Please stop letterboxing the video. KZbin is capable of handling native 21:9 video. Watching ultrawide video on a ultrawide monitor with black bars on all four sides is ridiculous.

Typical dust bullsssht story. They cant tell a full story so they weave three half-stories together and try to pass it off as artistic. Still dont know the plot or conclusion.

[@dreamersxscape]

For a man that stopped going to the movies, and has not watched TV for the past two and half years, I am enjoying DUST as a replacement...! I enjoy the diverse storylines, especially the Sci-Fi ones. In a short amount of time, they are well developed and to the point...The directors, actors, and special effects are mostly on par with big-budget movies. A big Thanks to the creators of DUST. Keep up the good work in showcasing new talent. Who knows maybe I will see one of these shorts made into a full-length movie or TV show, and I might watch to support it :)

[@thecutestcuck7978]

I just wished they was full movies.

[@Ham68229]

It's called a budget, doubtful they have the money backing like the big movie makers do. But, I do agree, regardless, they make better "movies" than the big screen. Cheers :)

[@MegazoneMusic23]

I totally agree. Some of these stories are very engaging, creative and really great music. (Something for Hollywood to take notice of) Stop constricting screen writers and creative people Hollywood. Because we see what true artists can do when not dealing with corporate driven, cookie-cutter- dribble. Its why I absolutely love Kickstarter and Indegogo.

This is my first exposure to DUST. I’m a Sr. Science Fiction fan. In my view this story is of the captivating quality we had in the Campbell era of paper bound short stories. My childhood buddy and I used to muse about how technology would advance to the point that Asimov, Heinlein, E. E. Doc Smith and the others would be artistically interpreted and presented. Well we’ve lived long enough to see it. Thanks, DUST. I’ll be here a lot!

She didn't play the game to win, she played it to lose; so that her brother could win. This was great. Pacing was perfect, subtle and overt themes mixing together in complementary ways. Tear jerker indeed

[@eleweyter4462]

But she did win it. The ship got destroyed, but the cockpit with her made it in the vortex. Like this she helped her brother to win the game. But with the rest, you were right. Her Brother and she won the game, so they would be together forever.

[@KevinMacaringue]

Instant favourite - that CGI was out of this world and the acting was so powerful! Take a bow!!!

[@fionamcguinn]

Brilliant work of art! Some of these stories are a bit too complicated to figure out just in one watch but in this one, the pacing was a perfect balance between mystery of what's going to happen, what was happening in the story and in what order. Brought bittersweet tears to my eyes, thank you for this experience

[@tombales3320]

I'm a relative newcomer to the short scifi format and am amazed at how well these productions stack up against multi-billion buck major studio blockbusters. Acting, writing, production values ... all of it on a par with anything the major studios can do... priceless!

[@briand7731]

Of course ALL of this project was brilliant, but I wanted to give special shout-out to the Make Up FX team. I'm not an MUA myself but I'm always looking over the shoulder when I can on my sets. These guys killed it- very convincing dried blood smears and scrapes, and the laceration on the nose of "cleaned up" Debbie was absolutely brilliant. I had to rewind a bit because I was so enthralled I missed a bit of dialog. I know it's a small thing, and I'm silly, but I really appreciate details like that. Hope you get to do more!

[@michaelkantner6420]

At first I thought that this was some space related movie, but when I figured it out that it was about a sister's love for her brother, it became an AWESOME story, I love this!!!

CARONTE : Other ways to say caronte. In Greek mythology and Roman mythology, Charon or Kharon is a psychopomp, the ferryman of Hades who carries souls of the newly deceased across the river Styx that divided the world of the living from the world of the dead.
