Do you think this sci-fi deserves a sequel? Don't forget Exclusive and Early Access: patreon.com/blakeridder

[@nataliyakuznyetsova3940]

yes i do... love the over all idea ... and its not bad that the female lead is a real looker :) would really like to see where it goes..

[@nyantakyibannor9328]

yes it does!!!

[@tonybolognamacaroni383]

For sure!

[@robertomainetti4434]

Definitely! This is so original and high quality!

[@lauratheexplora5020]

YESSSS PLEASE!!

[@NewStarConstellation]

Astonishing! Excellent work of both the actors and the crew! And YES, please make a sequel! This has potential! I want to say that I really appreciate your efforts, this channel's content is amazing! Thank you very much!

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks 😊

[@ianthompson8248]

Definitely needs a continuation. Just as I get caught up into the story ....it's over. We need more. Good job.

[@BlakeRidder]

Thank you sir

[@jobloo739]

More please ,more...

[@timberwolf5631]

Dang it, this should be a full feature movie! It's kina frustrating to tease movie lovers like this. :)

[@kepler186f4]

Blake, you always have that polished style, great camera work and excellent use of the lighting to shape the mood, but the most powerful element you use is the viewer's imagination.

[@darcihoudeshell2588]

Wow Blake! I definitely need a sequel. At first I thought this was going to be boring, but then? WOW!

[@BlakeRidder]

thanks Darci

[@robert-yv2yj]

Another entertaining film. I really don't know how you maintain such high standards. Like most of your output it would make a superb series. You do seem to have an amazing pool of actors to draw from.

[@believeinpeace]

This short was so very excellent, more sequels, make it into a movie. Perfect! More please! I love it!

[@BlakeRidder]

Thank you 🙏

[@jomama5186]

This could very easily be a super good full length movie ! The open endings bug me a bit, but good writers, directors, actors, camera crew, music director, you've put a really good team together. That is apparent. I would have loved to see what happened and see more, for sure !

[@charlestaylor3195]

It deserves a silver screen and a sequel. You left the door wide open, there are so many ways this can go. I love time travel. Blake I always say if you have excellent writing you don't need special effects. Got goose bumps at the end. My life won't be complete without a sequel. Missed not seeing your "not ready for prime time players".(quote from SNL)

[@BlakeRidder]

Ha thanks Charles. Will do my best to make it a sequel

[@MisterG2323]

Yeah, I'd watch more of this. Nice work, as always.

[@Athuall]

Absolutely incredible. Outstanding writing, production, direction, cinematography just incredible 👍

[@leandrodiaz7552]

Of courrse we need a sequel! I loved the chemistry of the Main characters!

That is so good. Great work man. Binge watching your channel now. I am writing my first short film and this is so much inspiration.

[@gratitudesacredawakening]

Literally just started doing the same. 🎉 cheers to you. 👽

[@JeffWrede]

WOW!!!! I definately want to see a movie! Great concept!

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks Jeff. It would be an awesome world to go into.

[@kevincrady2831]

This is a great pilot for a series! Please continue!

This should be a movie. Wow! 👍🏻

[@jayaywhy01]

As always, great job! Definitely needs a sequel.

[@lutherdrummond9514]

Very good in terms of writing the suspensive story, directing, casting, and site shooting. The more scientific elements, the better it will be for a next episode. Agree?

[@BlakeRidder]

Yes :)

[@renekingfisher9065]

Was not expecting that from her. Kudos on this. Is there a part 2 or 3 in the works? Or even a movie?

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks. I hope to make a part 2 yes

[@beautifulfaith9367]

Very nice 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Do another one 😁 Thank you !!!!!! Texas

[@DKFilmStudiosLLC]

Not bad. I feel there could be a sequel to this film. I feel like there is so much more to explore in the world, that it would warrant a sequel. Especially with that bombshell at the end of the film. Definitely would watch a sequel if one was made

[@xaviermacri4839]

Such a cliffhanger. We need part 2.

[@cappsie1]

Blake! You really know how to keep us hanging! "Do you think this sci-fi deserves a sequel?" Ya think?! Bears and woods spring to mine. Seriously, though. That was really, really good. You're really surprising yourself, here. Don't forget us lowly fans when you are catapulted into Hollywood! 😁😁😏

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks a lot. It’s the fans like you that makes me keep going. Thank you.

A beard and respirator don't work. The wiskers prevent a seal. Other than that detail, well done.

[@paulhynes170]

deserves a series not just a sequel

[@41divad]

This appears to be a sort concept test? Well, you got it down. That would explain the quick changes of situations, understanding and scenes. Do you have the wherewithal to create longer? Thanks

[@funnycastbr3084]

Man, you have to do this a film

[@BadMonkeyTouring]

I'm always watching for continuity issues when I watch something. Right at the beginning, I see some. The guys is covered up in a hazmat suit to keep from being contaminated, but not only can you see clearly into the gap of his suit, around his mask, but you can see his beard from under the mask, so basically the hazmat suit is useless.

[@shauntreadwell7028]

I am a big fan of Sci-Fi.. this was amazing!

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks Shaun. More to come

[@buzzpatch2294]

[@andrewleecy7982]

[@cyrild.3205]

Yes ! I have seen the "cliffhanger" before it happens ...but the movie is appealing and we want to see the following :)

[@ruffrider2626]

Best line ever, "You can take that mask off. The air is safe." ❤❤❤

[@BlakeRidder]

thanks

[@BonannoCM]

Not that it matters in a movie. In reality, facial hair, let alone a full beard, makes a gas mask unable to establish an airtight seal. The mask becomes basically useless.

[@vladdracul5072]

@@BonannoCM Not true. In my time in the army we learned how to seal it sufficiently even with a full beard. It's tedious but possible, and maybe they don't teach that anymore these days. Of course you have to wear the mask correctly, not like this guy whose whole chin as exposed.

[@BonannoCM]

@@vladdracul5072 I too was in the military. The USA Navy to be precise. Anyone required to use a mask, or any other breathing device by reason of their duty role, had to be clean shaven. No exceptions. There are many things onboard ships that can kill you quick, or very slow years later, if they burn. Even masks used for mundane tasks like spray painting require a good seal. What you think is safe now with a beard, you will pay later in health problems down the road. Making movies? Probably not.

[@vladdracul5072]

@@BonannoCM I've been a commercial sailor for 22 years after my service in the army and I'm practiced in the use of a breathing apparatus which is kind of different from a gas mask as it generally just needs to supply the wearer with air while firefighting. In the army the instructors told those wearing a beard to grease it when wearing a simple gas mask in order to seal it. Not the perfect solution but it works in a pinch.

[@koroplays3200]

If you need a full face dust mask(gas masks and gas mask props aren't really that expensive so idk why you used a dust mask) then you shouldn't be drinking from an open bottle. You should use a in built drinking system.

[@joanwallace1373]

Loved it! KUDOS!!!

[@wealthychef]

Not bad, I've seen some real crap lately on KZbin and this was actually a cool premise nicely done in a short movie.

[@jameskaraganis2569]

Many ways this could go. Yes, definitely deserving of a sequel (or sequels) and I would put money down on Patreon for that.

[@creativeleo]

Would love to see behind rhe scenes of this film

[@BlakeRidder]

kzbin.infoRvf6LJxNb_8?feature=share

[@JMacify]

Air Filter face mask with a beard was a bad idea, this is why the military makes soldiers shave everyday, so they can get a good seal on their mask. The story was pretty good but moved along a bit slow. In a full movie that would work but in a short clip to get attention, you might want to get to the interesting part sooner.

[@Sxvxn]

Loved every moment :) will there be more?

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks. I hope so.

[@MatthewBaileyBeAfraid]

Wrapped-up in a Hazmat Suit, but the beard is exposed, and when he “opens” some (I presume) water, he exposes it to everything he is supposed to be protected from, before drinking it. The Hazmat Suit, at that point, is more of an imposition to the wearer’s mobility and perception, given that he is so exposed to the environment. If you are going to do Nuclear-Bio-Chem Modes of Protection (likely an outdated term) with an Environmental Protection Suit, then it needs to be hermetically sealed, with any water and food INSIDE the suit, with him.

[@Gary-Seven-and-Isis-in-1968]
