deep in Mariana Trench

[@gssg8samasung540]

That is not even bad.

[@davesmilesssss]

Amazing acting amazing dialogues and perfect emotions 🤣😂🤣😂

[@JamesWhite-vf6pv]

Great storyline!!!

[@hugheyhouseproductions]

Hey super cool short! I can tell a lot of work went into this and the final product is amazing. Subscribed.

[@singlegrainofsand]

Great acting, videography, locations, lighting and SE, no plot

[@JohnSmith-cx7zt]

Should be gill, rids boyfriend takes control.

[@Rikblak]

Great exicution on the shots and effects. Lack of a story made it a bit disappointing I'm afraid. Rock on!

[@Shihab1979]

Nice things

[@suza.productions]

Awesome dude. Keep up.

[@sumerandaccad]

I liked it. Thought it was futuristic scenario with the desolate scene start. Someone should have had an override

[@kemocali6504]

That Was AWESOME!😆

[@BOBOLAMA]

Suit broken, she can never go home

[@mariomelanin2587]

eu adoraria que tivesse legenda

[@benjaminfranzuela5847]

Interesting concept. Annoying know it all character.

[@d.grouard6737]

Since she shuts the suit down at the end, does that mean she has found her ideal destination and plans on staying? I thought the film was entertaining and well done. Thanks for sharing your film.

[@billyandrew]

I drew the same conclusion, but then recalled she earlier complained about her surroundings having nothing lively around, so the beach and her obvious isolation didn't seem right.

[@jonn9953]

Why the mjolnir?

[@petergumaskas9255]

Nice!

[@pakde8002]

That was frustrating. A little more discretion chosing lab partners next time.

[@treacherousjslither6920]

[@thomasmazanec977]

Wasn't this on DUST?

[@kevinpotts123]

Can I ask why no closed captions? It really sucks because I love SciFi but am deaf so I cannot enjoy these great films.

[@nelsonthibeau4480]

I used to tell my friends the difference between European and American movies is European movies don't have endings, they never liked those movies 😄

[@candycosmonaut]

brilliant filmography ... as said the protagonist bickers to what end ... a salty sea ? This may be more existential than the viewer perceives. I loved it !

[@K3Flyguy]

What does this pretty little pink button do?

[@noelhutchins7366]

Advancing-cultures should annotate the detriment of being-stared-at, that of being-scolded, or inaudibly-spoken-ill-of; the fact that researcher can chuck-out revealed-formula to support ignorance is more well-founded than the context of test-parameters: anyone aware of research unconsciously skew tests, cognitive dissonance. With taboos there's no consensus to proceed; this concept hits a wall too: that you stared, spoke ill out of earshot & changed things.

[@BelakorVenator]

Odd how so many people seem to be viewing this as literal. Of course it doesn’t make sense to them. Good work

[@peachsncream5808]

Cooling systems aren’t enjoying the heat - just a minor flaw - for a cooling system wouldn’t you say . Or mabe it’s just my dislexic A.D.D . Seeing things wrong 🤔😉

[@uthriangod8747]

Reason scientists can't find a vaccine for covid

[@matthewrudolph8696]

Hello

[@jacekmarczyk4436]

The point being????

[@robertreber8296]

Don't do this, don't do that, blah, blah, blah. I liked the story. What will she do now? We get to ponder!!

[@owlthepirate5997]

This actress reminds me of a young Aubrey Hepburn.. great film!

[@Drone_PilotSG]

Woman was teeeible....I was hoping she got vaporized

[@peachsncream5808]

I would post a long wind critical thinking , emotional intelligent post …however the KZbin censorship algorithms keep taking the dammed things down …. Then I’ll end up with another 24 hour posting BANN 🤦🏻‍♀️ . So ‘’ mundane flattery and basic observational comments and simple personal opinions will have to do 🚩🤦🏻‍♀️.

[@rovidavid99]

I wished she would end up in the middle of the ocean or the top of Mount Everest and the battery would just die off.... So very annoying.

[@SB5SimulationsFerroviairesEEP]

Tout ça pour trouver une plage? Purée, bonjour le coup du voyage! Rires. Stéph. All this to find a beach? Well, hello, the price of the trip! Laughs.

[@Lianel402]

Just like those annoying brats pushing all of the buttons when they get into the elevator…

[@i-primeproductions1517]

Mkay... no point.

[@ShawnHall]

These two were totally unprofessional . Between her not listening to anything he was saying and his emotion fueled whining. Plus they had no chemistry. I'm not even sure what the heck the point of the story was with that non-ending. This should have been written differently.

[@aquariandawn4750]

I saw a man hating feminazi and a soyboy who thought he was acting like a typical man.

[@rollinmckim4719]

Gill? I was wondering what IT was, thought boy, then girl, then genderblender. Was rooting for the sharks to get it. PLEASE don't make a sequel.

[@skippytreehouse1704]

Sucked

[@BadgerAmongMen]

Repurposed Mjolnir cosplay?

Negative by name negative by nature

This won awards ? ... lol ... short films = meh wtf. On the lame meter : 10/10.

[@pakde8002]

In the time before Corona every third small town had a film festival. Doesn't mean a thing unless it's Sundance or other established film festivals.

[@16nowhereman]

Is this a boy or a girl?

[@biglakejudy]

Nah, another space of my life gone for nothing. Non ending sketchy story just plain irritating.

[@danclayberger770]

Lousy audio NEEDS closed captions for those of us who have a hearing problem. This gets a thumbs down.

[@joben9636]

Acting was bad, story was even worse. Hey let me just not listen or follow any protocol while testing a new piece of technology...dumb

[@jeremiahvee9168]

I'm sure that you would have done way better. I can picture you in your mother's basement criticizing everyone more talented then you.

[@tonysgadgets4051]

Is it a comedy ? i like the idea but, the character doesn't seem mature enough to teleport and to follow protocole. The voice over doesn't have the acumen to be a boss.

Hahahahaha nice suit you rip offs xD

[@pumabear2724]

No solid plot, no conclusion at the end..it just seemed, pointless some how.

[@markbigelow2608]

Meh

[@rttp-righttothepoint6656]

she is annoying for no reason. there is no reason for her actions

[@adrianhorta8582]

So bad

[@terrykosowick594]

pointless

[@joshchavers7391]

Bad acting bad script bad movie.

[@RobMacKendrick]

Bad viewer

[@michaeltelemachus5112]

The character is just not credible.

[@chrisharten853]

She's is really annoying. Wont listen.
