Congratulations, that's exciting news. 👍 👍

[@AphroditeLee]

AWESOME!

[@bobinthewest8559]

Well... she certainly did seem to be enjoying her victory at the end there...

[@crlcan8121]

The budget of this film just brings out the intended aesthetic that more expensive films and shows can't replicate.

[@jasonfryer4953]

Uncle Fester wearing Mad Max's leathers!!...now that's fresh‼️ I love it !

[@tomgraves6463]

4:55 ~ "Singe my hair and we'll see who hurts who." Love it....! 😂😂😂😂😎👍

[@revanamarie7210]

I would definitely watch a full length movie of this! And yes i plan to check out your book!

[@MikeBoothFilm]

Thanks Revana, I'd love to make that full-length film one day once I've saved up enough pennies. The book will have to do for now, though! Thanks for watching and commenting :)

[@robertzantay5923]

At last, a short movie that actually tells a story and has a real ending!

[@MikeBoothFilm]

Thanks, Robert - I'm sure there are a few more short films with endings out there!

[@ChuckieFinzter]

Opening titles straight out ot the 80's.

[@matthewsayer3364]

Great work! I read the book on Wattpad about 2 years ago, and was really impressed! It's great to see what you've put together here, the passion behind the project is inspiring!

Un believable! This is as good or better than most Disney and Legendary flicks. Not one boring second during the whole film. Props, photography, story and very good acting. Hollywood, take heed!

[@jamesmorgan1063]

Great film, especially liked the bounty hunter and the "uncle fester" character was a nice treat.

[@mexicantrex_3826]

I screamed when I saw the short was out, I wheezed at the sight of Last and I passed out from the legendary exo canon scene! Well done Mike, congratulations on this masterpiece!

[@MikeBoothFilm]

Thank you very much, so pleased you enjoyed it :)

Gotta admit I was a bit skeptical seeing the "HAWK" title.. But this was Awesome!! 10/10 🎬👏👍

A full movie with the bounty hunter babe would be great! Well done!😊

[@dontalionsomber6080]

I wasn't expecting how truly great this is. I have to see more adventures with this character. Totally grabbing that novel.

uuuuhhh I liked it. Especially the victory dance in slow motion.

Thanks, Virgil, really appreciate it. It was a lot of work to make it on such a small budget but I'm very proud of it. Thanks for watching

[@wolfhors3_660]

Not bad. And a whole story!

[@jasoncentracchio4836]

Very impressive short film. I hope you intend to continue the story. I'm going to have to get this book. Great set design and story. It had an 80s sci fi feel to it, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Nice soundtrack as well. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Thanks for sharing.

[@MikeBoothFilm]

Thanks so much, Jason, pleased you liked it. We were aiming for an 80s vibe so I'm glad that came across. Thanks for watching and commenting :)

[@seraphimuploads2947]

Damn! If this was made into a proper series with all the right gear, it could be real good.

[@jeffreya.patterson6210]

sponky and smart as a fox. nice

[@pellesomethingsomething]

This was fun. The monologues where a bit long, but good plot twist and nice sci-fi, especially the robot. We need good sci-fi.

[@MikeBoothFilm]

Thank you, glad you liked the robot - took several weeks to build!

[@gmontezuma6770]

I am buying the book today!

[@tjkoker]

Finally, a short fiIm where I really enjoyed the story. Acting was good, Cleo could have been a bit less wooden. Set and cinematography were tight. Screenplay and dialogue well written. Loved the graphics and closing song. The dancing around the prisoners was hilarious. Great job.

[@wretchedblade]

this was SO GOOD!

[@pakde8002]

Nice work. Loved the Tall Uncle Fester

[@jamesbenton9793]

Great job Mike. Hard work pays off 👍

[@13thBear]

Decent short story. Better than most presented on YT. A little bit cliche, but its easy to overlook that considering the story. Even good guys have bad days sometimes. I enjoyed watching the spaceship set being built too. Nice to see behind the scene before seeing the story for how the set was going to be used. The set was convincing to me. Got to say I am favorably impressed. Well done to cast and crew.

[@johnnb6928]

Great work.

[@yugene-lee]

This is amazing and really well done. I would pay to watch a full movie of this.

[@MikeBoothFilm]

Thank you, probably going to be a long time before the full movie comes out but you can always read the book :)

[@yugene-lee]

@@MikeBoothFilm I will definitely look into buying it!

[@RamBam3000]

I think this is very well done.

[@deano43]

You’ve peaked my interest and now I’m off to amazon for a little browse.

[@TheRonaldbaxter]

Not too bad. Not loads of guns. A plot, no scantily clad women or sexy robots! :)

[@kevinpslater]

Well done. The shed must be some sort of Tardis.

[@MikeBoothFilm]

It's a big shed.

[@SavageSanDiego2012]

omg Amazon? Well, that is just smart advertising.

[@OllisFilmkueche]

Great short movie!

[@berniewatts1587]

Wow! That's fantastic! I want to see more!!

[@MikeBoothFilm]

Thanks, Bernie - won't be any more Hawk for quite some time now, took me 7 months just to make this! If you want to find out what happens next, the novel is available on Amazon.

[@tekman2000]

Yes, VERY good. Almost makes me want to actually READ the printed version. But too busy with work and VR so I will wait for the movie or mini-series. (smile)

[@MikeBoothFilm]

Thanks, Will - you'll probably have to wait a few decades for a movie or series but glad you enjoyed this short. Paperback is out now if you change your mind about the book!

[@indiemusicpress4091]

THAT WAS GREAT! Love the characters ...fun to watch, it ended too soon!

What a plot twist

[@valoryj5603]

Not entirely like the book, but that is to be expected. Close enough I suppose. Still awesome. I agree. Needs to be a movie.

[@MikeBoothFilm]

Thanks, Valory - yeah I made a few changes from the book but I think it keeps the essence of the story and the characters. Thanks for your support! :)

[@JossJoss5000]

Cool little film. Very creative how you used your ressources to the max. Although I think that the sound design/effects could need some work (ship engines, paralyze effect etc.) but it can still be done

[@MikeBoothFilm]

Thank you - yeah the sound design could have been a lot better, next time I'll get someone to help out

[@JossJoss5000]

Mike Booth still, the fact that this isn‘t a deal breaker for the audience speaks volumes 🙂 great work

[@aaronwilliams6165]

I think you have something interesting that you can build off of. Teach us who Hawk is and why she does what she does.

[@shoesfx]

i get a tarantino vibe here hehe :P love the dialogs and music in the end

[@NicleT]

I absolutely would follow this series.

[@MikeBoothFilm]

Thanks! No plans for another film any time soon but there's a lot more story in the book - links in the description if you're interested :)

Hi, I just made a German subtitle for "Room 88' | Time Travel. I just love the short movie you guys make. It's pretty amazing tbh. Besides, we needed to make a project for translation of any short-film for our college. And I'd love you to confirm it. Hope that helps you a bit Mike.

[@MikeBoothFilm]

Hi, that's cool you chose my film to do subtitles for! Yeah, go for it - let me know how it goes.

[@egemen261]

@@MikeBoothFilm Hey! I already have finished the subtitles. I guess you only need to confirm it. It was way better than I expected. Was quite fun. I'd also like to do for other short films of yours if I have enough time left. Have a nice day.

[@MikeBoothFilm]

I've just approved it - thanks for doing it! Feel free to do more if you want :)

well done

[@chuck95128]

well done, sir

[@peterveloso581]

I after reading the novel a year ago I was waiting for this film (sadly I was too busy with school works) . I'm amazed on how this tuned out. To be honest I was expecting a white chick with pink colored hair to be hawk, but this one's still good and it fits the character more than my opinion. I can't wait for this to be a movie and watch the scene where hawk meets the kid All in all It was Amazing Goodluck with your career Mike!, Fans are waiting for amazing works like these

[@MikeBoothFilm]

Thanks, Peter, I appreciate your support. Kas is black in the book as well, but I like the idea of a pink mohawk! Might steal that for the next book...

[@matycee]

cringed at the thumbnail for this.... wound up STOKED. really fun

[@MikeBoothFilm]

Thanks, glad you like film. What do you think is it about the thumbnail that made you cringe?

[@ncox001]

I liked it, but I thought that the bounty hunter was a little cocky at the end - that often leads to unfortunate and unforeseen problems

[@D4MGG]

It’s surprisingly great, just like a normal movie, like any great movie. Btw how did you pull it off? Pls if you could explain it thoroughly

[@MikeBoothFilm]

Thank you, pleased you liked it. We shot it in a large garden shed over three days, though it took about 6 months to build the set. If you have any specific questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

[@D4MGG]

Mike Booth I believe it’s easier if we get in touch through a social app, like Facebook, instagram, whatever you see fit.

[@MikeBoothFilm]

@@D4MGG I'm not on any other social media platforms so feel free to ask questions here

[@D4MGG]

Mike Booth ok, i wanna know how did you managed to find the proper people to do it. I mean, the people who are willing to do something like this.

[@MikeBoothFilm]

@@D4MGG Actors I found either through people I know or via a casting call online. I'm very lucky to know our sound man Bob who has done all my films - he's excellent. A couple of friends helped out, either with building the set or lending a general hand on the shoot, otherwise I do everything else myself.

[@johnpayne7873]

That was too much! More!!!

[@grantgreyguda]

How were you able to make the suit for the robot? Did you make a video on it?

[@MikeBoothFilm]

There isn't a video on it. I made it out of cardboard at first as that was easy and cheap to test with, then I remade it with EVA foam. Took a while to glue it all together. The dome head was a random find - it's a pet window for dogs to be able to look through garden fences! I spray painted it black on the inside, leaving a small area clear so the actor could see through it

[@grantgreyguda]

@@MikeBoothFilm 👍 👍

[@MJVO2010]

Any chance you could make the book available at amazon.ca - Canada?
