Sci-Fi Short Film "Biopunk" | DUST

[@DexFlett]

I was really loving that, and then.................wtf? Is there a part 2? Now we have an end to a story with no end! Are we never going to find out who took Keo, why they took Keo, where did they take Keo, what does the future hold for Keo and his sister???? And the biggest conundrum of all.........why didn't Keo want his laces tied?

Welcome to DUST

[@DexFlett]

@@bleedsmetal Indeed. You'd think I'd be used to it after all these years.

[@467-k1m]

It is such a simple situation. Make up your own ending. You will feel better about yourself.

He's growing and cannot afford new shoes, so they are too tight. She wants him prepared to run. In the new situation, factions both religious and political need recruits. The young can be stolen and indoctrinated

[@Tanks-Link]

Damn, that was crazy. I need part 2-3-4 etc

[@RDJ134]

HODOR!!!

[@TheLepke2011]

Apparently that was his best acting.

Knock knock 🚪

Hodor !!!

[@mmattcisterna5591]

Yeahhhh haha

[@TheVolOpt]

There are a lot of really really solid aspects of this, the actors/background characters, sets/props, cinematography. Overall great performance and setup for something. Maybe I missed it somehow but for a short film titling itself biopunk I really didn't get any major biopunk vibes, just general post apocalyptic vibes.

[@robertjames-vu2xt]

yea i didnt see any punks just some religious nutjobs lol

[@chrisflores4788]

This is from 2017. If they haven't made a 2nd part by now, I doubt they ever will. Too bad, it looked good

[@SimonKelk]

It looked like a lot of effort just for that short piece too. Where was the biopunk? Was it the kid who didn't get injured?

[@Bapate-rh9be]

New London? This looks pretty much like just London to me.

[@paulmcmanus6222]

I thought New London was in Connecticut, USA

[@Bapate-rh9be]

@@paulmcmanus6222 I also visited Londan while beeing in Canada as well.

Dude.....don't make us find you.. you have to finish this...seriously... this is top shelf 👌 need continuation 😊

[@osmia]

Thanks for having CC enabled

[@sohovulture87]

More please!

[@melissarmt7330]

I forgot it was a short! Wow, well done! Of course, you're making more of this story...?

[@dbest4755]

I watched the latest video from DUST, and once again, I found myself puzzled. Their films often have a unique, surreal quality, but this one took it to another level. It felt like there was no clear plot or direction, leaving me scratching my head. I finished watching it and honestly still didn’t understand the intended message. DUST has a knack for creating strange narratives that challenge conventional storytelling, but sometimes that lack of clarity can be frustrating. I appreciate the creativity, but I wish I could grasp what the filmmakers were trying to convey. It's an intriguing experience, but I left feeling more confused than enlightened. Have others felt the same way about their films?

[@tk000]

What am I missing..... The description says half the population was transformed into something other than human - was there ZERO reference to this?? And bob vs god? wth is going on here

[@SimonKelk]

I assume the kid was not 100% human, he withstood the blast yet his sister who was further away was all bloodied.

[@EricHouserecho1284]

The attention to detail is fantastic, keep it up

[@Wulfyr]

That's a really good introduction to a world that needs further exploration. Please let this be the beginning of a larger story. I'm completely invested in these characters and the world they inhabit after that delicious little taster.

[@denijane89]

That one was really nice! I can't believe you managed to stuff it all in less than 7 minutes!

[@y2kanonamous766]

director: supplies department we need things for our set supplies department: well we need to empty out this warehouse for the day. director: yeah just throw it all in this alley.

[@UnicornTracker]

Well that left me wanting more. :o

[@AcapulKero]

Great one! I would see more of this story. Is there a second part?

[@fredmoss3515]

Definitely need a 2nd part !

[@AltPotus]

End of the line for our progeny.

[@nichole8609]

I didn't want this to end, I liked this.

[@TurdFergunson-s9y]

Dust does it again. Love it.

[@ericchild8845]

When can we expect parts 2 - 10?

[@larsstougaard7097]

Before GTA 6

[@40over86]

God. That was bloody depressing.

[@mrbigonbig]

Annnnd of course they leave it off, like that. LMAO! PART 2 NOW!!!!!

[@adammonroeproductions]

Nice one, well directed, something like this should probably be stickied to every DUST video though: these are all short films, usually made for festivals, to get people interested in a project, attract investors, or for the filmmakers to network. Yes, it would be nice if each one told a cohesive story in 6-10 minutes, but thats really, really hard to do. Usually, the filmmaker will find the most interesting parts of a longer script and try to make a short out of a scene or two, in order to showcase their competency and attract further funding or producers. A lot of the time, its completely paid for out of their own pockets, and if it doesnt hit, then the either go onto the next one, stop making films, or attempt to bootstrap a feature on their own. This is how the movie industry works at the bottom. Hopefully, this explains why so many of these shorts end abrupt and/or dont follow a traditional narrative structure.

[@edyak6280]

Crackin’ short…. Really want to see more.❤❤❤

[@joecardenas2562]

Don’t stop now!

[@hopehoping]

Great world-building.

[@charlesmartin1972]

Good hook. Very narratively-efficient use of those 6 minutes

[@tsaucetheking2059]

That kid must of seen some baddies around, because not only did he eat that explosion he hit a pose like it was a minor inconvenience😂😂😂😭😭😭

[@raphlvlogs271]

why were they using elephants to plow the fields?

[@justinklenk]

Because the temp agency was out of woolly mammoths. And besides - they work for literal peanuts. 😅

[@Minyassa]

I'm guessing that whatever this virus did got rid of the traditional plow animals like horses and cattle.

[@pedroi9008]

I was just getting settled when it ended. Is that it, or is it a trailer?

[@toneenorman2135]

Well,that was depressing…

[@Nailnuke]

I don't understand the "good start" comments? There was a beginning a middle and an end, it was clever, atmospheric, well acted, well directed and kept me in suspense. Rarely do I see a short with all these attributes. 5*****

[@robert-yv2yj]

I know it's a strange complaint when praising short movies, but that grabs you by the proverbials and stops. That was powerful entertainment. We'll done. Now can we have part 2?

[@jaymarr6012]

Well that was like kissing your sister.

[@cytokinestorm3074]

[@Nick-McGurk]

wait what.. why

[@ianclegg7409]

Wonder if story could be expanded, good start

[@GunNutproductionsOG]

This had nothing to do with BioPunk. Yes was it well done sure but quite a bit of false advertising

[@SnortCommunityGuidelines]

The details in this short film were off: Dystopian world and there’s a printer? There are freshly printed images used through the entire early part of this short. Costumes were all either too new or so ratty everyone looked cliche. The props were poorly put together for all of the “gadgets.” 3D printers exist… Stop with all the really up close shots and camera movement. Whoever does your sound engineering, wtf? There’s either too much background noise or the characters sound like they’re much closer than the shot would emphasize. You could’ve studied Children of Men for 5 minutes and fixed this whole short.

[@justinklenk]

Agreed - whole list. 👍 (Couldn't help but to compare it to Children of Men, too.) And the unconvincing, cringey actor playing the suicide-bomber - that was unfortunately the worst part.

[@olivier-pierredebelmont.3630]

Some will say:" he is a genius!".....it is always that way in the cinema world...good short.

[@kennethkahn7913]

Sorry, I just don't get it. There was no attempt to explain what was going on. I failed to see any sci-fi aspect. This could have easily been a scene from a middle east border town, including the suicide bomber.

[@JB_68]

so if you thought it could be a middle east border town then you DID in Fact got IT! Unless you dont know what it is that you just said....D'oh!
