Oh, dear, one of the followers of the three Abrahamic death cults, doubtless awaiting the Rupture, sorry, rapture. You must really be looking forward to dying, in order to receive the promised reward. 😂😂😂 *Religion was invented when the first conman met the first fool* _Mark Twain._

[@beautifulaether]

@@billyandrew ​ Huh? I meant that in general because that is the truth. Is it not? I used to believe in the rapture, but those movies have, and are leading people astray. There is no rapture until AFTER the tribulation. The scriptures say so - 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Context 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the DEAD in CHRIST shall RISE FIRST: 17 Then we which are ALIVE and REMAIN shall be CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH THEM in the CLOUDS, to MEET the Lord in the AIR: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

I have to give it to you whoever made this short film the ending was surprising but I really enjoyed the hell out of it thank you.

So you've both survived solo for months living rough and you have no kit, you're both perfectly clean, brushed hair and looking well fed, that's some talent!

[@davidlist7507]

Haha

[@johnowen9349]

The complete lack of kit was the first thing that bothered me. Like, you couldn't find a backpack anywhere? A bit of canvas and cordage of some sort to build one? Weave a basket with vine straps? Nothing bro? Just gonna stuff things into your jacket pockets because you decided to spend the apocalypse in skinny leg jeans then. Okay.

I ain't hatin..l. I ain't likin either. I could only hear about 10% of the dialog and there is no CC for this to date... so... hate the audio...no opinion about the content because any opinion would be baseless due to lack of knowledge of what it was about! They really need to add CC to it.

Where is the Part 2 ? It says to be continued but there's not one.

I’m assuming that they were nourished by all of the corn in the film

[@douglasblowe805]

The music was a bit overpowering. I had to watch to it twice to get everything clean the stuff I missed because of the music. Having said that it was an excellent film unlike others I see here I would love to see a part 2 also maybe even part 3 and 4. It was very well done. However if you do do some more tongue back the music a little bit I mean the music in the background would be great but tone it back so we can hear a little easier even normal background noises here in my house which aren't much between that and the music is it's exceedingly hard to hear

[@robertcollins9934]

Hi thank you for the kind feedback and yes the sound was something we struggled with as we knew nothing about film making then. We do have a plot for a sequel and also ideas for a remake/expansion if that’s something that would be well received. Also please check out our latest film, ‘the watcher’ to see some of the improvement we’ve made. Look forward to hearing your response. Kind regards

[@oldentimes236]

Why would anyone be waiting for a sequel? What else could they do with the story? The second one would be just as predictable. At 9:13 it was baseball bat over the head obvious... The Tree, EVElyne, Adam. Come on, REALLY? They didn't even leave a plot twist at the end, just some stupid soap opera like suspense "cliff hanger". Is she going to take the "apple" or not? What hack story line. Next time try turning down the music and cut down on the vast amount of footage that does NOT move the story forward. I am editing to add this... How is it the guy awoke to a world all over grown and aged when he could have only been out for three days without dying from dehydration? Was he dead and the fates brought him back? Could have been better scripted. And all this traveling with only a water bottle? No camping stores to loot? No place to get better clothes than the rags they wore? There is so much more, but I just do not have the time.

[@TheAdeybob]

yup

[@McClarinJ]

Constructive I hope: Need to tone down music. The dialog of the girl and the masked being was very difficult to make out most of the time, even wearing headphones, and the music made it even harder to understand. Maybe move the mic closer to the girl.

Awesome story & concept. There were time, however, that the music overpowered the vocals. I found myself fast-forwarding through the myriad of lengthy traveling scenes. AND will there ever be a second part? That is frustrating. Overall, enjoyable. Congratulations Jack & Robert.

[@lancelaws6128]

Not overly impressed with this. Fair to middling at best.

[@DianeHasHopeInChrist]

I loved it.....BUT.....the storyline dragged out a little too much. The acting was great, scenery was great. The music was beautiful....BUT, a little too loud, so we couldn't hear a lot of what was said. I do hope there is a sequel, and that is a little more realistically done, as wearing the same thing for 15 years, while living outdoors, is not feasible. If you're going to drag a story out, at least have interesting bits of realism, like foraging for food, clothing, supplies, etc. Considering there was no others around, I'd think they'd be safe to enter a town. The emotional aspect was good, too. This is a more psychological short film.....which is fine by me. But many immature, uneducated people won't get it, nor will they try to understand, either. Sad, but true.....fools, today, like ridiculousness, and redundant action without a true plot. Proves how dumbed down society has bevome, by the comments they make. Good job, overall!

[@ylliblee5073]

Musics annoying,

[@craigmurrayauthor]

Hopefully constructive... Narration is a poor substitute for dialogue, it's a cheat. Instead of including it in the story just have that 'god voice' tell the viewer everything they need. Slow pacing making it a long road for punchline. An insane and psychotic superbeing slaughtered 8 billion men, women and children, babies and everyone. They have the power and ability to do anything, their only solution is mass murder on a global scale? For people wandering the endless forests, no one has a backpack or sleeping bag or a change of clothes. No cooking implements or even a box of band aids. You would be a pack rat. Everything you found useful you would be carrying with you. I know for the sake of filming you had to stay away from civilization, but did all the malls and shops vanish as well? The dialogue, little as there was, was very stilted. I was half expecting her to say, "Oh Mr. Darcy I am ever so concerned." "Why yes Miss Bennet, I understand your perturbations" If you do a search on here or on Spotify for "Write Away with Craig Murray" it might help with future writing concepts
