More About "The Emissary":
Liv Laika departs from her life, her love, and from the aging earth in search of her ancestor's people, who fled the earth nearly a century prior. Arriving at the distant, icy gas giant, Yaghan, Liv embarks on a systematic search of any sign of her people, yet is met only by barren moons and radio silence. Day after day of isolation forces Liv to come to grips with the cost of her decision to leave the earth, when suddenly, a glimmer of hope sends Liv on a frantic journey to one last uncharted world.

Far from being boring, The Emissary was published years ago and became a KZbin classic for all of us who struggle to fall asleep or reconcile life and dream of long interstellar trips, where the discovery of the exterior and interior is the engine that makes our imagination lift off. The introduction, development and ending are executed with masterful rhythm. Awakening from the tranquility and oneirism throbbing emotions of hopelessness and hope through the failed and not so failed attempts at communication, at meeting. The special effects are extraordinary and the performance is excellent. Many thanks to Bryan Tan and his team for their work and gratitude, but most of all for the result. Now we are set above the stars ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Many thanks to the DUST channel for this library of dreams that will outlive us.

Some girl, a cosmonaut judging by Russian writing to the door, an emissary, is going to some planet 100 lights away (???), by the way, they lost the war, but they can send an emissary, and just a part where she searches for some human beings and...nothing more... Are the human at all? Were they friendly or not? I have seen many of those short movies, and this one is not of the best of them.

Sigh. I started watching Dust around 3pm with every intention of one or two episodes and then going to the gym. It’s now 1030pm and I’m still at the “ok, just one more” stage. I suppose the gym IS open 24h - but just one more. I love the profound statement at 3:48 of ‘I have no original thoughts…’. It can be used or said or told in so many different ways; I never took it negatively, as in or if no one is truly unique. Instead it gives me comfort that humanity has so much in common with itself - we love, protect, learn, organize ourselves justly, care, do not want to be alone. And I’m human.

Amazzzing, realistic and livable ship! I was constantly stunned that this was not a regular movie set. I liked that it wasn't too slick and clinical, and I LOVE that her bed had a canopy of glass with leaves growing over it (well, until I realised it was a TV type screen -- which was a cool thing as well). I'm not artsy enough to appreciate the slow and reflective type of script, though -- I wanted more substance and progress. But I enjoyed the mental escape of sharing her life on the ship. Details like the leaking tap, manual switches (instead of touch screens) and tiny garden areas were so believable.

Incredibly well done! I loved the details of the spaceship which looked absolutely nothing like the Star Trek reboot - I mean push pins holding up sheets of paper on a bulletin board in space for God's sake! Not a single camera flare to be seen. Unlike many of the commenters I love the quick hit of the short form. Short stories have always been my personal favorites in science fiction. I'd much rather watch 10 or 15 or 20 minutes of an intense story with an ambiguous ending than 2 or 3 hours of endless drivel trying to make a point and failing. I don't know the economics of making shorts and I hope for financial success for all the film makers, but pretty please keep making these short films.

This is a fantastic short. I guess that is why this has popped up 6 times as new.

Thank you Bryan Tan! Quite possibly the best short I've ever seen on Dust! You will have a storied career in this industry; I'm sure you gained a great deal of attention with this! I loved the open (use your imagination, viewers!) approach to the ending! I look forward to whatever projects you have going on!

This was one of the better short films DUST presented, the singular narrative is well explored and overall this is very enjoyable. The set design is amazing and the CG is incredible, totally breathtaking. Definitely one of my favorite Short Films. A few things I would have liked to see would be: Special clothing that she would wear like the astronauts on the ISS have pants with stripes etc. The flashbacks strongly help us understand the emotions being conveyed although diversity in location, mood, and content of each flashback would have been nice. Lastly, I would have loved to see a glimpse of the other civilization, maybe a black figure, maybe a hand peeking out to give a handshake, or something like that. I felt that the entire movie built up to this moment and we, the spectator, do not get to see anything. In my opinion, we are left hanging a bit too much.

This was very well done. This absolutely deserves to be expanded and finished. I felt a little upset, but only because I was quickly immersed in the story, only to have it cut off suddenly. Please finish this story for us and share it with us.

Dang, I loved the old avionicson on the dashboard!!! Beautiful choice! The camera angles, pan shots and transitions were absolutely perfect! The plot kept me guessing and the actress kept me glued. (The over-eating in the early shots was a bit overdone. But, I'm on a diet). So wanted to see... well, I better not spoil it for those who read the comments before watching.....

This would be an excellent job for me! I thrive on alone time. Im pretty reclusive and only social when I absolutely have to be. I could imagine the ship starting to feel like a cage after an really extended period though😐 This was a great movie High five😎

I thought it was a converted RV until I read the creator's notes. Great film! As an Evangelist, I always wonder what I will say. Never what was intended. An open door, or a invitation for the remission of sin. Heart needs hearts, spirit needs spirit. When face to face, there's no words to communicate spirit. Good luck on your journey. Keep reaching for the stars... 😃🤐💫🌈☯️☮️🖖🕊️

Must be hard to get a date if you aren’t spoken for yet: “So Bryan, where do you live?” “In my parent’s basement.” “And what pray tell do you do all day down there?” “Oh, I gather old airplane parts and build spaceships!” Kidding aside, one of the few shorts I didn’t FF. The pacing worked for me as a way to bring the narrative it’s full import, though I do like a bit more action from a sci fi. Great work.

Haha! That was a phase for sure, but I am out of the basement these days. Thanks for watching. I'm there for the action sci-fi as well if it's got a good story.
