Sci-Fi Short Film “Aeranger" | DUST

[@watchdust]

Want to give a shout out to filmmaker Anthony Ferraro for this film. He not only wrote and directed the film, but handled the VFX and editing. 🙌 He has been a DUST fan for a long time and an active member in the Portal. We hope to see many more fans inspired to create sci-fi, congrats!

Something I’ve repeatedly noticed from the Dust comments section: We are never satisfied with a wonderfully told short story. We always want an entire season of episodes to expand on the subject. I feel this rendition leaves you being much more thoughtful and inspired.

The Blue stone tree, or Wawō'na tree, was a famous giant sequoia that was found in Mariposa Grove, Yosemite National Park, California, USA, until February 1969. It was 227 feet (69 m) tall and 26 feet. (7.9 m) diameter at the base. The origin of the word Wawō'na is unknown.

“Can you do alien makeup?” “I can do elf makeup.” “That works...”

[@thehedgehogsdilemma9478]

ZSandmann Maybe she’s from a Vulcan-like race.🖖 or heck maybe she IS a Vulcan. Wouldn’t that be cool if this is actually set in the Star Trek universe? A major part of the franchise’s backstory is that Vulcans used to have emotions thousands of years ago in the distant past. Long before they learned how to suppress them with their powerful psychic abilities, in ancient times rather than shun all emotion, they celebrated the beauty of having emotions, similar to Spock’s estranged outcast older brother Sybok. Anyway it’s a fun theory.

[@CanuckMonkey13]

I can't figure out why, but as soon as she planted the tree I found myself thinking "Ooh, is it going to grow into a Giant Sequoia?" Probably just a random lucky guess! I love the ending, this is a kind of sci-fi that I love and can really enjoy after the fact as well, thinking about the implications. First line of thought to pursue: are the "elf aerangers" going to come back for their filters some time? I guess the intent is for them to show up and collect when the select few come out of hibernation. Did something happen to them and they died out because of a failure of the hibernation system? Are they still in hibernation, and will some day be coming to get what they need to restore their world? Have they already come and gone again, taking what they needed without appearing to or interfering with humanity? I'm sure I'll think of more ideas to ponder later on... In any case, inspiring me to think like this is a sign of a great work!

Another clever implication is that she inspired magical beliefs into the natives. Sufficiently advanced technology and techniques world likely be seen as magical.

I think I understand it! Her home planet atmosphere was suffering because it didn’t have enough oxygen, hence the “deep sleep” 1/3 of the residents had to be put under, (and when you’re in deep sleep you use less oxygen). He also called it the filtration system and that’s essentially what trees do, they provide oxygen and essentially filter the air for us. Without enough trees and greenery we wouldn’t have enough oxygen so the fact that that tree grew so big and tall and was unable to be chopped down meant it was continuously supplying oxygen. That could’ve been one of the last tree seedlings from her home planet and ensuring that it would take root on earth and be able to grow provides a filtration system for the air so earth never meets the same fate her planet has. Humans had no idea it was even a problem at this point, we weren’t even speaking clearly as shown by the barbaric person, but it makes me wonder if their planet was just so ahead of ours that they saved ours before we even knew we needed saving. Another thing that supports the theory is that you can see when she first gets up from the crash she has this breathing apparatus on and actually removes it and seems to take some nice deep breaths and appears relieved. This makes me think that the air on her home planet is unsafe to breathe in or is very low on oxygen and the soil there cannot sustain the trees needed to provide the air filtration they need. That is why she checks the soil to see if it’s able to support growing the tree and they are so relieved when they see that the soil is essentially fertile. Obviously the blue Stones protected it so there was no way that the tree could die which is pretty cool but it makes me think that with all this technological advancements it’s amazing they just really needed some dirt and some air. It’s easy to forgo sustainability where technology is concerned and they ultimately had to travel to a much less civilized planet essentially very early B.C. as shown by the wooly mammoths to get what they needed in order to survive. That cautions us on our emphasis on advancement rather than sustainability (hint hint our current planet). Since her planet realized the oxygen crisis they sent out multiple people with the tiny trees and the tools they needed to hopefully plant them on other planets so that the other planets won’t meet the same fate theirs did. The stones ensure that for years and years to come oxygen is provided and those from the deep sleep will eventually be able to woken up and can now come to earth. That is my theory anyways, but if anyone disagrees or thinks similar, feel free to comment :)

But she could simply have taken one of the already established sycamores and taken it back to her planet, well not with a busted ship. But she could have said to the annoying hologram "there are plenty of trees here. Send someone to pick a few up, no need to wait 4,000 years." And if their tree could thrived in an Earth environment, no reason to assume Earth trees wouldn't be able to essentially fulfil the same purpose on their home planet. Take a few dozen back to be safe. Also 3,800 years ago Humans had relatively advanced civilisations. We weren't all grunting and using stone spears. The Vedas are over 5,000 years old for a start.

Great storyline, nice to have a Short, not leave you wondering what it was all about....

Can't wait to meet them space refugees, itll be hella crazy.

Brilliant idea well done. The elf alien idea was nice also brilliant.

[@searsfarmcat3328]

Excellent theory!

[@danobrien3695]

Awesome!! I love "Origin" stories....Oh, and who is to say Elves were not aliens?

[@SDianebogus-OracleShariananda]

You are so good to ask. Who is to say? Not me. I would explore the idea.

[@mindscraftsman]

Schöne Geschichte 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@genesisthepoet815]

Great film with a cool concept... I was hoping the hologram device would do something cool like put a protective barrier around her and create a shelter so she could also enter the great sleep until her people arrived

[@SDianebogus-OracleShariananda]

Good thinking.

So it wasn't a rice cooker but a plant terrarium. Cool. Loved the ending with the blue stones. Just wish I had several to keep those pesky Swamp Wallibies, possums and naughty White Cockatoos off my veggie patch and fruit trees in my Sydney home. Very enjoyable movie thank you.

She is astoundingly beautiful...

[@BobbieBreckenridge]

Thanks Moogy!

[@moogybannahilstopaflingon6803]

Hello Bobbie, what a lovely surprise. I just spoke the truth, you are absolutely, scintillatingly beautiful and you can also act. There’s definitely something about you. It’s very, very rare. You have that stillness that only the greats possess. Yet you can also move amazingly well and your ability to dance proves that. Stillness...Forest Whitaker, Benicio del Toro. Two absolute masters. A mere twitch of an eyelid. A flicker of a smile and the story pours from them to the observer. You have this. It’s a subtlety that is innate and cannot be learned. I expect huge things from you. I believe your heading straight for the top (hopefully a few little detours) but definitely to the top because you certainly have the talent and we deserve you! Your certainly one of the best Actors I’ve seen and you should believe in yourself because your dripping with absolutely solid talent, subtlety, natural beauty and that special stillness that’s a gift. Take care out there Bobbie. The World is an enormous place. Like I said, you are astoundingly beautiful, exquisite symmetry, beautiful movement and an unchecked rawness that’s completely exciting. I wish you well my dear girl and you deserve success. Be good and God bless. SJMM

[@BobbieBreckenridge]

Moogy Banna Hilstopaflingon I am so touched. Thank you!

[@moogybannahilstopaflingon6803]

Hello Bobbie, I hope the things I said are ok. It’s easy to say. For they are true. My only wish is to reinforce confidence in yourself. I’m not saying I think you lack it, definitely not. I’m just hoping that if you ever doubt yourself, that strange hesitation inside, that feeling of being anxious, then think of my words. I’m a complete stranger, one of thousands, probably millions who are exposed to you and you can have this affect? Absolutely! I’m a single player in your entire audience and you certainly touched me. That’s your gift. Don’t doubt yourself. Don’t! You should be confident without hesitation and you have everything it takes not to falter. You’ve got everything. Your a ‘real’ artist and you cover so many facets of your craft. You write, direct, dance and act. Harvey Keitel and Milla Jovovich, they have that special stillness. You share it. Your in the same league and it’s a small club for the truely gifted. There are a few others but the rest are pretenders and your potential is yet to be fully realised. It’s very exciting. Go forth and conquer lady! SJMM

[@moogybannahilstopaflingon6803]

Charlize Theron, Anthony Hopkins, Edward Norton...Masters of stillness. Your part of it. Your in their league and they in yours. There’s galaxy’s full of stars, billions and billions of them. Countless zillions of them. Then there’s this little constellation, out there by itself, outshining all the stars in the heavens. Special, beautiful, rare. A collection of all that’s delicate, magnificent and indescribable. Magic stars. And your a part of it. I’ll tell you this, and please don’t get me wrong. If your ever struggling, I’d do some music for you. For free. For nothing. I don’t think you’ll struggle. But with a lot of projects of different sizes, timings and complexities, things can get tight!!!! I’d do it for nothing, nothing at all. Not for me. Not to profit with money or to make my name. You wouldn’t even have to write my name. I’d do it to see you succeed. I’d do it as a stranger and as a friend in complete anonymity and only to see you progress and to take pressure off. That’s if you ever need any help. I’m sure your surrounded by support and talent but I promise you, it never hurts to have a little more in reserve and I’m am nothing if I’m not as good as my word. Just an offer. Put it in your memory bank if you choose. For down the track. Time for me to go. Take care of you. Always remember to take the time, with a firm eye on the future, take the time to look behind, even if it’s only a split second. There’s so many answers there. It’s the only thing we can really ever know...😊

[@missymoonwillow6545]

Shannara Chronicals definitely came to mind, but this is different. I would love to see it expanded upon more... fill it with more life. VERY COOL, again... most impressed.

[@jarden714]

Was that a Merlin quote from ol' Excalibur film I heard??? Nice

[@LeeRaldar]

Sci-fi shorts pre 1990ish are just so different, like they don't all have the same themes and motifs so the conclusion is therefore usually more of a surprise. A goal that should presumably be easier amongst this genre of writing by its very nature.

[@ianhopcraft9894]

original idea for a story, good work, thanks

[@adriannaj7447]

so cool to see createscifi's short film on dust!!! congrats anthony!

[@zapusama67]

@6:45... Merlin's magic dilouge from Excaliber ('81). Cool.

[@BryanJacksonLives]

Cool film. Nice job Tony.

[@littleshepherdfarm2128]

I thought this was a cool story. I sometimes write a little sci-fi and enjoy the twist folks will put on their own stories. So...now we know where the giant Sequoia trees came from. He he he he :)

[@asunderbear1445]

Checking for my side arm would have been my first move upon waking up.

[@tyrizzzoli]

How many people googled blue stone tree after watching this?

[@Phawks-Phire]

I promise you I did. Had me thinking it was real. 😂

[@tyrizzzoli]

Me too! I think thats what makes science fiction great, the creative minds that can come up with a cool story to convince us of the possibilities of the impossible

[@themoonlitquill]

That's the wonderful thing about the word 'Fiction'...it usually tells you that it's make believe ;-)

[@AtlasFordGaming]

What it's not real???.....
