The Secret Number - FULL FILM

[@ColinLevy]

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

[@majster263]

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

[@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

[@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."

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@XRAYSEVENONE]

@12:35 “Don’t touch those!” The orderly ate the jelly bean that the professor had in his mouth @5:55 LOL! 😂 🤣

[@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.

[@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.

[@Baribrotzer]

Bleem represents a rotation out of 3-space. We have "0" - a point. Then "1" - a line. Then "2" - a plane. Then "3" - a volume, the three-dimensional space in which we live. But to get to "4" - a hypervolume stretching into the fourth dimension, the time dimension - we must rotate out of 3-space into 4-space, and that act of rotation is bleem. Bleem can be assigned a "value" of pi, denoting a complete rotation out of 3-space and back in, and that's why we can't normally see it. In the penultimate scene, the bleemth jellybean had had the third jellybean superimposed upon its point of return, so it couldn't rotate back into our space until the attendant took that third jellybean and left an open space for it to reappear.

[@etk128]

What about a 4 spatial dimension?

[@Baribrotzer]

@@etk128 What I'm describing IS a fourth spatial dimension.

[@diekleineflaschejack]

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

[@yodhin79]

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

[@SealedSaucer]

Still better than most of the hollywood movies.

[@abztract14]

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

[@Sunil.Panigrahi.transform]

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.

[@oatmilk9545]

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

[@1722Tommy]

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

[@BlenderForNoobs]

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

[@MichaelPari]

wait really?!

[@rickshao1276]

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

[@eddieee_eddieee]

Been can prove time travel

[@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

[@kentdean3882]

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

[@GeorgeMutambuka]

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

[@ColinLevy]

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

[@stephenzhao5809]

6:13 304 the bleem is 1/P∞ ( = 0, unit the ultimate ) which is the superpositin of P∞, ... and as soon as "0" is generated by Him, He is LORD God, One the perpetual homanic oscillator, ...

[@elementallobsterx]

What?

[@illbehonestBG]

great film, i watched it over bleem times!

[@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.

[@JTMusicbox]

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

[@brunogtessidor]

Dude... IT WAS THE BEST SHORT MOVIE THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN Good work budy... Im working in a short movie too but... You made a masterpiece Good work

[@TeatroGrotesco]

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

[@DDMT_Development]

I just can't believe that this has 150k+ views and only 4k likes!

[@patriciacvener1968]

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

[@WTB1327]

This is honestly awesome. Good work!

[@haloreach4093]

Awesome job guys creating this film i have downloaded this in 720p HD and it is amazing. and u guys r from the Savannah College of Art and Design. This Actually Looks like Hollywood Quality. Great Job Guys two thumbs up.

[@TheNextext]

720p why not 4k?

[@fadzilsaad3530]

Very good movie much more better than what hollywood producing right now and now i need to watch the full movie

[@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

[@alexchance5830]

What a great movie.........such great works don't get much appreciated by the mass media.......

[@wibleston]

I wanna ask him why 6 is afraid of 7

[@papilmagar6182]

This masterpiece was created 11 years ago. Fk man why no one recommended me this one!!

[@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!

[@babsbybend]

strangehorizons.com/fiction/the-secret-number/

[@theobserver9131]

This was great by itself, but damn! I want more!

[@raymondspagnuolo8222]

Just seeing this for the first time. An awesome achievement.

[@Strangeinsomniac]

Who's also here after tiktok? Great short film.

[@DylanBates]

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

[@WesSearles]

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

[@TheLuckeyLukas]

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

[@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

[@buckstickly9086]

thank you!! better than today's Hollywood cartoons.

[@arianelcole]

This is formally childish in maths, an integer doesn't have to be an ordinal, if not try to count -8, 5i+2 or 7w,. are they mad as well? The very question about what is bleem is to formally descrbe it, not to count with it. If we assume it's an integer from the reals, then if bleem is sucessor of three, then bleem=four and four=five. It doesn't matter how you call it. The uniqueness of the sucessor and the closure of integers are properties of Peano axioms easily demonstrable.

[@Yehong_Shi_Piano_Art]

Hi Colin, I'm a filmmaker also. May I know how much is the budget for this film? It was done with such talent!

[@brownelavender]

100k

[@baingz8137]

Ce cours métrage est génial !!! Bravo 👏🏼 le temps n’est qu’une illusion aussi tenace soit elle … elle n’est qu’une succession de synchronicitée… ou de rétrocausalitée …

[@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.

[@rtljamesreid]

I could have watched this all day 15 minutes was such a tease

[@praveenpruthvi]

So underrated. Good story. Failed to reach audiences

[@gayan369]

Utterly incredible! A master piece

[@rothenstien3060]

Just saw a synopsis on TikTok and figured I’d give it a go. The idea of a base 11 system of math isn’t too bad, Mayans had a 12 base if I remember correctly. Using a different base could be helpful in some calculations, but base 10 is much easier given our language and understanding. Theories of the impossible equations can sometimes lead to a different base to reach a correct answer

[@chersoclubing]

I will remember. Please make more.

[@zogreen2722]

Good film that raises the questions. Are we really missing numbers or even letters? Thst could help us unlock something

[@mohit96mb]

Can someone please explain this movie to me?

[@ZeroByteInFlight]

I give the film bleam thumbs up! Very interesting way of portraying the number at the end.

[@Springer253]

perfect

[@siafhir]

Might be an idea for the future. For now, it's following a 2000-word short story. Fluff was already added to make it 15 minutes long.

[@grlpeterson]

Anyone notice what he helped the ant to do OR the room number prof. was put into? I didn't see a comment about it although I didn't go thru them all. Dammed awesome tale...a full length is deserved for the world!

[@ColinLevy]

RED One MX!

[@papiezjelodyekipy]

Bro 15 minutes is like 90 minutes video best short movie I think

[@Urmilpatel17]

A masterpiece... Truly

[@iansurname4789]

What a awesome short movie

[@ManuelL3D]

The voice drop on the understanding part is perfect :D Great job

[@curtisrice142s9]

Loved it!

[@stellamackeyloveworks]

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

[@ZFilmzor]

Excellent. You can tell you all took time and paid attention to detail.

[@Dhruv.Wadhwa]

Man this is soooo amazing 🔥 🔥 I wish i can work with u

[@BenjaminDod]

Amazing. I'll have to watch it about 15 times to get it, like I did with Tears of Steel

[@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 :} 🎭

[@eriikon9718]

I enjoyed watching it! The theme is so interesting and exciting. But I just didn’t understand what happened to the professor in the end…

[@hafeesta9295]

he found the bleem and went to past

[@SGAFredericton]

I feel like a lot of money was spent on this movie so I hope that it can get the amount of views it deserves!!!

[@encalle2869]

Holly s*** what a good short 2022 and i love it .Please do a movie but no Disney o any of his associates!

[@capadock1223]

I didn't want it to end, FINISH THE FILM !

[@alvinwe8396]

amazing

[@419Films]

Okay. This short has really stuck with me. I was in the express lane at Wal-Mart today. I heard the computer announce an open checkout, and all I could think was, "Please proceed to checkout bleem." :-)

[@BettyAlexandriaPride]

This was stunning.

[@thereinforcementshavearrive]

So bleem is four of something that appears visually as a 3

[@psnishanthkumar51]

awesome short film, its a treat to watch. Excellent research, photography and everything. No words. keep it up this good work. i wish you best of luck for your future.

[@Petrock508]

I believe they're looking for 3.5.

[@bonbonpony]

Nope, 3.5 is not an integer.

[@amineaboutalib]

Bon Bon Haha I saw ur comment in the new blackpenredpen video and just came here

[@Zorbo_the_Grandiloquent]

He's right, if you take 3 and 5 and put them together, you get 8, which is infinity sideways. Having access to infinity sideways, the mathematician went back to a different point in infinity to tell the Doctor as a kid that his math was the real deal. The only problem was that he had to go back sideways, so he didn't see the car coming in his poorly aged peripherals. Twas hubris that killed the good mathematician.

[@alenstanesic3172]

I like this! Give us more!

[@llowket]

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

[@Caru5]

This is truly amazing

[@BUSHAMEN]

It wouldn't be any number we could think of that's between 3 and 4, because none of them are integers; they are simply irrational numbers, fractions, or decimals. That's why bleem is said to be secret; to understand it probably requires knowledge of the fundamental fabrics of the world, and that's what makes this film so intriguing.

[@runeuc]

Very well crafted. Great eye. Short stories are challenging in that you are forced to cram so much into a limited amount of time. It is difficult to obscure connections. The scene after the accident cuts to the doctor's office, so you know the patient is very likely the accident victim. Even depth of field cannot hide the white hair. After the doctor/kid/jellybean flashback you know that the patient is the one that got hit and how the story will end. Go make more!

[@Damaskox]

I love this! I liked this! I hope you make more!

[@IamRevolted]

This should have been a full length

[@bonbonpony]

Rumours say that there's a sequel in production, about the discovery of the negative bleem (or anti-bleem).

[@Mattteus]

would negative bleem transport you into the future?

[@e-alf-1]

This is so well made

[@JB52520]

Brilliant!

[@SobieXi]

What the BLEEM do we know...LOL! Great film all around. 🙏🏾

[@MAllen-ng8pl]

That marker sure had a lot of ink in it.

[@hthaneunt]

How did you do the shots of the actor driving? @7:45.... Green Screen? Or did you mount the camera? Great lighting throughout the film. Good job!

[@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!

[@jp-ns6yh]

😮 This is amazing, and the second part?
