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!!

[@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...

[@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 😊

[@darcihoudeshell2588]

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

[@BlakeRidder]

thanks Darci

[@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.

[@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 !

[@leandrodiaz7552]

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

[@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.

[@JeffWrede]

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

[@BlakeRidder]

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

[@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.

[@avisionphotography]

Love it! I think it deserves a sequel for sure.

[@raphaelrlfreitas]

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. 👽

[@kevincrady2831]

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

[@Athuall]

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

[@RussellShaw7FilmActorvo]

Ant Sharp- excellent! I first met Ant on the set of Witch in Hungary- he played the role of Edward- he was effortless and didn't over do any of his scenes. Really nice guy and very talented- which was evident on set. I really rate him as a film actor- he lives and breathes each character and totally natural- he's only going to get better. Follow and support this guy!

[@onepercentile]

Absolutely fantastic. Sequel material for sure!

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks 🙏

[@jayaywhy01]

As always, great job! Definitely needs a sequel.

[@tabitham3581]

This should be a movie. Wow! 👍🏻

[@rgerber]

I really don't watch a lot of movies or series anymore but everyone of Mr. Ridders shorts is so good I just wish to see more and more.

[@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 :)

[@donkenmuir9504]

Good film we’re is the rest of it

[@jamesmyers4133]

Yes...well done...great story line...good actors....will be waiting for more

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks James

[@peterharris38]

What a brilliant shortr movie, more please.

[@GinGin88able]

well played sascha

[@beautifulfaith9367]

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

[@robertmint3768]

Dayum! What a cliffhanger! So much potential. Where's Netflix, when we need them?

[@rosechuma2006]

RIP Doctor Watson, wait till Sherlock hears about this

[@BlakeRidder]

😅

[@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.

[@cappsie1]

@@BlakeRidder Please DO keep going. You have enormous potential.

[@BuffOrpington7]

Very good. Left me wanting more, which is the best sign of all.

[@TheWorpler]

Great stuff, looking forward to your next full length film

[@BlakeRidder]

That would be The Manor. Thank you

[@craigvarey9230]

Yes I do think it deserves a sequel. It was very very good. In fact a full film would be even better!

[@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

[@alo5301]

Yeah, a sequel is a must

[@xaviermacri4839]

Such a cliffhanger. We need part 2.

[@itchydragon]

Needs a sequel for sure! Should be a movie or series.

[@BlakeRidder]

hope so

[@UncleRayRayGarageEmporium]

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

[@scetchport]

Bring it ON !!!! MORE PLEASE !

[@BlakeRidder]

Roger that!

[@jameskaraganis2569]

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

[@protonmail2268]

Really enjoyed it hoping there is a continuation :P

[@therealblackflea]

Ah yes, a true 21:9 format upload, thank you very much! 😁

[@BlakeRidder]

I did that just for you

[@littleshaun6243]

Absolutely brilliant really need to see more 👏 also well done anto with the acting mate 🙌

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks Shaun.

[@littleshaun6243]

@@BlakeRidder your very welcome ❤️

[@UnstoppableYaris]

Excellent acting, special effects and storyline!!!

[@paulhynes170]

deserves a series not just a sequel

[@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.

[@bradjohnson9671]

Wow, we need more of this one!

[@lauratheexplora5020]

👏🏻👏🏻 BRAVO! I was instantly sucked into the storyline, I was kept in suspense, this was a great film. Excellent to all! Director, actors and actresses And all the behind the scenes staff!

[@BlakeRidder]

thank you Laura.

[@roninrider1930]

ooh snap i thought the guy on the cell was the Dr, from Voyager lol

[@pnemonic]

Aliens are hunting us, so let's sit outside in the dark and sing Kumbaya

[@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

[@lesmith939]

That was pretty decent. Good story, good acting, and best of all, a good ending. Thanks. Thumbs up on the sequel......

[@crystalclarity6766]

Acting is superior to many Indie shorts. Nicely done!

[@petertyrrell7183]

Incredible! Really love the effects and the tone of the film itself! Well done everyone 🤗

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks Peter

[@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.

[@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

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks. Yea hopefully to make a follow up one

[@AcapulKero]

That was great dude! When will it be continued? I need more!

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks. Hopefully early next year.

Gotta love a hazmat suit and gas mask with your beard sticking out.

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

[@marcburroughs2969]

Definitely needs a sequel

[@Prof.Tarfeather]

Very Suspenseful and would make a great sequel! I want more? Please make more episodes?

[@spectator7216]

Cool. Reminds me of the Shimmer from Annihilation.

Sequel? This makes an amazing trailer for a TV series.

[@joanwallace1373]

Loved it! KUDOS!!!

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks Joan

[@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.

[@KaceyBakerFilms]

Amazing work as always! All boxes ticked!

[@KaceyBakerFilms]

It’s wonderful watching your run and gun talents blossom with each short, rivalling Hollywood studios.

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks man

[@Genpattonjames]

Award winning what? What’s the award? Who gave it to them. Did they give it to themselves?? Confused! 😂 very well done though!

[@funnycastbr3084]

Man, you have to do this a film

[@HappyBear376]

Fantastic, more please.

[@AliChekaouiMovies]

location of first is incredible - where is that?

[@AntoSharp]

Love it! 🎬✌🏼

[@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.

[@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.

How do you only have 50k subscribers? This is on par, if not better than Black Mirror vibes. I would love to see some zombie short films though. The beginning of a zombie outbreak is always my favorite :^]

[@andrewleecy7982]

need a part 2, please.

[@People-are-the-valley-of-Death]

no don't need a sequel - the outcome if pretty evident with the clues supplied = apply yourself to your next piece of art work. thanks

I don't think using an unsecured video mobile phone would be permitted. Just a secure walkie talkie.

[@misteryman526]

FYI - Hazmat masks don't work if you have a full beard. And how did it get to be night? Shouldn't day and night inside the zone last 15 years since the actual Sun is outside the region where time passes faster?
