I had the pleasure of Grading Seechers, I just wanted to say thank you for all your comments, they mean so much to Director Natalie and her Seecher team! What an amazing platform DUST is, thanks for having us.

The camera is a powerful tool in fleshing out a story and it was used quite well in the set-up of the scenes. I wonder if Natalie has had bites in regards to an interested taker?

There's enough transinhumanist propaganda on Netflix already. Give it a rest. If it's not transcendent spiritual transinhumanism BS, it's sci-tech transinhumanism garbage - but usually both combined... Escapism doesn't have to involve super-humans with superpowers.

_Dust_ is a platform, kind of like a television channel. They kindly provide independent film makers with the opportunity to show their work, but take no part in making the films, which is why they sometimes, but not often, show fms you may have seen on other channels. By the same token, you may see films on those channels that were first premiered on _Dust._

@@KN-pn2lt yeah I know, however I like to think people are kind of exaggerating for the sake of encouraging a bunch of new and upcoming independent artists. Otherwise, I would be very suspicious if these people have ever watched a decent (not even great) short sci fi film. You can easily find a lot of good ones (way better than this one in many aspects) here in Dust. I dunno even if I can call this a short film, becuz it feels more like an introduction (and not a very good one at that) to a longer story. It is 17 minutes of exposition and info dumping about a very non original concept. By the way, I'm trying to provide some constructive criticism here. Cuz otherwise the people who made this piece will be hugely misled by others reactions and comments and won't try to improve their craft.
