Sci-Fi Short Film "Bruce Gallagan" | DUST

[@darda2449]

Oh, how nostalgic... What a treat! Whiffs of Battlestar Galactica and Buck rogers. I loved the complete 1970's cheesy retro yumminess of this fun short. The actors were able to suspend disbelief, and of course, we all do too. I'd love a series about these two!

[@helbent4]

Don't forget the Star Wars blaster pistol Gallagan uses! This is like the best late 70's SF series I never got to see.

[@arrivalphoenix7320]

Wonderfull

[@bradgarrett7790]

Yeah her tight pants are kinda like Colonel Wilma Deering's pants from Buck Rogers.. That was the best part of this show.

[@Pallidus_Rider]

5:4 aspect ratio would have been a bonus

[@helbent4]

@@bradgarrett7790 Seconded. I described this as Star Wars, Battlestar Gralactica (TOS) meets Buck Rogers. I like how the intro made little sense but I was still totally into it.

[@Scriptor13]

Yes! We need a Bruce Gallagan series in all its '70s cheesy sci-fi glory!

[@andrewpinkham9904]

its been a long time since ive seen a girl that was hard to get.well done bruce

[@theguyfromwhereiam.3715]

[@Brinco-tv]

Hello everyone! I'm Pau Perramon, director of Bruce Gallagan. Thanks to Dust and to you for watching :) Feel free to ask me anything about the short film.

[@vinarkmp]

I am a film maker and respectfully wanted to ask, why did you decide to distribute with dust? Cool movie and cool platform.

[@Brinco-tv]

@@vinarkmp I had known Dust for years (as anyone who loves sci fi!). They actually approached me and I thought it was a great opportunity for Bruce Gallagan as it would get a great level of exposure. I'm glad how things unfolded with their dedicated team. What are your films about, vinark?

[@michaelpistey4001]

Thank you, my friend, that was fun.

[@patriciacvener1968]

Why were the labels in English?

[@Brinco-tv]

@@patriciacvener1968 hi! Because this is the way we watched these american shows in Spain : dubbed from english 😊 It's a nostalgic short film, and I wanted to be faithful to my own experience watching those serials. I understand it's shocking for certain audiences and it's something I wouldn't do again if additional Bruce Gallagan adventures were to come 😉 Thank you for watching!

[@forteanape2252]

That was gloriously cheesy! I love it!

[@BlazeMiskulin]

Gracias! Mucho gracias! This took me back to my childhood and shows like Buck Rogers. This was so fun to watch. I like the combination of live action and CGI--without worrying about realism. This is about telling a fun story. And I had such fun watching it. Keep it up.

[@raddirector99]

At 2 minutes im like "this is stupid " at 4 minutes, im all in. Go Bruce!

Great job everyone. I felt like a kid again at the Saturday afternoon matinee. Thank you.

In the sequence from 2:11 you can see words on the screen reflected in his face. The problem is that the reflected words should be reversed, i.e. read right-to-left.

[@mysmirandam.6618]

That was adorable 😍 like a mix of star wars from the 70s and Battlestar Galactica nostalgic and almost reminiscent of a parody like space balls I LOVE IT!

[@herbf2700]

Yeah that was fun. Nothing over-the-top, deep, or complicated. Just an enjoyable take on old adventure sci-fi.

[@mikechudzinski6629]

Yep, the old grenade in the rock monster's mouth trick. Bruce is marvelous !!

Todo era colorido, luces de neón, plásticos imposibles y fanfarria de trompetas. El remake, que no lo es tanto, de 2003, es mucho más oscuro, con una temporada final de lo más cerebral.

[@Benson_aka_devils_advocate_88]

Was I the only one disappointed when Bruce didn't start speaking in a heavily accented American English voice? Bruce Gallagan is such a late 20th century American sounding sci-fi, Indiana Jones type name. So much backstory for having everyone understand each other, yet speak in their own languages. Oh well!

[@Decemberworks]

Funny enough, it was shot in English and then dubbed into Spanish, because that's how those kind of shows were broadcasted in Spain.

[@hilaryc3203]

Yes, you were the only one who was disappointed. The actor is Spanish; he's from Barcelona. Most of the actors are latin, so did their own dubbing I believe.

[@Benson_aka_devils_advocate_88]

@@hilaryc3203 Wow, you mean to tell me that people who speak Spanish, are usually "Latin?" Damn, silly me... And here I was think these guys actually speak Mandarin but chose to use Spanish instead... I still think it was a huge missed opportunity to not have the guy with the mid 20th century, cheesy SciFi sounding name you'd find in American stories from the same time speak in a thick American accent. It would be like having the characters in a story about the middle ages and having the Scottish guy speak in the language the audience understands, or having that character speak in the language, and with the corresponding accent, that adds an layer of depth you'd otherwise miss in a short. Remember, as a writer you have to pack as much as you can into the allotted time. Ina piece that's under 15 minutes you can only add depth in so many ways. To give the guy all the more feel of a cocky, SciFi character to fit the visual ambiance, just changing his voice to separate him from everyone else would have easily done that without the need for additional dialog to set the characters disposition. Cocky American voice, cocky character persona, game, set, match.

[@danicaralt8028]

@@Benson_aka_devils_advocate_88 the option of making the main character talk english with heavy accent is a valid idea, but it doesn't mean dubbing doesn't add depth. American films are all over the world, and dubbing is a practice done in many countries. In those places, kids don't watch tv shows in the original language, they get the dubbed version. Think about this film as a way to see how people abroad watch american shows.

Incredibly cool and good DUST SHORT FILM, wow! The name of the main character: "BRUCE GALLAGAN" sounds familiar to me! But unfortunately I don't know why or from what. Also super nice that this DUST SHORT FILM is in SPANISH! It's just a pity that the English subtitles are often just not legible very well, especially when the image behind it is quite light in terms of colors! TIP: make the English subtitles in thicker and more white colored letters, then they are always legible!
