Thanks so much for your support! Very glad you enjoyed the film. :)

[@majster263]

Damn, its sitting here below 200k views after 11 years... Unbelievable.

[@GregBreden]

My instinct is that when the doctor said to count out bleem beans the prof should have counted out 3, given the doctor the bleemth one to hide in his hand then put the 4th one on the table with the other 3. That way the bleemth one is "elsewhere" unseen, not in another dimension but represented as being so.

[@Vysair]

Between the 3th and 4th as in a dimension where time is linear?

[@Michael-du3eh]

I thought he was going to hold it on the underside of the glass table and tell them that "if this were to be a wooden table it would be unseen. our world is the wooden table."

[@depoica]

This 15 minutes are more expressive than all the 2 hours in most hollywoodfilms!

[@sylwiaburczak6728]

No comment hmm...

[@fabled-pilgrim]

Of your three short films this is my favourite. It feels fully fleshed out with a satisfying conclusion. The elevator scene was great.... really ramped up the suspense! The characters were interesting and engaging. I loved the cinematography and direction. If you accomplished this on a limited budget you're a film company's dream. You seem to have the full package. I hope you get head hunted soon.

[@swampflux]

You mean bleem films? You didn't see his other work?

[@SuddenConfusion]

I really feel like this could be a great movie

[@DianaDial]

I feel like a proud mother. I am so happy I supported your kickstarter.

[@YovanGabut]

Thanks mom

[@Redditard]

고마워요 엄마

[@Lajos_Brekovszky]

Ďakujem mami

[@Nightl3lade]

k, need the 2 hours movie now

[@terencehood]

Reminds me of "A Beautiful Mind" , absolute best short I've seen to date. I loved how the story came around and the sort of quantum physics were all interconnected.

[@PauwMedia-Filmproducties]

Yes!! This is again one of the rare thriller/mystery shortfilms that give me the, what I call Shutter Island-feeling. Great story, great cinematography. This style is my favorite.

[@DrTebb]

11:53 , Holy shit look at all the writing he got out of one marker, what brand is that?

[@yusufiliya1494]

He figured out bleep first before escaping in other dimension.

[@yusufiliya1494]

He figured out the bleem first, then he finally figured out how to escape in another dimension.

[@somegreekguy6361]

Bleeper

[@rickshao1276]

so the professor time travelled to the past and got killed by doctor's mum ??

[@lucid4812]

I watched this for the first time 10 years after it was put out and I would rather watch this than most movies put out today. It had my jaw on the floor by the end.

[@oatmilk9545]

I just love how it diverts from the original story and gives a perfect explanation to everything. just love

[@siafhir]

I read the shortstory a few times in the past few years. One of my favourites. Hadn't known it was made into a film until now. Nicely done!

[@Rabbit-the-One]

I believe it actually started as a George Carlin joke on the show Smothers Brothers.

[@NEOPOWER0001]

Loved the movie so much that I repeat it everytime I am in need of curiosity , ingenuity, inquisitive or need to wind down . Great masterpiece Colin.

[@diekleineflaschejack]

I've seen a lot of short films, non of them even close to this masterpiece!

[@100theDork]

That was an excellently made short film, you guys deff put the work into it and I am glad I found this, thanks for uploading it :D

[@GeorgeMutambuka]

Beautiful!! That's all I can say. Jan Morgenstern's music is classic too (he's one of my faves)

[@yodhin79]

I asked my buddy to punch me bleem times and he kept skipping it and going straight to four. My face hurts.

[@wibleston]

I wanna ask him why 6 is afraid of 7

[@oops6661]

Amazing one. Really intriguing and had me thinking for a long time after watching it. Two thumps up! I got to know the story by Igor Teper only after watching this. I think this has been a really good adaptation.

[@stellamackeyloveworks]

This was super cool! Really enjoyed it. Nicely shot, great acting, perfectly written. Nice!

[@WTB1327]

This is honestly awesome. Good work!

[@TeatroGrotesco]

ALso thought the Professor's room number was a nice touch.

[@abztract14]

Colin, this is incredible. Seriously, a job well done! You have a long career ahead of you. Bravo, sir!

[@DylanBates]

Extremely well done! I hope this movie gets lots of views and likes :) Keep up the work Colin Levy :D

[@feralbluee]

Fantastic - everything. the acting, the direction, the cinematography, lighting, editing, music and whatever else. . . love to see more and longer features from you !! thanks :} 🎭

[@JTMusicbox]

This is excellent! This is so good on so many levels I don’t know where to start!

[@1722Tommy]

It is truly a crime that this doesn't have more views!

[@TheLuckeyLukas]

How come this isn't bigger yet?!? Amazing work!

[@BlenderForNoobs]

You are making films of this caliber at your age, please don't stop.

[@MichaelPari]

Awesome work Colin!

[@OhMalignaMia]

Great job!!! I didnt want it to end...

[@EdsPlasticCars]

This is brilliant. Somebody reading this must have enough money to help them make a feature length sequel, I'd take everyone I know to see it

[@kentdean3882]

Congratulations, Colin, on what's to be a long, renowned career in moviemaking! I can say, "I knew him when!"

[@llowket]

Very intelligent script, very well executed. My compliments to all involved.

[@YouTubecanfuckagoat]

This is really well done.

[@psnishanthkumar51]

So good. Can't wait for more

[@illbehonestBG]

great film, i watched it over bleem times!

[@intrinsicdualities]

Very nicely done! Bravo 💜

[@ColinLevy]

Yeah, I definitely wonder sometimes if I should've just stuck with the original "3 jellybean" ending - without the fluff.

[@ckalf]

This is so well made

[@chersoclubing]

I will remember. Please make more.

[@Thistasteslikeass]

I expected this to have millions of view by now

[@DullyDust]

It's my all time favorite short film 💕 I have watched it many times over the years and it still makes my heart pound and my mind race. Thank you kindly for allowing me into your mind and for making my own feel provoked and engaged. I feel like I am witnessing what would happen to a brain that equals the likes of Kopernikus and Da Vinci

[@ColinLevy]

What a review! I'm so glad the short resonates with you!

[@bmngatia474]

Also my favorite plus this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZatZZambtOmd5o

[@SealedSaucer]

Still better than most of the hollywood movies.

[@TheRobbi5]

The story is really original and makes you think :) You did a great short there sir! And if I might say so the video quality ON KZbin outweighs quite a lot of films I have watched blu - ray!

[@brucerivers]

Excellent short! Congrats to all the crew! The original short story (which can be read for free somewhere in the net) is pretty nice too!

[@BettyAlexandriaPride]

This was stunning.

[@Rabbit-the-One]

Just watched a George Carlin ski from The Smothers Brothers where he plays a news anchor. That news anchor talks about a California math professor who found a number between 6 and 7 that he calls Bleen.

[@JulietteIsles]

amazing talent, you all are so magnificently gifted! flawless & captivating! a must share :)

[@WesSearles]

That was actually pretty cool, had no idea what to expect when I clicked the video, but I liked it.

[@alvinwe8396]

[@patriciacvener1968]

As much as I saw that ending coming, it was still very well done.

[@berkano_plays]

Great short! It was the third Kickstarter campaign that I've backed :) Took a while to see the result, but it was worth it!

[@iansurname4789]
