WOW! That was VERY impressive. Well done to all involved. This had everything; the premise, a tight plot, great camera work, and an unpredictable twist at the end. Awesome. Brilliant.

[@jeffreypvasquezable]

It made me honestly hope my brain would be hacked by the end. Brilliant‼

[@philmprod]

Probably one of the best scripts I've ever seen with DUST. Bravo ! Incredible! And yes, indeed, the adrenaline is pumping. You're quickly caught up in the story. And maybe there are some real things in it. I loved it!

[@Frogdog0007]

This is bloody amazing total work of art high quality. Well done guys

[@patriciafaithfull6360]

Literally my FAVORITE, and I've subscribed for years. Impeccable writing, storytelling, acting, editing, set design. Congratulations 🎉I 🎉

[@ravenontari9511]

This film was keeping me at the edge of my seat. AMAZING.

[@kentwhoo]

This whole premise reminds me of a long ago conversation with my best friend. Our conversation, after seeing the painting “the casting of the rebel angels”. Absolutely, gorgeous.

[@patrickselden5747]

This is a good piece of film-making! ☝️😎

[@MatthewMills-s4g]

Super cool film ,even the imagery at the end. Beautiful

[@gabescardstore]

Best film on Dust EVER. Definitely keeping an eye out for what comes next from the folks that made this!

[@GamiCross]

Oh wow, I remember when I first saw this film years ago and it sent me down the rabbithole of this concept! 😃

[@jonaseggen2230]

Seeing it now again after all this time as a thumbnail put a smile on my face to : )

[@turbojens]

then I wasn't mistaken. The whole time I felt like I had seen this before.😅

[@weishenmejames]

And where are you now?

[@robert-yv2yj]

God that was good. nice twist at the end. well done to all involved.

[@Ktulu789]

How did he record his last moment, save it to a pendrive, put it on an envelope and delivered it to the other guy's house... before getting killed?

[@knock3x]

This may be my favorite of the short films collection on Dust, definitely top 3. It is so well done, so impressive, so complete. Thank you ❤

[@GooseTronics]

really well done, love the twist at the end

[@bjb7587]

Well done. However, the idea that "We could end wars" betrays a misunderstanding of the dynamics of violence. Greed and the lust for power are the drivers for war. The perpetrators use religion to justify and intensify that lust. Also reminds me of the movie *Pi* .

[@Exodusfifteenthree]

And how exactly is religion used now days to promote war

[@TheMariusDarkwolf]

instructions unclear, now having tea with Eris.

[@mybadluckcharm]

Well at least your hand (or something else) isn't stuck in a toaster. Right? Wait, don't answer.

[@Fido-vm9zi]

Unique & creative. Great work!

[@268wrighty]

Excellent, just absolutely excellent.

[@Nailnuke]

Got to this late but so glad I didn't miss it. Excellent in every way.

[@yurn1]

Even if it's been said many times before - but not by me 🙂: Movies in which a good idea is consistently and wonderfully realized to the end are very rare! I am thrilled!

[@Nightbringer2000]

Amazing. I think this may be the best short film I’ve ever seen.

[@adilsongoliveira]

That was freaking cool! Congrats!

[@annetteanderson6845]

I could not look away I wanted to see the results, all went black I found myself flying down a luminescent corridor of light which led me to a dark chasm that was void of sound and space, I awoke and realized I had fallen asleep while watching the the brain hack and my bladder was full at which point I used the bathroom and said to myself Dude What A Trip.

[@scetchport]

Hooooleeee sheeeet.....my brain will never be the same again.... Well done...well done !

[@anonymousduh1424]

That was absolutely amazing!

[@Hyakman5408]

First time seeing this. LOVED it!

[@treyboski8444]

Outstanding. we need more

[@dominion2343]

🎉 Bravo!! This was Brilliant! Loved the ride.

[@glennbrymer4065]

Interesting take on God. I had a NDE in 1971, it was quite something. It is still affecting me today. Meeting God is a very strange trip. Continuing life, after the meeting, is an even stranger trip.

[@gabydewilde]

Damn, good work. I don't think I've seen anything close.

[@우은지-e3m]

OMG I LOVE IT

[@thomasrebotier1741]

I saw a neuroscience talk about how epilepsy induces religious visions. It's real!

[@MrOpenSeseme]

Very much inspired by Primer, well done.

[@Lee-yr4ib]

WOW!!!! STUNNING

[@Nashakell]

Really good one of the best films I’ve watched on dust story really dragged me in to the point I was wondering if I’d actually see god lol great job on the story and presentation

[@jovanarn2686]

"God is a glitch". Edit. End of the movie: God is a migraine 🤣

[@MrBrew4321]

Very interesting plot! Nice work!

[@MultiMarat]

Amazing!...

[@XX_KRAKEN_XX]

The end is so cool btw this one is my fav

[@AndreBellCopywriter]

There was enough telegraphing to guess what was going on ... until that ending. Was sitting here in the dark watching and suddenly got very uneasy. PAUSE!!! LOL

[@Mangolorian-je3eo]

So an exposition dump/sermon is art if it’s atheism, apparently. Why do they always think it’s about trippy experiences?

[@reezlaw]

I managed to watch the whole sequence without blinking, see you in 20 minutes

[@The-Contractor]

Killed it. Awesome.

[@dirkbruere]

Excellent. Having done brain hacking myself, I am impressed.

[@barjouise]

Great movie

[@stevearnold8351]

Great premise and execution

[@skarphld]

I was disappointed. I didn't see God. 😢 And I was all set to establish the 9th Day Adventists. Maybe I have to wait 20 minutes. .

[@ishaqluqmansr.8444]

A Masterpiece ✨️

[@guesswhat-chickenbutt]

Hell yes!

[@showjaymayhem]

amazing

[@CharlesNewkirk-lb6uh]

Sci fi baby! 😮

[@syedshabeer4887]

Fantastic! Gives me Justin benson and Aaron moorhead vibe.

[@ElyneLee]

very impressive

[@sokratiskourtsidis5267]

I'm sitting here 2 days waiting for the hack to take over... That 20 minutes was a lie...

[@saraerack]

BRO that was sick!

[@shobonier]

Amazing!!

[@scotthultin7769]

296 👍's up DUST thank you for sharing 😊

[@Teekay.333]

Psychedelic - Brain hack

[@PDG1956]

How did he lock the front door with a padlock from inside, and how did he send the envelope of information and video of his death after he had been killed? Oh right he wasn't dead after all....

[@generalhacker3638]

Was asking myself the same questions 😊 It only gave me a clue about the plot twist in the end.

[@generalhacker3638]

[@buzzpatch2294]

didnt think i would like it- but i did

[@okancanarslan3730]

amazing film

[@pam1244]

Add a little paranoia and voilà you found god. Or so you think...

[@panaitvalentin3914]

It has some religious themes incorporated in it. Exemples of this are the church and God.

[@panaitvalentin3914]

Nice sci-fi short.

[@maryherl3573]

I SAW GOD! Didn’t understand it all but what an amazing short! 😊

[@kelvingichana2249]

You didn't understand? This is predictive programming of the masses preparing them for the externalisation of the hierarchy,the final great deception,the appearance of the antichrist lucifer himself pretending to be Jesus Christ. So my friend, don't be deceived.

[@Ngrsdti]

Super superrrr interesting OMG

[@Apostate1970]

Total insomnia is fatal within around 40 days or less. You're reduced to a gibbering, catatonic mass in around half that time.

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

✨🧠✨

[@tris2384]

👏👏👏

[@blaiseneyroud7222]

Loved it. Should be a warning to the epileptic persons. But great work

[@felixsmittick9128]

Woo hoo let's go.

[@abgzulkifli]

I lied about diabetes, I don't have any

[@kevinpope7230]

Oh hey, contagious schizophrenia!

[@nicktepuni3916]

That was cool.

[@honoratojrabalos1107]

the universal infinite question of all that for once in everyone's lifetime will always asked within ourselves .. is there a God ? the answer will always depend upon the matter of discovering one's consciousness & why life is existing though

[@MausMasher54]

Sorry, drop the "Found Footage" opening....otherwise...not too shabby....

[@TheNaturalLawInstitute]

Perfect!

[@incognistic]

Years later, still the best movie I have ever seen. Period. So underrated it's crazy ☝🏽💯

[@HMAOO86]

Nice!

[@shubhankardas6854]

except the last 2 minutes where it showed as if they only did the demolition of that house etc.. that kind of killed the vibe

[@cinemartin3530]

I don’t know, maybe there was an excessive immersion in what was happening, but I felt really bad from the ending... it was strange. Although maybe I really almost saw God, I don’t want to check this at all. Other than that, the short was well executed in all aspects. They didn’t even forget to add a plot twist, special effects and even some special message, which makes me happy! In fact, the church is just a tool for controlling the masses, and everyone has known this for a long time. 🤔

[@esshore46Larry-mq9ki]

@cinemartin3530: The same with all government!

[@daniel_wilkinson]

I sure hope DUST gives some of the ad revenue to the original creators.

[@mikewoolie5153]

Looks to me like people making a movie that couldn't come up with any original ideas just effects.

[@КотяБай]

Good ending but ...

[@JonnySublime]

Or maybe I just wanted to make something good for once… My pact with the devil

[@aksh1ta]

I've seen God

[@piotrbrzostowski2685]

Zajebisty

[@jpvanoudheusden]

Who send the envelope to Harper?

[@herds22]

i saw geometry.

[@wilhelmmeyer89]

Well, as stupid as in The Sixth Day scene when the brains is scanned in a few seconds wiht a fake vision tests. But yes, you can make people believe this shullbit.

[@christopherwalter4206]

I feel like I have seen this before

[@wurl]

I've seen myself!

[@geoffforduk]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@augustus2001]

C I N E M A

[@jamesbarry1673]

Dust needs to do some more new work

[@davidyork475]

Nice film - slightly undermined by the fact that there are no gods - but the antogonist of organised religion is real. And well portrayed.

[@xavis_dad]

Yerdum

[@xavis_dad]

Yerdum

[@Apostate1970]

Who is the antagonist?

[@sao-pablo]

​@@Apostate1970butter. Dont trust it.

[@choimdachoim9491]

...what everybody else says here...yeah.

[@gregorytremaine1164]

No One can describe Samadhi. We can only describe The Things that disappear as we approach it. No One can describe Samadhi. We can only describe The Things that re-appear as we leave it. No One can cross The Gate of Gates. So remember to be No One. And when You stand before The Lord, fill Your Heart with Love....and You shall become Everything..........HARI KRSNA! P.S. GREAT FILM! 👍👏🖖

[@YouTube_darck]

Lo estoy viendo y es emocionante:D

[@PippiLong1]

I've been hacked .....
