Sci-Fi Short Film “Apocalypse Now Now" | DUST

[@watchdust]

Would you rather see this as a feature film or a series?

[@benjaminshealey7451]

DUST Feature film please.

[@rossharvey1803]

DUST feature film

[@danbookout8765]

I'd love a series. You can get so much more development that way.

[@colbasaur4149]

Either one would be awesome! I just wanna see more of this!!

[@stephanieheinrich2881]

Series for sure 😄

[@AVNDRfound]

Modern Captain Jack Sparrow and apocalyptic Harry Potter. Genius

Haha wtf you made me laugh

[@comicman06tv36]

Yes

[@Philly_Drew]

Yea he talks like Johnny Depp hahaha

[@alrysin3154]

The best description for this video. Would love to see it made into a series as well or movie.

Yup it,s just this H P is mass murderer:)

The “you took my family” character finally gets logicified proving that anger doesn’t make you powerful

[@contrafax]

I would totally watch this as a series! Netflix anyone?

[@scottmartin7717]

@@giantfisher but the budget this would require means we will likely never see a legit, hour per episode series without some company like Netflix.

[@scottwolf3973]

A PhD in the school of life, specialized in the school of hard knocks, And a masters’ degree at the university of bad drugs... Who told you about that? The best dialog and scene ever - goddamn GOLD!

[@randalltyer5591]

Hahaha I thought the same thing. Friggn' awesome! Hahaha

[@HO-bndk]

He said "bad drugs"

[@scottwolf3973]

Harry Ford oh right, yes - yes he did! Good catch - on a mistake that nobody cares about, but yeah - good catch. I stand corrected - however - STILL BEST DIALOGUE EVER!!! Ha ha ha. Have a good one out there, Mr. Ford.

[@ch1nux1430]

"Stay in the circle, Sparky" has to be a freaking meme... PLS Great job as always, DUST :D

[@Irving_teran]

@Akilleus no, you

[@argusminus]

I believe this would make a great movie keep the actors you have in it. They are pefect for the roles

[@RobMacKendrick]

You raise an excellent point. Hollywood (and its non-American counterparts) is always going to want "draw names". They've ruined a lot of good stories like that. This project needs THOSE GUYS that were in the concept short. In a film set in THAT COUNTRY. With their ACCENTS AND CULTURE INTACT. These are not things Hollywood is competent to deliver.

[@roberttbrockway]

@@RobMacKendrick agreed. South Africa succeeded with District 9 and could do it again here.

[@wimvanderstraeten6521]

This looks like an introduction to a tv series or a movie.

It is based on the book of the same name: "Apocalypse Now Now 2013 ISBN1780891318 (ISBN13: 9781780891316)"

[@sinkingdragon]

i swear to fucking god, 8 minute short, 1000% better than most hollywood blockbusters...

Proudly South African.. Local is lekker and its great to see these lil films are getting the attention they deserve.

[@Erica-ot1pv]

South Africans and their lack of urgency. I chuckled when I saw "now now"

[@WARLOCKIKITCLAW]

Guys, this is based on a book by the same name. Go read it, its awesome! I almost slid of my chair when I found this, I am so happily suprised by this!

[@jimjimmyjames59]

Whether it's a series or a film, don't frell it up by putting in "stars". This cast was great.

[@Bman846]

TV Box Stop This is the "full movie". Never seen a short film before?

[@zanestathakis30]

Seeing the “now now” in the title I knew this had to have something to do with South Africa 🇿🇦 haha did not disappoint. Gosh, to us, ‘now’ ‘now now’ & ‘just now’ all mean different things.

[@spacegirl2510]

Ok I need the explanation lol

[@tahaan99]

​@@spacegirl2510 We can't explain them. Honestly it is impossible to explain "Now Now". It's kinda like "Later, but Now." The problem is that the meaning is compltely context related. Example: The movie will start now now. I will send that email now now. Your pizza will come now now.

[@spacegirl2510]

@@tahaan99 that's fantastic 😁 I love it so much. It reminds me of something funny. I was born and raised in California on the coast which is way different from other parts of the country. I had a friend from Colorado ask why we always says yes and no together 😂 "Yeah, no I'm just not feeling it tonight maybe another time." "No, yeah I'm stoked to go with you later tonight dude. Awesome" I didn't realize we say that but we totally do lol

[@Insightful_Inquiries]

The cinematography on this is just absolutely amazing! Real professionals here!

[@carreg-hollt]

Series please! Make it last. Outstanding acting, script, cinematography. Intelligent, gross, funny, mildly disturbing... what more could I want?

[@raelenebledsoe3694]

SERIES👏......I would lovvvvvvvve 2 see this turned into a series AND WITH THESE 2 ACTORS! NOT ANY OTHERS❗️ These 2 paired are PERFECT 4 this👍

[@niallgavin3963]

It bears repeating - "Stay in the circle, Sparky!" Nicely done.

[@blueandgreenslacks]

Seen this on Vimeo a few months ago, so good. “Stay in the circle, Sparky!”

[@ETHRON1]

"I could get used to this".... Epic last line.

[@mrundead6438]

What sucks is that these short movies are so good every strory just leaves you wanting more to it would be Kool if you made a full movie you already have great actors and actresses special effects is brilliant and clearly who ever comes out with these scripts really know what they're doing

[@91010186]

They are just selling ideas, waiting for people who want to write a script to find them

[@queertrash94]

This is a book btw

[@NimishBangera]

This was an amazing film. nowadays I love watching short films rather than full-length​ feature.

monster feeds on strays, the occasional thief or rapist, a gogo comes along and accuses the monster of taking her whole family - i died....

This is the one out of all the Dust shorts that I’ve watched that makes me want a lot more of it.

[@m.pearce3273]

This is one of the finest short films on Dust. The actors 3 are perfect in the rolls. The Dr is one of his best rolls par none. I have rewatched this clip hundreds of times as I discover something new and brilliant about this short Film

[@enzildevos1907]

I love Dust... I watch short films from dust all the time since I don't like sitting still to watch a full movie... Unless it's really good... And as a South African I love seeing things like this... You guys should focus more on South Africa... We have alot of conspiracy theories.. But great job keeping us entertained...

props to sparky for staying in the fackin' circle. but i couldn't help but feel a little pain at that complete waste of coke.

[@utubebgay]

Lol, have to pay the spirits to make the circle work and they like blow. They're relatable that way

[@dalek3257]

I came here because of a movie titled "Love and Monsters" , I love that movie and seriously loved the acting , effects , director , cast , score , the connection to both of these is the director Micheal Matthews directed the movie titled "Love and Monsters" and when it ended , I wanted more of his work , so I googled Micheal Matthews and saw that he only has a few movies under his belt , and one of them was obviously "Apocalypse Now Now" , so I went to youtube and saw this masterpiece Micheal Matthews has amazing potential , also , check out "Love and Monsters" , the trailer isn't as good as the film so don't be thrown off by it , I recommend that you give it a watch

[@Oba936]

This video made me look up and read the book, then read it again, read the second one and gift them both to half a dozen people. I hope this will inspire others to pick up the book. One part of me yearns for a full feature Film or series, but part of me wants it to stay as this wonderful proof of concept that lures people into the wonderfully fucked up world of the books.
