Sci-Fi Short Film "The Signal" | DUST | Online Premiere

[@DanielLasker]

Hi everyone, Daniel here, the Director of The Signal. Thank you for watching our special film which we cooked with so much love, all the way in Zimbabwe! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! 😃🌟🇿🇼🎬

[@watchdust]

So happy to have your film on DUST! A completely out of this world work of art. Can't wait to see what you do next!

[@RenneDanjoule]

I was thinking you would have done like the Jews that scripted Wakanda in an ultimate inversive delusional fondling of their Negro slaves in America, denied Nationalism, to serve as foot soldiers of impossible equality.

[@gentlerain8537]

Thank you Daniel the film was refreshing from the perspectives DUST has been pushing lately… … When the Zimbabwean people started speaking- I was hopeful this wasn’t going to be another propaganda film… - DUST seems to be excited about showcasing exploitative situations- yet strangely there is no mention of things like Addis Ababa-Djibouti Railway and the Kenya Standard Gauge Railway in this film… or the excessive Exploitation of African People. … This was just a good film…

[@duncanfrost5807]

@@gentlerain8537 I totally agree. So refreshing!

[@codeblood87]

Salute you 👏

[@t1ndazw579]

Tawanda Denga the lead actor I'm so happy y'all enjoy this short film we made for you, More is yet to come!🎬🇿🇼➡️🌍

[@stephaniedouglasaviewfroma9596]

You All of you were fabulous!

[@shantellechikwengo8143]

What an amazing film🔥🔥

[@elshid6046]

That's only the Pilot? It is a great film and I am looking forward to whatever there's yet to come!

[@rcredidio]

Congratulations, amazing work!!

[@ARWest-bp4yb]

So well done to all of you involved in this, we need to see more!👍👍👍👍

[@missmoyo6310]

What an amazing production from start to end. Very well done guys, you’re making Zimbabwe proud 🇿🇼

[@ieatcaribou7852]

Wait a minute, how could this filmmaker create an amazing shirt with a clear beginning, middle and end? Seriously it was great. I thought the only films that made it on DUST were terrible, confusing shorts where the writers couldn’t put a comprehensible story together? This one is better than 98% of all the videos on here. Maybe the future of movies aren’t ruined after all. Great job!

[@hiphop2632]

History in the making. Luminous song Ungayvusa wow... We need the movie PLEASE! World class wow! Zimbabwe to the world!!

[@cosmos_roinuj]

17 minutes well spent.👏🏽 Great work guys! The actors killed, film & sound production didn't disappoint. Proudly from KwaNthuthu! Looking forward to more!

[@nicollokhumalo2826]

Byo native and scifi fan. It's nice to see our city on the screen and to hear sci-fi characters speaking in my mother tongue. Thanks for all your great work and I hope you realise how important this is.

[@DanielLasker]

Thanks Nicollo. We're so proud to share it with the world and break boundaries :) 🇿🇼❤

[@StarCaledonia]

Absolutely brilliant. The actors need to be seen more. Well done 🇿🇼

[@RadScientist5068]

This is definitely one of the best short films I've seen on Dust! I hope we get to see more from this team!

[@mhreynolds1]

i second that opinion!

[@birchwilliams2587]

My thoughts exactly… 👍

[@duncanfrost5807]

Wow! This is by far the best film on Dust, huge dust fan and watch them all, but this is by far the most original and unique thing I've ever seen

[@froste7952]

I can't say it was the best short on Dust, but it is in the top 10. Great story and well done.

[@DanielLasker]

Thanks Duncan, so glad you enjoyed it 🙂🎬

[@damirserbanovic]

I love they spoke in their language not English...

[@davidpalmer5966]

This is in a whole different category to at least 95 percent of the short sci-fi movies we see here, in terms of professional production and acting, and an original take on an old story. Well done!

[@boonganii]

This is so iconic, I really hope ya'll turn this to a feature one day!!!

[@DanielLasker]

The feature is in early development 😉🎬

[@kundaichiremba7279]

​@@DanielLasker I would love to be part of your production team, for experience purpose only, how can I join you.
