Sci-Fi Short Film "Strong" | DUST

[@visitingyu3556]

I felt the passion and love the daughter has for her very sick mother. I'd like to see this story to its end.

[@whisthpo]

I see 'Elysium' has inspired you, in this. If You Jean (and Team) can produce this Quality in 9 minutes. Imagine what you could do with 90? Your Future is Bright The Future is 'Strong'. Ms Nancy is a Natural Actress!

[@JeanElizabethLee]

THANK YOU for watching and for all the wonderful comments! Awesome to have viewers like you

[@matthewdenckla6567]

Well done! Cheering for the main characters!!

[@SylerHusky]

Really amazing work, again another short of many I'd like to see make it be more. Inspiring filmmaker to another, what was one of your biggest challenges in the making of this film?

[@AcapulKero]

Nice to meet / read you. This was an excellent short. Will there be a second part? pd. Happy New Year!

[@Datan0de]

I really, really like this, but it ended too soon and too abruptly. This should be followed by the opening credits, not the closing credits! You've given us a first glimpse of an interesting world, characters to root for and care about, and shown the first step of their struggle in an allegory that's timely and important. Now what? I really hope that there's a followup.

[@docwilson5384]

Amazing job and great acting...Peace

[@AppNasty]

One thing I love to do is come here, read only the title and look at thumbnail then hit play. Read no comments nor description. Then let whatever story happen. Sometimes you get to follow a wondrous journey such as this film. Amazing how it actually speaks truth with what some go through today. 10/10.

[@michaelmacdonell4834]

First movie I've seen that uses a bunch of original sounds - and it works so very darned well.

[@snoopy0155]

It's a very good short! But the story even begins at the end..

[@jasonhenderson3678]

An impressive short that young actress did very well best of luck in the future

[@crucial0072]

This is pretty relatable to today.

[@postlemon2993]

acting quality theme story everything top notch . whatever the year or century there will be a democratic Leader and poverty . Nicely done . thanks

[@ScottM1973]

I'm jaded by a lot of these videos and thought the wormhole was going to close just as they got to it.

[@teremtak9953]

No point making it too obvious. Kudos to the director to leave this ambiguous ending: Did they get there on time? If they did - was it as good as promised or not really? It could go in so many directions and leaving this so open ended makes us think... and make this very engaging. A great Thank You to the team who made it - it was very good.

[@angusorvid8840]

Wow! I absolutely loved it! Very powerful! Very intense! Very well done! I'd love to see a sequel, a full-length movie. I'd pay to see it in theaters again and again and again.

[@carolinekelly1769]

Wow...this little film actually made me cry! Amazing story...very well done!

[@pauldavey]

OMG great acting, great storyline. Superb,

[@AuspexAstarte]

“Elysium”-esque plot is always welcome. Cool concepts and always welcome themes

[@mah7961]

Was thinking of the same thing for the first couple of minutes in. Minus Matt Damon. Still good short flick though.

[@badmojomojo501]

One of the best thing about these shorts , is that it's out of context and you don't get a clear answer of what the ending might be , leaving it to the viewer to imagine what happened.

[@beautifulfaith9367]

Oh don’t stop there!!!! Want to see them in their new home 😁 Thank you that was great. 💜💥💙💥💜

[@NickUncommon]

I had trouble understanding what was said, the music was louder than the audio track of the dialogues.

One of the better new videos. Quite appreciated the lucky or beckoning robot 😊

[@Theveganshift77]

Loved it. Hispanic characters like myself. Awesome. Tremendo, gracias.

[@Short-Cipher]

Wonderfully executed sci-fi analogy of the immigration debacle today, around the world but the USA Southern border in particular. Very moving. TY.👏

[@OMGAnotherday]

It’s why we need to make everywhere better for everyone, and then no one would need to run away from their homelands, migration would then be done as a matter of preference rather than necessity. Let’s hope 🌅

[@aarons7975]

@@OMGAnotherday making things better starts at home, FIX YOUR PROBLEMS, stop bringing them to other lands and infecting them as well. people create the hells they are in, then run like cowards to a 'new better world', but bring the same stupidity along with them, and ruin the new paradise they ran off to.

This year starts with another excellent short. I would like to see more of this story, even a movie would be great!

[@durasaxon5131]

Amazing Love. Incomparable. Unquestible. Determined. Possibly the very last to Transit the wormhole. What happens next? I'd like to believe since the IGC is damaged, a rescue team will be forthcoming and arrival on Super Terra? I just believe that the IGC will fulfill its mission. Mom will get well, too. + Durasaxon + ✝️

Fantastic synth audio track!

[@johnl4469]

What an awesome short!! Congratulations to all involved. Bloody well done!

[@danielhanawalt4998]

Nicely done. Enjoyed your film. Could have been longer, as in a full length film.

[@alanshields8036]

Very surprised no one has done this before. Excellent, well done.

[@mykemech]

While this was well written and is a great short, Elysium with Matt Damon was like this story.

[@pulsarecho1952]

Really good one.

[@wildgoosedreaming1]

@jabberwocky1707 Definitely "The exspanse".

[@russhall856]

Excellent acting!

[@RealBradMiller]

Wonderful! Loved the sound design. Hope the copilot ended up in the computer of the ship somehow, the mother gets the help she requires, and that daughter keeps shooting for the stars.

[@n1vg]

Subtitles (for the English parts) or maybe a tweaked audio mix would really help. I can't make out most of what the robot is saying.

[@JameyAston]

Odd. The robot was the only speech I could understand. ALL the Spanish was buried under other sounds.

[@randal4776]

I am watching the launch vehicle they used to enter the wormhole and I'm thinking that it is today's technology. Travel by such vehicles could be commonplace. Not to go into outer space but from one city to another. The F35 aircraft uses that same technology. Shuttlecrafts are here if companies choose to develop them.

[@RustyNeverSleepz]

This was so good

[@IvanStepaniuk]

The people craving for "an ending" should probably stick to Disney Channel. Great content there.

[@snoopy0155]

Nothing against Disney channel, but there all storys ending well. What happens after the passthrought? Without energy? Without hope? They made it to the new earth - and chrash into the nice park. But before most of the vessel vaporised in the athosphere...

[@IngoSchwarze]

@@snoopy0155 All you say seems likely. Then again, maybe the autopilot was actually smart enough to abruptly switch off all energy consumption exactly the instant the trajectory was right, rather than letting it run out. In that case, there might still be enough energy left to rendezvous with an orbital station, which i assume New Terra is likely to have. Let's hope they is still hope left...

[@daliaamr9075]

Great idea !!!!

[@ericchild8845]

Awesome. Very relevant and timely in sight of our current human condition. Excellent production, effects and sound! Thank you for posting!

[@wakingohiomama9110]

Let me say this: I LOVED THIS!!! Please PLEASE make this into a mini-series!!!! I could watch this every week!! Also the effects were OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@omniboros4397]

Nicely done, plot is almost straight out of "Elysium" though.

[@robertjudy9135]

Loved it. I wonder where they’re going to end up?

[@danabana8121]

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Flawless. This is most definitely one in a million. 🤩🤯👏👏👏👏👏 The work put into this, holy heck. I haven’t been so smitten by a dust short in many many moons. (Absolutely NO disrespect to ALL independent creators, please don’t get me wrong here.) This is hopefully the start of more to this story. WELL DONE. Accolades 🎉

[@hilaryc3203]

Some commenters are complaining of a lack of and ending, but does it really have no ending? Is the story actually one of success or one of hope? I side with hope, because as we all know migration attempts fail every day and people die, but the hope was born of the individual story for all of them. Hope is the story and the hope is why people try to migrate again and again, because which is better, to die trying or to die a coward. With Hope...people can live, but they also can die with their light shining inside.

[@Telorion]

The end is only the beginning 😃👍

[@b.j.hinote4301]

I wanted more. Good one

Finally, a google ending dust future story.

[@darrellhagan6124]

Someday I will learn. Like most all modern videos, no conclusion here. Did they make it?. Did mama survive and get cured or not?. Why must these things always end with unanswered questions?. Nevertheless, very good work. Thank you :)

[@jkyoft78]

I liked this. Well paced. Good story, although I expect the mother would say 'go without me'. I laughed at the end...I was expecting the wormhole to close up on them right at the end, before they make it through.

[@ApostleRon]

OMG go thru the wormhole. Don't stop and look at it. It might close!

[@JameyAston]

So, critique:. The acting was actually not too bad. Lots of Elysium comments here, and I agree. The audio mixing was not good. I could barely hear most of the dialogue (oddly, all the Spanish parts). The only dialogue I could understand was the robot. BTW, I'm quite certain that robot is a dressed up version of one of those wavy paw cats you see at Chinese restaurants. Kudos for using what you have for props. As for the message, here's the deal. It was obvious, and that made it bad. The BEST art buries its message under the art. This one was pretty obvious. Even the robot had a Hispanic accent. Subtly is your friend, otherwise things just get preachy. All that negativity aside, I liked it. The special effects were fine as far as I'm concerned. The acting was fine too. Soundtrack was acceptable as well. I thought the wormhole looked pretty good.

[@Windrider6]

Good animation, good audio, good subtitles. Story generally great with only a couple of things that don't make sense or fit with science.

[@mbunds]

The ship looks like Lonestar’s Winnebago on Spaceballs.

[@tosvus]

Very good! The only thing that is a bummer is the FX with the ships flying on earth. It just looks artificial.

I suppose it was cheaper to make only 2/3rds of a movie and call it done. To pretend it is arty in some way to leave the final resolution to the viewer.

[@mikeellis9720]

It's an acceptable style now. I don't care for it. But this was more finished than others I've seen.

[@BearOnTheMoon]

Hope... the one thing that enables humans to do the impossible, while at the same time ends up killing more people then anything else. The obvious immigration plot aside. It blows the mind that one day, kids might actually be able to patch together working spaceships from stuff they find in a junkyard.

[@berjo77]

Stay home, fix yourself, your education and criminal records to the best of your ability. Then, pay your fees and wait. It’s the rule in nearly every modern nation on Earth. It’s a hassle for good people, but the rules are to protect the good people from being swarmed, molested, robbed, killed and set ablaze. Australians are not allowed to swim into North Korea to defecate on their flag, are they? No. Rules are laws, break them and suffer the consequences for decades, or life.
