More About "The Gray":
Perez is a former cop who has been judged to be morally “gray”- someone who is neither good nor evil. As penalty for not choosing a moral lane, he’s been forced to take a job in purgatory to process people going to heaven or hell. One day, his 20-year old son appears- full of both yearning and resentment for his father- and he gets into a series of shenanigans to stay in purgatory with Perez.
Under pressure from his supervisor, Perez decides to kick his son out of purgatory, but instead of sending him to heaven (or hell), he commits the ultimate sin and sends his son back to Earth, even if it means that Perez will spend eternity in hell. In the end, however, Perez’s actions are judged to be sacrificial and for the good of his son, and he is thus finally sent to heaven.

One of the few Dust videos that actually had a complete story beginning to end. Very nicely done!
I love it when everything makes sense. No plot holes here. Great writing.
Purgatory as an 80s office 🤣
That would be hell for me.
Sounds about right 😂
Worse: a Government 80's office! 😮
@@markfergerson2145 I did. That’s why.
I'd prefer an 80s office with competent people working there over an office of today full of dumbasses anytime.
She spoke tagalog, his mother is filipino.
I Love Philippines!, Thanks DUST!, Loved it!❤
I loved it! A clear story with a beginning, middle, and end that was both interesting and heart-warming. The visual equivalent of a well written short story. Thanks!
Amen to that!! I actually put this one in my Saved list, gonna watch it again every few months.
The feels! I loved it. The granny had me cracking up, 01:23 took me by complete surprise lol
Just that one time.... 😂
Everybody's entitled to one.
"Stop running! You're already dead!" LOL 🤣
the best line in this thing... upvote.
Why do they even HAVE a fire alarm?
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Very cute and clever. Heartwarming. FANTASTIC! I loved it!
" This is a fire alarm - don't be alarmed "
That was a perfect Christmas treat! Fantastic. Thank you so much.
"You're too young to die!"
"So were you!" 😭😭
That was great! You all did a good job across the board. Good story. Well executed. Score fit well. Bravo.
Thanks for sharing this with us!
Cheers!
Loved it. Every minute. Thank you, made me feel good!
This is so heartwarming :) The duration of this movie is just perfect for the entire story and message to convey. Well done :)
First there were the bullying robots making their target do the worst thing. Then there was this hopeful little tale. Happy Christmas everyone.
Damn this was good. Just when it was starting to lose me, it then had me nearly tearing up at the end. Great story.
Oh..so it's YOU cutting those darn onions making me cry! Well done 😊
This should be a movie.💯 Loved it!
It is!
Certified Gold!!!!!
When it's time I hope it's really like this. A reflection of self atonement and time to figure it out. Well done loved this.
Total winner!! Congrats, please produce more :) Mitch, Australia.
Oh how cool! As you process people you can understand any language.
This short 9 minute film was 1000 times better than that god aweful movie R.I.P.D.
Heartwarming and beautiful. Well done.
OMG. The way this started I expected it to be some joke that would end up running on too long. Bu then I got all misty at the father's last dialog with his son, then was bawling by the time it ended. Well done.
8:57 Awesome story, just a tad confused. I thought the moth was the sign, but that looked like a butterfly. Still good. Great characters.
That was great! I have always loved these kinds of stories and this was a really fresh take on the whole concept. Thanks!
Fabulous! Great story, production, cast... And the detail! Just wonderful.
So funny! A fire alarm in heaven? And it figures there would be a back door. Great story.
That was good. I liked Perez. He was a good actor, a seasoned veteran. He has a future!
This is probably my favorite channel on CZcams
and you bastards make me cry all the time
"This is a fire alarm. Don't be alarmed." 🤣
Love the fact that even after death, there's a waiting line. Hell never ends.
He’s a good dad giving his son a second chance to finish being good. This was such a good story that I’m gonna watch this a lot.
"I'm doing the work nobody wants to do."
YES, BATMAN. lol. 10/10.
Great short! Hope to see more from the creator. Merry Christmas to all!
Loving these stories, just what I like,a mixture of allsorts.
Loved the idea in the story
Wow, who would've thought DUST would put a short on their channel that actually made sense and had a story, even if the story was a little ridiculous. Most of the garbage on this site is confusing. Great job!
It's unfortunate that there is no closed captioning for this,It looks great, but I am a hearing impaired person.I love to watch this again....I hope for the day whenpartially deaf people like me areacknowledge more :-)
It is a bit strange for it to not even have auto-generated captions in 2023 😐
This film brings hope in a crazy laughable way, thanks I really needed this.
*Oh my gosh, please unlock auto subtitles for English.*

"This is a fire alarm. Don't be alarmed" 😆
What a beautiful story! And so appropriate for the season! Thank you and Merry Christmas!
The ending was simply very moving. One things for sure, it was a great short story. It was well shot and acted. Bravo. To all cheers.
Nicely done! Worth the watch.
Sweet. Loved it!
I'd usually put this sort of story in the genre of Infernal Fiction, but not so sure about that here. Well done short.. congratulations.
Great work, thank you so much! The German speaker in the beginning has a strong accent, but I believe he says: „Ich gab zur Nächstenliebe“ which means I gave to neighborly love or altruism. „Ich gab an Stiftungen.“ or „Ich gab an Hilfsorganisationen.“ is much better.
Beautiful. I wish to help someone this way with all my love.
A moth wouldn't leave a car my Dad and Uncles were in after my Grandma's funeral. Other unexplained strange things happened as well.
A truly heartwarming motion picture for the whole family.
Excellent story and production
Excellent. A complete story, sympathetic and empathetic characters, and--most importantly for me--an ending that wasn't bleak. It refreshing to see SF that's optimistic.
The mom is a Filipina. I'm going to share this awesome video to my friends.
A rare original story. BTW: Hilarious, too! +Fav
I'm honestly surprised that no one has compared this to Loki.
Perfect in every way. Put simply.... I loved it!!
Thank U - Hvala 🌞🌞🌞
Greetings from The Balkans
✨🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✨
I liked this soooo much! Great job!
I loved this film!
Please turn on/allow/use close caption! Please!!
Okay they need this one particular skit into a full series! I actually cried a little and it's a really cool concept of Heaven and Hell being in the form of an office.
This is why I love this channel. Well done!
This is more like of an Omeleto kind of film but it's good seeing more Filipinos on this platform
Always fun to see sci-fi with a fun twist, even if it was a bit predictable near the end (as I was hoping it would be). Thanks for sharing their work with us DUST!
Very nice. The low budget shows in the set, casting and acting (though the two leads are quite good.) But the writing -- pithy, clever and heartfelt -- and direction are excellent. It's the kind of short-film where you can't understand how they were able to cram in so much story and character development in such a short run-time. That's called talent. Recommended. 3.9/5
Excellent work.
Pretty well done! Nice job
Soooooo good!!!
Loved this. all the right emotions, Well done.
I really enjoyed that. Thanks. It was fun.
loved it! very fun way to show the human element in eternity and how a clever guy got another chance to do good
I like this one. Cute, not too long and with a happy ending. Always a good time.
👍👍. Nice piece. Happy Holidays 😉🎄
That was great, thank you!
I was really surprised with this one. Funny, and clever but especially very good. Highly recommend it.
Loved it!
AWESOME ❤
really happy i stumbled along this project [: loving the vids
I can't believe this simple idea got made into a short. Gotta start somewhere I guess, but maybe a less obvious moral might be good
Sometimes we can watch a good short movie on this channel.
Today is the day.
This is one of the best Dust videos I have seen in a long time. I actually stopped watching Dust because it has become all space movies.
This was very well scripted very well acted.
this the content i subscribed for! Well done
Surprisingly uplifting. Thank you.
❤ different I really enjoyed it🇨🇦
Pretty much how it works! Love the story! Well done!
This is fantastic! Thank you so much for bringing Filipino actors on your short movie. 😊🥰
I hope when I stand in line I go to the heaven side so I can see my beloved Michael again and all my pets will be there so I can eternally take care of them. Maybe they’ll have an art supply store so I can make my hobby art and continue gifting for all eternity too.
This is a good story.
Made me smile.
Excellent! Funny and tear jerking.
So well done, thanks for sharing!👍👍
You forget the subtitles! (the English one!)
really enjoyed that one
🤣👏😂. Classic!! 🏆! If I were an actor or extra- I don’t know how I’d keep a Straight Face!! Do you have a BLOOPERS REEL for this filming!!??😅. 👴🏼NoBody. ( The Spirit of my Dead 87 year old Uncle spoke to me last year. He said once… ONCE!!.. he forgot to ‘ say God Bless You ‘ when someone near Sneezed…. He’s spending Eternity as a DMV clerk … Bandaid-ed Up Broken Eyeglasses… Empty of Ink Pens… ‘Someone’ stole & ate his Egg-Sandwich from the Break-room Fridge… HELL?!?!… HAA!! Well, you can rock me to sleep tonight!!😂)
Entertaining and sweet, a full story told in under 10 minutes. Well done! :)
🔥🦋🔥
Sweet!
Just beautiful!
Fave so far.
