@@he.artproductions cool, thanks! Good luck in future projects. This one was a bit too cryptic for my taste, but it was well made.

[@humblyright]

Well done, very well done!

[@martinscholtz6603]

This was great, I'm glad see South African Filmmakers taking on projects like this and not afraid to dream, sci fi is no easy genre when you have a limited budget and this shows that when you can dream it, you can do it, well done to all the actors and crew... never stop.. keep pushing, keep telling stories..

[@callmeKabous]

Dankie Slakkie!

[@madnessbydesignVria]

SPOILERS!!! So let me see if I've got this straight: Woman talks man into space mission involving slingshotting around black holes to go really fast because Higgs Bosons, and it's the most important space mission ever because God. So far? K. So man does mission and has flashbacks because remembering stuff. Then he's in a bigger Universe as a dust particle like 'Horton Hears a Who' while a groovy song plays. The end. Now that we're clear on that, HOW was he supposed to communicate back to Earth that he found the way to be small? The whole point of this mission was to find out if God has big flowers (he does), but since this guy has no way to transmit that info back to Earth, his big flower show stays with him - he's in a Big God Universe now. That's not a good return on investment. Also, it seems an unmanned probe could have just as easily done this mission without the need for a human and human sustaining supplies, even if he's only going one way. Just curious... :)

[@LionKimbro]

Yeah, I'm with you on your impression. :/

[@raysgarage7260]

Yup. Lots of pretty for not much substance.

[@Albtraum_TDDC]

@@raysgarage7260 I agree.

[@GummyBearWA]

My thoughts as well. Who was the young boy? It certainly wasn't our protagonist.

[@OShackHennessy]

I had to rewatch this a few times and I don’t think he’s a small dust particle I think our whole universe is that tiny dot.

[@mikebasil4832]

I hope that this wins some awards because it is certainly deserving. Thank you for sharing it with the world.

I can't believe more people haven't watched this. I felt an uncanny connection to this smart high quality production. Incredible minds behind this one.

[@hurmzz]

Ahh finally, one of my thoughts about the nature of our universe visualised in a beautifull short😍

[@he.artproductions]

Thank you. I am so glad to hear that!

[@Saintious]

Well done. We've always wondered what lies beyond. There are so many interpretations and I love those that connect worlds. Thank you for this short, but wonderful story.

[@creativeleo]

In Hinduism we say, What lies out there, lies inside us, that's why living is experiencing the energy from different perspectives

[@ForestGirlTeresa]

It was said that when scientists finally figured out the mass of the Higgs-Bosun, just knowing it would destroy our world because of some paradox or other that escapes me at the moment. Now, I have no clue how slingshotting off a black hole can help you discover God (the H-B is also called the “God particle”) or what this has to do with quantum physics, but it all sounds arcane enough that somebody decided to make a movie about it. It doesn’t have to make sense.

[@marthinusbreitenbach]

Wow! Not only is it well scripted, the sound engineering, acting, editing, lighting, colour and whole idea is magnificent! Well done Wihan!! Would definitely recommend🌌🥂no doubt the best future producer and screen writer

A Higgs Boson enters a Catholic church. The conversation goes like this: BOSON: I would like to join your Congregation. PRIEST: Sorry, we don't accept Higgs Bosons at this church. BOSON: B-b-but, you HAVE TO let me come. Without me, you can't have Mass.

Excellent Short... Needs to be seen by a wider audience, perhaps DUST could pick this one up and launch it towards their subscribers too.

[@jacovawernett3077]

A joy to watch something beautiful and intelligent and creative. Let there be light.

[@JACK_TheAllSeeingEye]

@5:30 "Just.....think about it." Very emotive and engaging up to this line. Thoughtful and intriguing.......then this line dropped it all flat. You've anticipated an intelligent audience.....how could the protagonist (us) not think about it? May seem like a spurious point, but great skill went into building that scene.

[@briangriffin4515]

I was feeling thick, so it took time to sink in. Nice one! For the ultimate bus journey from Hell to Heaven, see C.S. Lewis, THE GREAT DIVORCE ...

Did he and the ship shrink? Up until the end the film was very good. I speculate he either ended up in a world of giants or returned shrunken down to matchbox size??

[@charlesphillips1468]

Ms. Pearce as an army recruiter: "If you go die heroically, your name will be the answer to every question about the greatness of our nation." Now, I know someone is going to object to this, but I was thinking when she was trying to convince him to go and that he would never come back, that he would die in the name of science, that she was just like a military commander telling his soldiers to attack knowing that by doing so, they would die in the name of nationalism, patriotism, whatever. There was something just wrong about that part of the movie which I otherwise enjoyed.

A very interesting film that poses theories, questions and answers into a tighly knitted drama. Well done, thanks for making this. I wish you the very best in moving forward with your career in film making, and i look forward to your future productions.

[@Failte630]

Well I have to give you thumbs up for making the film. Way beyond my ability, but I didn't get anything from it. I can't see how it can benefit us to send a man out to the edge of the universe if he can't come back , UNLESS he is able to send all the data back to us? Was he?

I THINK I get it… our entire universe is basically a particle that makes up an even larger universe. Do I get a prize if I’m right?

[@MJG206]

that was my thought as well

[@gordonpsmith8958]

But as she said in the voiceover, she had hoped that she and we could receive data or a transmission from beyond the barrier at the end of the universe. She tells the press conference that it turns out they can’t, so THEY don’t know what’s beyond - even tho the pilot makes it and learns we are indeed just a mote in larger world.

[@johnc.w.245]

Amazing just amazing!!! Please sir, may I have some more?

So why do they at least not send a probe first? And why do they send a young person if they are going to send a single person on a one way trip rather than a much older person?

[@frankcallies2980]

Very very well done! Better, more interesting and more poignant than some multimillion dollar productions. I'm not entirely sure I really understood everything, but that's true of the whole subject. I admire people, like you, who put so much energy and heart and soul into a project like this that will almost certainly never be commercially successful. I also like the actors and especially the music chosen for this film. Continued success and best wishes from Germany.

[@he.artproductions]

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you very much!

[@ospyearn]

I don't get it. Is there a point? And if so, what kind of point is it? I know about the Higgs boson and its moniker "The God Particle" and the reasons given by Lederman for choosing that nickname, rather than "The Goddam Particle", which, Lederman says, "might have been more appropriate", but is the nickname the central idea of this video?

[@nathanwildthorn6919]

Fantastic!

Have to be honest here and not trolling. There's not much of a story here of a beginning or an ending.

So, is that tiny white dot at the end supposed to be his vessel drifting by? Was it shrunk down to a dot or is the surrounding vegetation super huge? Several comments seem to indicate that some see this as worlds within worlds. Thing is that doesn't really work since atoms are nothing like planetary systems. Electrons don't simply orbit the nucleus like planets around the sun. Nor are the planetary systems in our universe, just "atoms" in a much larger body of something else. The comparison isn't valid because the analogy quickly breaks down. For instance, the earth isn't just a spec of dust drifting in a much larger something like the Who's in Whoville. When dust particles collide they just bounce off each other. Unlike the collision of planets. And what has it all to do with the Higgs anything? To me this work, while quite good, comes down to a story with yet another "left to the imagination" ending. Something way overused. Something of which I'm pretty tired.

[@50001mick]

It could have been called “The search for God.” Or “Entering Eden”
