As a programmer who regularly uses text-based interfaces, this wasn't total BS like all of Hollywood is. Wonderful job!

Agreed 100%! Those fancy graphical "interfaces" in scifi movies, and even in modern era onvestogative shows like CSI, NCIS, Criminal minds, etc just cheese me out.

What does mom do when she realizes the guys are gone? How long does that take? Sounds like it could be a good arc. If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Is Tom Holland too old or expensive to play the lead? How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Or did they turn on a program that turned the drones aggressive to people who messed with them? How has this happened before if they just turned on the setting? Theres obviously an entire underground group devoted to fighting delivery drones gone bad. So did everyone in that group hack the drones, turn on that setting and then get attacked first? That just doesn't make sense maybe im missing something. Of course it all needs more context I guess but that just seems convoluted.

i want a full movie. if i was a millionaire i would invest so much into this film

[@bluehorse4217]

I fucking know right

[@jeremiahn.2718]

I wouldn't, concept is cool but the story is very rushed and confusing. Cgi is good but I'd take story over Cgi, CGI you can invest money in but more money won't make the story better.

[@Affe71]

Aaaaand that's why you're not a millionaire

This has more potential than most of the stuff coming out of Hollywood nowadays. Thanks for sharing.

[@leslieannmartinez5479]

The first scene got me like "where's the skip ad button"😂

[@alanvelazquez7042]

I'm not sure what would get me more upset. The part where drones can shoot at the customer or the drones just dropping my package in the middle of the street. LOL Like dam! the future has some really crappy customer service.

[@keelahrose]

This is so professional looking even without the addition of Jude Law. I hope it gets you an agent and a feature deal and all that good stuff. Good luck and I can't wait to see the full film one day!

[@sparksycat]

Like an episode of Black Mirror. True quality.

[@SonyEnthusiast]

The best so far was that doctor who turned pain from his patients into pleasure

Not a TV series. Those always turn into soap operas.

I can't get over how absolutely fantastic this has turned out! 10 minutes on the edge of my seat. Idea, story, cast, sound and visual effects on point! Total perfection. And yes, we need this to be made into a full-length feature or better even, a show. This proof leaves you wanting more and the level of suspense is binge-worthy. Outstanding work!!

[@CalmLotus]

Wow, this short movie had me on the edge of my seat. Brilliant work. 6 years of full dedication. The story behind how you got Jude Law to accept and help you out with those few lines at the end is just remarkable. I believe your passions and bold actions will take you far. Keep it up.

[@msci3067]

This is amazing, this is one of the most well-executed sci fi shorts I have ever seen. This NEEDS to be a full length movie.

[@emmadaley313]

damn. i got so zoned into it that i forgot this wasnt a full length film :(

[@PhilipMaiwald]

Awesome! It has definitely been worth waiting for this. Thanks to the whole team. Story is catchy and you've built up such a good tension. And that's Jude Law?!! Hope you can tell the rest of the story in a feature movie!

Yes! That IS Jude Law!

[@BlendThatFilm]

As someone who listens to filmmaking podcasts everyday this ticks all the boxes of what they they talk about when it comes to proof of concept shorts. You have a great concept, it’s produced well, full of wow factor, well acted, fantastical theme, you can see where it will jump off to, has a named star (and a big one at that) already has great marketing in place etc etc. If this doesn’t get you ‘in rooms’ then I don’t know what will. Well done to all involved.

[@cpichado]

[@masterxeon1001]

I'd watch that on Netflix. Or amazon video. Epic work Colin. So techy. I love it. Keep on keeping on bud!

[@EugeniaLoli]

This is actually a rather ugly thing to say to a filmmaker. It means that you're not willing to pay for it on a theater (or renting it for streaming). Most filmmakers want their movies in theaters or in stores, not on wall gardens.

[@masterxeon1001]

@@EugeniaLoli Well I definitely meant it in terms of the length. Id see Colin wherever I could. When I say netflix is because the length and premise reminds me of Black Mirror. However Amazon Video has Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams which wasn't bad either but a different look to it. I meant no insult to Colin. I'm rooting for him!

[@RuthwikRao]

@@EugeniaLoli it's fine you probably don't know who you're replying to lol. Masterxeon is one of the most well known contributors to the Blender community (blender was used for the CG in this short) and he has been supporting the development for a while now, so there's no reason to think the intention behind him saying this is to not financially support the art in whatever form it takes. He develops amazing addons (Boxcutter and HardOps) and from that money, he gives back to the community and in the same way, because of the nature of how encouraging and close knit the community is, financial support for the people of that community (of which Colin levy, the director here is) becomes a no brainer really.

[@clairemarshallsounddesign2110]

Incredible work. Hope to see the film out soon!! V Black Mirror-esque

[@DrRaven0]

I'm not sure if someone else already mentioned this, but have you thought of making a pitch at Netflix or Amazon Prime? This would work as either a movie or series, and I'm now extremely curious to see what it's all about. I'm hoping for an extreme twist near the end of the story. Good luck with your venture.

[@rowni]

Hoping for Black Mirror! His work would be perfect for it!
