The Little Helpers (a Christmas horror short film)

[@StandardStoryCo]

Well! The KZbin Premiere option really s*** the bed and froze the video for us all until the ending. I set it as a normal video now so take it from the beginning and give it a watch lol. TY KZbin! 😑

[@SOLIDSNAKE.]

It's OK! Cus you're a badass filmmaker! You have such a range! You're absolutely excellent!

[@TheLandonRowell]

Christmas and horror, with their powers combined… we get a really good movie lol. Good job Mr. Story Company!

[@MrWoodyanders]

Loved the sound of the constant howling wind. That really added a lot to the overall tension and creepy atmosphere.

[@KutWrite]

I took it there was more than the wind out there. Something that kept the "elves" inside.

[@obscurity_films]

You're killing it on these shorts! You did a great job creating intrigue really quickly with the focus on telling the story visually. Making the elves normal human size, but Santa larger was really unsettling. Loved it.

[@StandardStoryCo]

Thank you!

[@SOLIDSNAKE.]

Seriously! Santa's a sick bastard! I love it!

[@roccolymberopoulos308]

This was great! Love this interpretation of St Nick and that first shot of him was unsettling to say the least. Great work!

[@staciashworth6717]

Phenomenal!!! I think everyone would like this as a feature film. Just amazing!!

[@DanielEarl]

Great cinematography and storytelling. *chefs kiss

[@DeLaSoul246]

Just showed this to my partner and he said "that was my FAVORITE christmas movie! ... Santa is *really* creepy if you think about it..." Great stuff!!

[@jimmyjensen8946]

Oh hey, that's the actress from The Ticket! That was one of my favorites of your monthly shorts back in the day. Can't wait for this one!!!

[@cuyaCT]

i’ve never felt so proud to be a subscriber. I think this is my favorite short from you. Visual was great, story was executed nicely, art/set design was great. I think Santa strangling the neck was a bit too forward/cheesy for me. I initially thought he was like a “delightful monster” like hans landa when he asked for the candy cane. but the neck strangling took me out. i think maybe a nice physical gesture and her still showing fear-that contrast would really show something. But great film! I’m so excited to see more!

[@profundus8946]

the way of showing Santa made me think of the reveal of Satan/Black Philip at the end of 'The Witch'. Nice work! Loved the use of the vintage footage in the end credits as well.

[@amityadav8125]

This concept deserves feature film. It's really awesome 😍

[@MoneyBagJoon]

WOOOOOOOOW!!! That was amazing man! You are truly one of the best I've watched, thank you for showing us it can be done.

[@andrewgoode7640]

Really fun short. I loved the sound effects throughout it gave a good atmosphere for the small location. Love your channel. It's been inspiring to me as an aspiring filmmaker and I hope to be doing some of what your doing in the future

[@applemagsafe]

This was a total masterpiece of workmanship. So much effort went into post editing. I love it

[@dylanreid8770]

Super! Its awesome to see little films like this that still captivate so much emotion.

[@ChristophIsbjorn]

Hot Damn! This was SUCH a great short! WOW! The intensity of it all was incredible and the audio really brought it all together! The two women did a phenominal job as well, such an interesting take on it all. Wow! Well done!

[@jordane2915]

very creepy. i enjoyed the silence. i was glued the whole time!

[@Alex.G]

This was just the Christmas film I needed! Too many of them are the same old love story

[@udaymehta5892]

Screenplay, direction, lighting, background score WAS SUPERB. But, editing was at the next level. ❤❤❤❤

[@megandenham2911]

Ahhhhh why am I crying?! This was so beautiful ❤

[@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker]

I think watching your fix it in post video AND THEN watching this really enhanced this. Even knowing all the things you did, I was still just sucked into the story, really great job!

[@CZGFilms]

Great film!! Only part that took me out of it was the chokehold part, but besides that it was very unsettling and well done.

[@sideowlproductions]

Brilliant! Great piece of storytelling, beautifully shot. Looking forward to the next one 🙂

[@AARJason]

Oh dude. Such great work!! I Loved it. The actors really sold it too. Proud of you man.

[@StandardStoryCo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@KutWrite]

Wow! Five minutes to see the scariest Santa ever! Love your work!

[@MorkMemes]

Just saw your video where you mention that you did a lot of the sound in post and I gotta say it sounds amazing. Also, Santa's deep, raspy breathing and HOs made him menacing as hell which was so good haha.

[@vikingwebproductions2627]

Well that is definitely a different take on white elephant gifts. Nice job.

[@mattriley2232]

Great story! Beautifully shot!

[@BhavyNigam]

The work 📸📹

[@alexced3923]

So beautiful!

[@Whyiadda]

Great work man! Really really enjoyed it. I see your personality really shining through in your films

[@StandardStoryCo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MarcyFilms]

I love what you're doing, kent! Much love!

[@jakemcphee]

Loved this Kent, great twists!

[@iddotamir]

Someone explain the ending, what does the bloody candy cane mean? She killed Santa?

[@bradreigelson4381]

amazing! I was on the edge of my seat!

[@Darkslide99]

This had me on the edge 😮🙌🏽 fantastic work!

[@TheStorytellingDad]

I would have thought you would have loved to be in that Santa suit!

[@BrandonHinojosa]

I let out a “well damn”. Great work!!

[@RebeccaPerezNY]

Very good! Love the story.

[@vumu9886]

What an interesting interpretation. It's always fascinating to see perversed adaptions of famously innocent/innocuous IPs, and this one was nothing less.

[@katyaloban]

This is a great short! 😊

[@Santafefashionweek]

That was twisted, nice job everyone!

[@jamesboisits]

Awesome direction and suspense!! Great short!

[@aitoralvarez1212]

I'll be honest: I wan't expecting much with that title, but this surpassed any expectations I could have!

[@MattNormanFilms]

Congrats. This film just works.

[@BetterRhylek]

Actually got chills when I saw his hands on her shoulders haha that was a good reveal

[@Tatecozza]

Love this!!

[@ryansfigueroa]

Phenomenal, Kent! Actually inspiring, and makes me want to go out and film!

[@ryansfigueroa]

Also, what was this shot on?

[@StandardStoryCo]

Thanks! Shot on a GH5s

[@SOLIDSNAKE.]

Absolutely! The man is an inspiration! Shot with a gh5! Wow!

[@saramulry]

Great work!!

[@AldoEsAmor]

Wow. Really good, nice to see you back in making great shorts.

[@skirmish9406]

it was tense! love it

[@alonsodorame5053]

Very cool! 🎅👍🏼

[@Rylandos]

the film was filmed on the Panasonic and looks better than other cameras whos reviews are superior like Canon EOS R6 Mark II vs Panasonic GH5s. Yet this looks better, is it just better colour grading and lighting skills ect..or does the Panasonic actually have a certain look to its video

[@chrisabercrombie1464]

Talk about a nail biter! That was great film!!

[@tmphotosa]

Wowza, well done😉🙌🙌

[@sakhumzimati2665]

Well done I am so inspired from South Africa.

[@leeroyturner2001]

Great work! Love this channel

[@SOLIDSNAKE.]

Excellent!

[@hottdropp8538]

Watching your tutorial like videos and seeing your shorts really slap. They really put the bow on the whole package ;) Outstanding.

[@lincolnabc1]

I didn’t get it. Nicely photographed though.

[@BobbyGogios]

Great job 🎉

[@Vizeit]

What if Slender Man was santa claus? That was a great short film. I love your behind the scenes man! You keep me inspired so I thank you for that!

[@lakus2588]

Love this

[@TheMightyCookieShow]

I wanna see what you can do with action. Imma go through your channel, see if you've got that. Very cinematic look to this though, so you've deff got the basics well.

[@mattk8460]

dont be condescending

[@17samalex]

Very very nice congrats

[@cinaryasinn]

Amazing

[@itrollallot9780]

Good job. I enjoyed it …

[@seemslegit8858]

the production is great, but I dont know about the script, it is confusing and disconnected.

[@SwytchComics]

Well, KZbin screwed up the premiere, but an interesting little story!

[@POPFILMSproductions]

This was fantastic. The cinematography was really great. I'm sure you did a bts, really curious what camera and glass you shot this with!

[@StandardStoryCo]

Thanks! GH5s with the Lumix 12-35mm f2.8 for most of the short, plus an Olympus 60mm f/2.8 Macro for some of the extreme closeups. BTS coming hopefully later this week...

[@POPFILMSproductions]

@@StandardStoryCo wow, really goes to show how far that camera can go when you know what you’re doing 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@johnhaxe]

This is storytelling!

[@FlingerFilms]

Thats dark bro... You did have me locked in and glued to the story. Did I mention it was dark?

[@khaledabdelhafidi479]

why you dont stop premier pro and start make your video with davinci resolve i think is better 🤔

[@Doughnutmanmanman]

Very very nice
