I don’t understand why this is getting so much hate. A few acting lines are weak but overall I think it’s great considering it only had a $3000 budget. The camera work was the best part in my opinion.

[@cray9868]

Stirling Studios: Yes good camera work but unfortunately marred by a shallow plot, illogical plot devices, and props with which the production crew is clearly unfamiliar as to usage.

[@CinemaJacket]

@@cray9868 I underestimated how much story i could keep, having to trim a 20 page script down to just 13 is difficult. But this is not the end. I intend to someday make this the way I intended. Without school guidelines and the ability to throw a little more money at it. Plus, I've certainly learned a lot since working on this, directorially anyway. Can't wait to take another crack at it.

[@dnsmithnc]

Music was excellent and appropriate.

[@hownow2595]

I think this is my favorite post apocalyptic short film I've seen here on KZbin and I have seen a lot of them. nicely done.

[@CinemaJacket]

how now thanks! We are glad you enjoyed it!

[@DianeHasHopeInChrist]

You should watch "Odeland ". Now THAT is a true film of excellence. This short film had bad acting, was unrealistic. It did have some good elements, but overall, realistically, what female is going to hole up in an OSB shack, with a dead body wrapped up, while she is being threatened by idiots, wearing a stupid cap...lol. Watch Odeland.....and then compare....you'll see a difference in excellence.

[@peterelijah3131]

Check out revelation road just as great dorsen Creek actor unbelieveable.

This is a top-tier postapo short. Very organic, as opposed to over-produced nonsense coming out of Hollyweird. All around well done. But I'm not a movie critic like some of the experts here in the comments.

[@CinemaJacket]

An opinion is an opinion, glad to hear you enjoyed it.

[@technoverse101]

what is amazing is that postmodern technology is enabling virtually anyone to produce and globally disseminate good movies and music at the drop of a hat. I love these homemade movies and the youngsters who mostly produce and star in them. This is so cool

[@CinemaJacket]

One of my favorite things to do is to go back and watch famous director's early movies. Makes me comfortable in knowing even the greats started out small. Keeps me patient.

[@marystar6021]

I was captivated, for that to happen it means, at least for myself, that this was worthy to watch. A sad ending. Some are disappointed that Riley face wasn't shown. It's self explanatory that his face was disfigured. I'm glad the decision was made not to show his face, after all, it'd have nothing to do with his features, just use your imagination on that issue. The story and performances were really good.

[@zxyatiywariii8]

I agree. Awesome film!

[@TheNecropolis20]

at least Nuclear war did not happen in real life if this happens in real life we are all dead i also agree it was a great movie

[@tietjen666]

Being truly alone can be extremely difficult. Clearly, Marza couldn't be alone anymore. Good film.

[@guerrero4348]

All of y'all complaining about the gas mask need to pay attention to the film. The way the girl reacted when she took off his gas mask and after he said "Don't remember me this way" should have given you the idea that maybe his face was disfigured in some way or something and there was an actual reason behind the use of the mask.

[@CinemaJacket]

Just a Mexican I appreciate this comment

[@peterelijah3131]

Yes remember the Bible clearly saids pleages hum what kind ?, Well biols where one kind then we have some with Moses releasing others and in history it speaks of many that are even here now.this one now in .L.A. they made small of the bumds in their street sick Fu like missela not,it's.

Makes you feel. Well acted, executed and written.

[@dylanlong6269]

Finally after watching a whole bunch today I found a good short film. Very good job guys, especially with the story, it felt very complete for its short 12 minute run time. Only gripe I had was that I felt the two older men didn't look enough like they were in an apocalypse. Maybe they were from a precocious camp or something. Anyway, very good job, this deserves significantly more views. I hope I can be a part of something like this one day.

[@CinemaJacket]

Dylan many of the gripes people have, including yours, stemmed from our production schedule and extremely tight budget. But I’m happy to hear you liked our little film! You’ll have to keep an eye out for our Q and A episode.

[@dylanlong6269]

Yeah I can imagine, I think you did amazing with the resources you had. Sometimes smaller budgeted films turn out so much better then anything in Hollywood because you are forced to think about things more. By the way, this short had some of the best shots I've ever seen. The opening scene was fantastic! Also I love the interaction between viewer and creator, you almost never see that with films, I'm excited for the Q&A. Keep it up!

[@hildablanco3837]

[@tracyscott3261]

Sad but a real good story. Awful how people can get. If you keep this story going that would be awesome. Sorry it ended and on a sad note but it was something special. Thank you.

[@CinemaJacket]

The story is continuing in a way... hopefully I can begin production in the next 5 years or so. For now, I’ll keep working on other shorts.

[@wilhelmernst7660]

MY theory on gas masks in all these post apocalyptic movies is - they add mystery and drama, they hide features making the characters less individualistic and therefore more sinister.

[@houcores914]

im watching a little bit late but its amazing one of the best i ever saw ps sorry for my english im from german but i like things like dayz if you heard about it and this is what im looking for great job :)

[@peterelijah3131]

There are 100s of these post trb flicks check out tribulations road 1-3 now this you enjoy. But understand it's an after effect of when their are no more Christian ever. 1000 years of hell on Earth with a real new world order,even Allen's have access to earth the time zone is open to all demonic forces just like the matrix,same but more porfound on human kind demons and all. Then Christ comes to take the earth the planter look at revelation 22:all.

[@joelcordial]

Cinema Jacket Productions you're welcome! Love your stuff keep it up.

[@ThatBisexualOverThere]

I know this is a year old, but I’d like to give my two cents on it. First of all: while it was ok to not see Riley’s face, it could have been pretty cool if we did, latex is easy to use for special effects and there are probably tons of tutorials on it. Second of all: loved the film, it was pretty good, it had some draw to it, making it very interesting.

[@CinemaJacket]

My intention was that we leave Riley’s face to the viewers imagination, but another answer is that we were pushing what little money we had and had 0 time to work on latex effects given we filmed this in 2 and a half days.

[@bnbwhitezombie]

Yeah, this was pretty good. I liked it.

[@fernandochavez4312]

Nice job. Got a lot of story in a short amount of time.

[@frankgon4]

Overall concept was good. Not a fan of Riley being killed, but it plays into the story line.

Those grenades-the ones that go bang for real- don’t have a hole in the bottom.

[@CinemaJacket]

That is correct, unfortunately we had 3 minutes to get the shot and the actor didn’t want to die for the movie so it is what it is.

[@MaxHeadspace9mm]

[@tylersma]

[@galacticpugnation5112]

100/100 THAT WAS THE SONG FROM FALLOUT 4 AND I LOVE THAT GAME!!!!! DUUUUUUUUUDE EPIC ANIMATION

[@CinemaJacket]

Galactic Pug Nation glad you enjoyed it! Yep, we loved that song as well. Surprisingly easy to get the rights to it, record label helped out a ton. As for the fight scene music, it was made by our composer but he used the fallout track you’re referring to as a reference.

[@Thetacticalmedic1]

No, US M17 Pro-Mask... The Com-Bloc mask is gray...

[@franzpeter6859]

you can see on the top of the mask the marker US

[@tc556guy]

What is it with these post-apoc films where some guy wanders around in a protective mask that only works with daily filter changes. Clearly these guys in a post-disaster scenario do not have access to a bunker full of unexpired mask filters, so its pointless to even use the mask.

Cool M46 overcoat. Don't see those in any condition any more. Too bad it has DRMO stitching on it. In order for the M17a1 mask to work you have to wear it against your skin though, wearing that cap underneath it would cancel out any benefit you would get from wearing it.

[@tracyscott3261]

he was wearing it to cover his face. not for breathing through.

[@winnywinnarts]

[@Kevinegan1]

And her post apocalypse press wood box didn't look very old either. I hope they remembered to remove all the Home Depot stickers from the $50.00 of new lumber they used in this ridiculous video. They get a D- for effort, a D- for original story, a D- for creativity and an F- for plot.

[@Wolfrunner27]

[@runasto]

The cinematograhy was good, opening scenes were absolutely fantastic. Seriously one of the best opening scenes from a short i've seen. Very impressed. Most of the acting wasn't too convincing, except from the Riley character. Some of the dialog felt a bit forced. The death scene was visually pleasing, just wish there were a bit more of that. Action scenes are hard to make realistic, unfortunatly, but all in all, well done.

[@RedLegBlazer]

Grenade land perfectly so you can see the hole in the bottom. lol. That was the worst battle plan they could have come up with.

[@CinemaJacket]

Powered by Stupid yep, it’s not perfect. But we did the best we could with the 2000 bucks we scraped together

[@RedLegBlazer]

The rest was great. I didn't mean to shit on the whole thing, and maybe it's just because I'm a veteran that those two things stood out. Keep making movies. You guys have a lot of potential. The reasons for the characters actions makes sense. The motivations were believable. I should have said that first.

[@CinemaJacket]

[@jesseabney8617]

Yeah I know but at one point the girl says " sanity is in short supply these days " or something like that which made me think that she could remember when things were not that way, like pre collapse anyway it was a good film I liked it
