Sci-Fi Short Film "Red String of Fate" | DUST | Online Premiere

[@l_ovina]

Hey guys, Im one of the co-directors of Red String, I also play the android. If you have any questions about the production, comment below and ill answer them. Also massive thank you to DUST for having us. We're really happy to have a home for this short.

[@berjo77]

This was lovely! I’ve been in-love married twice, with four extremely loved daughters (two grown, two elementary students) and as happy as I’ve ever been. The story you’ve built is a rare piece that can explain real love. Actually “I’d rather be bleeding than seeing you bleed” love. Thank you, I know it was hard work and it’s on its way to be very appreciated! Both actors deserve massive kudos, beautiful, real, relatable feelings right at the skin!

[@KRhetor]

Did any specific science fiction authors or stories inspire your movie?

will there be a part2 ?

Why does she cry like Amber Heard?😜 Great job with the short.

[@hououinkyouma5372]

This was a beautiful short. You guys did an amazing job.

[@christopherharris6145]

A complete, fully actualized tale in nine minutes. The two actors had me fully involved immediately and left me at the end, wanting their story to continue.

[@lancegraphics]

So happy to hear that. Thank you very much.

@Jam Hi Jam thank you for watching :) I used After effects for all the VFX

[@lancegraphics]

@@johnpatrick3718 Thank you very much

[@jerrysstories711]

I was very curious, how much of the set was VFX? I thought some of this might be greenscreened, but then I realized the secondary light effects were spot on, so it's either not greenscreen or its very well adjusted for.

[@lancegraphics]

@@jerrysstories711 We actually didn't use any green screen. That whole workshop was where the guy how built the robots worked. He had designed the walls and adjusted the location to fit our filming

Most excellent work! Beautiful actors telling a tale of real, actual “I’d die for you but won’t die quitting” kind of love. Yep, tough old grandpa brought to tears. I love my wife this way, I love my four daughters this strongly. You guys made something wonderful!

[@Comicsluvr]

I'm giving the actress the highest praise that I can: At no point did I think of her as anything but who she was supposed to be. She never once appeared to be an actress. She was always 'the girl trying to save the android'. Well done!

One of the best shorts Ive watched in a while in terms of both the story and the quality of the acting. VERY Well done!

[@lonesomephreak69]

One of the top DUST shorts I've seen, and I've seen around 100 at least. A+, especially the emotionally ending.

[@carycoller3140]

There are SO many Dust videos that are better than this one. This isn't horrible, but it's not even in the top 25.

[@isysa6389]

I've been a fan of DUST for a few years now and have seen most of their Scifi shorts. With that said, This short film is now absolutely in the top 3 of my all time favs. Within 9 minutes, the creator of the short, Lovina Yavari, has established fully actualized characters with depth and emotion, all set place in a believable world. Political points have been made, new concepts introduced, and a well thought out twist that makes sense in a sci-fi-fantasy. The acting is superb, so natural that we can relate and so within seconds we are invested in the character's journey. I have given up on high budget mainstream shows because they fail to do this and yet this 9 Minute short nails it. Not to mention the set design, felt so real that when I initially watched this short I had strange dreams about it for days. I hope to see more from this production team!!! With elements of feminism, racial equality, and support of LGBT I know they have the right minset to create relevant and epic content. Thanks DUST for hosting this film, love love love it.

[@l_ovina]

Thank you sooo much Isys, youre too sweet. Im honored to be in your top 3.

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

Great film, I empathise with the R2D2 type robots and androids, I always feel really sad when I watch films or read books with robot characters. The android is really nice too. She really cares for the girl, I don't know why but I am only halfway in and think I will end up crying about this. Aw happy ending, loved your android Dani and the whole cast really!

[@johnfernandes2338]

Beautiful story about human relationship with an Android. Technically and visually exquisite and realistic. Excellent film.

[@lancegraphics]

Thank you very much John. I glad you enjoyed it :)

Finally!!! A dust with a happy ending.

[@danielhanawalt4998]

Well done. The part about human blood being the catalyst was interesting. I've always thought there's something about blood we don't understand.

[@t.me_s_petizioni_2220]

"Blood is a very peculiar juice" is a sentence of Mefistofel in Goethe's Faust, and there is a R. Striker's lecture that someone titled with this sentence.

[@karinriver9502]

Ultimately makes no sense. Still makes me cry 💜 I wish you all had found some way to explain what you meant by "eating" for the android in this context. That said, I'm *still* crying. Good job on every aspect of this short beside the eating problem. You and your film were very effective. Hoping you're making more, and that I have the good fortune to bawl over all of them 💜

[@SilverhawksFan]

This short brought me something I didn't want, but that I also never knew I didn't want: Tumblr teen "sci-fi".

[@txbluesguy]

Excellent plot, dialogue, and acting. I am impressed. I would love to know more about the world you 'created' for this story. I hope you create more stories in your world.

[@lancegraphics]

Thank you very much I am really happy to hear that. We are currently working on a feature version as well as planning other shorts within the world with other characters. We also have other robots that weren't featured in this short that we would like to use in our other films. One of the films we were inspired by was Hardware, since everything took place in one location we tried to make it very visual and interesting as well try to show Sam spent a lot of time there (with garbage piling up) as well as establish that there is a lot going on in the outside world through the news on the radio.

[@TheFachen]

the robot going 'nope' at the ghost story radio station was hilarious

[@MrMakulit1959]

[@wafikiri_]

Souls are not just mentioned, but an essential part of this short film's plot. By definition, the physical world consists of everything that follows natural laws. By definition, the spiritual world consists of everything not material that makes physical world things behave against natural laws. An obvious contradiction that renders the spiritual world an empty set.

[@gothboschincarnate3931]

If one is to understand the great mystery....one must understand that were greater then the sum of our parts and that the natural physical laws actual spring from and are governed by the metaphysical.

[@wafikiri_]

@@gothboschincarnate3931 You don't seem to know what metaphysical really means. Metaphysics is not grounded on reality. It's just philosophical. You cannot ground theories on thin air. One must NOT understand that we're greater than the sum of our parts. What we SHOULD understand is how the sum of our parts makes things like, e.g., life and mind surface. The natural physical laws just exist, they are not governed by anything. They are just the way material things behave. They make the material world a closed system, one that admits no interference from other worlds. That's what makes the spiritual world empty. Life surfaces from chemical elements because of their mutual relations, relations that permit that elements form molecules and molecules interact in what are called chemical pathways. Complex interactions. Not so long ago, people could not explain such complexity and believed a mysterious 'force of life' had to be present for there to be life. Now we know better. Before that, people also believed in a 'spirit of fire' that made things burn. No longer. Nowadays, most people believe there is a mysterious 'soul' that animates humans and lets them think and feel emotions. Also this belief will change. Myself, I've solved how brains manage to model an individual's environment (body included) into inter-related concepts, thus generating understanding, how such a model organizes memory, and even how and why brains create fiction; and why and what for emotions arise from nervous systems (emotions, called 'affection' in neuro-science, are the bodily manifestations of the classification of current states of the environment into different situations: a final stage, the highest level of environment modeling in animals). Of course, it is all grounded on the material world, nothing else is necessary. I'm writing an article on that, 'The Texture of Cognition.' When people learn the whys and hows, they no longer have any need to believe in mysterious, unexplained, unexplaining artifacts.
