INFO
This is the English dubbed version. Unfortunately, the often preferred original language dub (German) with multilingual subtitles, which was supposed to be released along with this international one, had to be cancelled for the time being due to various unexpected complications. We hope this lack of choice doesn't bother you too much and would be happy if you like this short as much as we do regardless. Thank you for being here! ♥

Audio needs remixing, the music and sound effects make the opening narrative inaudible/undecipherable.

[@hkguitar1984]

Thumbs up, thank you.

[@MausMasher54]

Where's the next chapter????

[@acarianu]

obviously a lot of effort went into this short, however I can not understand the choice of mirroring the footage especially with a character that has obvious identifications marks as the sleeve tattoo - and by this I mean, the arm with the tattoos is during the movie either the right one or the left one.

[@kurtdowney1489]

I loved it!!

[@whisthpo]

That, was F g ACE Marcel ! You have Talent. I'm sure Disney would be a lot $etter off with you!

[@heru-deshet359]

You take a little CGI, good actors, a great story and you have this gem here.

[@oddquad2010]

PLEASE, I WANT MORE😎👍👍 Great job, WONDERFUL story and I wasn't kidding I want more !!! Where and when ??

[@acjr3345]

They may need some more financing. You, as myself and many others, loved it and we also want more. They could sell frames to collector fans. Hope they seriously consider it. Let's be in expectation.

[@jeffbawden7901]

Same

[@jeffbawden7901]

I agree

[@braydentracy-mu4tm]

Yeah me too

[@jasonthistlethwaite4597]

Great job! I'd love to see a movie or series of this.

[@StevenWhiteAceGoober]

2nd the motion. Very good acting and a great story line. Would watch.

[@NorthernMouse52]

3rd the motion, l also would like to watch more of this, l was engrossed 3 minutes in and stayed so right through! 10/10 👍

[@Ahmed-jy5zm]

Waiting for a full series of it or a movie! Great work guys👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@siscott6066]

Why hasn't anyone taken this to another level i.e a full blown movie, the amount of Hollywood movie produced these days are crap yet this could be a blockbuster movie in the right hands and investment.

[@raphel3690]

I think this movie will have millions of views someday

[@ancientfilmsofficial]

👀

[@TRIPWIRE330]

Seriously Stellar!!.. Wishing it was a full length movie.. Why can't you..please.

[@light-.-]

How are these short films better then a lot of sci-fi movies on tv Am not complaining tho

[@arkoutarkout3654]

They are not woke

[@bryanrocker5033]

This is worth of a full length movie, it already out does anything hollywood puts out.

[@charlestaylor3195]

That was great. That was either a pilot or a trailer, either way it was the beginning of something good.

[@DanieleGaruglieri]

It's been an honor to write the music for this Short Film. A great experience I would do again and again, the director is awesome. It was a pleasure to work with him. :D

[@ancientfilmsofficial]

Thank you so much Daniele, with you too!

[@armandosousa5535]

What an amazing movie... Great job everyone

[@bretburt7317]

Loved how his tats kept moving from arm to arm. What an unusual super power.

[@jochenschrey2909]

I only noticed his knife switching sides

[@leoscheibelhut940]

Interesting premise, I'd love to see a full length movie or better yet, a series.

[@Johnathonaaron]

Home run, was on the edge of my seat. Felt like an impressive live-action adaptation of Call Of Duty Modern Warfare. This HAS to be made into a full-length film!

[@escgoogle3865]

The sound engineer had fun with this short. I feel blessed to have found it at less than 1000 views. As soon as the algorithm detects this creation, views will J curve.

[@ancientfilmsofficial]

Thank you so much!

[@wilsonrawlin8547]

The voice over guy for the blond dude is great! Well done over all!

[@cassondraannfrost9618]

This needs to be a series or something

[@calistaschatzman9327]

[@edwardwatt9420]

By this time all the survivors would have been using smokeless fire pit fires to be survivors and holding down the light.

[@lonestarcj8132]

Good Cliff hangar.

[@electropanel1211]

This is action I love and it was awsome omg these are the kinds of movies that I crave so please continue part 2,part 3,part 4 more more more.👍👍👍

[@BruceDavidKellock]

Excellent. Hope there is a part 2.

[@derekwilson7453]

My kind of sci-fi keep it up

[@stevenbellington]

amazing job for a first film!! yes a selection for native language with subs would have been nice but the VAs did a great job so it didn't bother me at all. looking forward to more films from you guys!!!

[@ancientfilmsofficial]

Thank you so much! I agree with you that a selection would have been great and that's why it was planned that way in the first place. From now on we will shoot all future films exclusively directly in English, all other solutions are too problem prone as we had to find out but you always learn. I'm very happy that you liked the film! :)

[@icysteve46]

"Shotgun " 🤣🤣🤣

[@vanzelenbrown7834]

Dope Def....

[@3pipper]

Excellent, bravo… encore encore…

[@rustytindog]

[@wongduannabamrung7004]

Love the movie it should be a silver screen, I could not hear the narrator at the beginning the music was too loud

[@ancientfilmsofficial]

Thank you very much! We have not found the volume as disturbing but will pay more attention in the future. Glad you liked the short anyway!
