More About "Fearfully Made":
When Arthur’s wife, Maggie, is taken into a nursing home, his daughter buys him a care robot. Frustrated by his lack of independence, Arthur is no fan of his new 'carer', but things take a darker turn when she begins to block his attempts to call Maggie. Desperate to make contact and feeling like a prisoner in his own home, Arthur plans to escape to the nursing home to be with Maggie again.

Hello everyone, Jamie here (writer/director of Fearfully Made) very happy to answer any questions you may have about the film!
Are you aware that's a quote from Psalm 139, Jamie? I just wondered how you came to choose it.
@@benkennington8941 I am indeed, it came out of my thinking about the way we like to concieve of current 'AI' as opposed to what it actually (to me at least) appears to be. We like to imagine we are in the God position of creating beings, to imagine we're living in Bladerunner when actually our 'AI' is not a fearful and wonderful, separate creation with all the potential for hurt and love before it. I think it's been picked up on in some of the comments but Aria, as an AI, is an indescriminate mirror of behaviour and I think the mixture of such a machine, like an algorithm with a face, and a flawed free-will human is a terrifying prospect.
Also I was about to become a father at the time and that quote really chimed in with my worries about having a new human in my care!
Hi, Jamie i love this short movie...hope u make more short film with female robot become main character or something...
What a wonderful movie this is. Have you written/directed something else? Or anything in the works maybe?
@@matsnordstrom5987 Thanks! This was my first and currently only proper short, I have another short and a feature written that I'm looking for producers for - I'm also just beginning to write a second feature that I hope may be easier to produce on a shoestring 🙂
One of the best short sci fi films I have seen in a long time. This film mildly subverts our expectations, but by doing so they kept the story real. And it is a story/message that needs to be said, often and clearly and compellingly. Thanks!
It really appeared to me that the antagonist/"villain" actually was trying to do the right thing. But they were so short sighted that they couldn't see that what their actions caused more harm to our protagonist than any fall onto a stony pavement could ever do. The indignity of removing our power to choose inflicts a wound that runs deeper than any set of gardening sheers could ever cause. When his daughter finally.... well, I'll just say, Great ending!
Thanks, I think those who are trying to do the right thing make the most compelling antagonists 🙂
Exceptional for a student film. We're going to see this filmmaker make some serious films in the near future. Exceptionally gifted in storytelling.
Well said
If this was made as a student film, cannot wait to see what you do as Professionals!!
I just can’t say enough about the talent and creativity of everyone who creates these stories, their actors and crew that make these possible. Every story, EVERY story has been multitudes better and superior to the crap nowadays. I haven’t went to a theater or paid to watch a movie in a couple of decades because of the quality or lack there of.
Based on the years of experience with the quality of Dusts shorts, I would definitely pay a subscription fee for this channel. I would happily go to a theater and watch a two hour movie of Dust shorts. They could have three or four shorts per show. I hope that the creators, crew and actors get paid well. If they do, it is definitely not enough!
Thank you, the creators of this Dust channel for sharing these amazingly talented and creative peoples work with us! Much love and admiration!

It's mildly amusing and immensely frustrating that Hollywood has abandoned making really good, engaging and immersive dramatic movies in favor of the same old fast-n-furious ridiculousness or superhero centric, waste of money, action movie junk. We have here in DUST great examples of how movies used to be and should be. I do not think I've seen one yet that didn't have charm and merit. Great collection. DUST is doing something very right.
Absolutely heart breaking, it has been a long time since anything moved me like this, kudos to the film maker, you will do great things.
Very, very well done. A difficult subject, but excellent acting and "mis-en-scene". Music and photography were also excellent.
I liked your blend of futuristic holograms and life-like robotics, combined with the 2000s looking TTfone technology with extra large, easy to read number pads- especially when it was the robot using the old tech phone.
Jessica Blake did an outstanding job as Aria. I enjoyed the performances of the other actors as well, but it's kind of funny to me that sometimes it takes more acting skills to act emotionless than to act out emotions. Probably because displaying emotions is something we all do and are familiar with, but being emotionless in situations that would normally evoke emotions is something that is unusual for us. I think portraying a convincing robot would actually be more of a challenge, and Jessica nailed it.
Magnificent short film.
Another said special effects to serve the story...so true. SF really is best when 85% normal, recognizable life situations, interspersed with tech.
Also, as others said..well done students!
About 1 million times better than the bbc or netflix
I've watched this many times. Still brings tears to my eyes. My wife and I are getting on in years, but just a fire going, a good movie, this is nice to see. And yes, I argue alot with her. Lol
Even though it's a theme that has been out there for decades. This short , by the quality of the scenario and the play of the actors made it very enjoyable and worthwhile to view. The special effects are there to serve the story and not the way around. Thank you to the team. ❤
Wow amazing!!! I’m binge watching all you videos now since I found this channel amazing work thank you!!
You guys are *SO CLOSE TO 3 MILLION SUBS!* Got anything planned??
Guess not lol
Moved to tears! Thanks!!!
VERRY-VERRY TOUCHING-SAD STORY....ABOUT LONELINESS IN ELDERLY..! thank you
no way I'm getting an AI caretaker for my mum! my family better never get one for me!!
I love Dust and the content cant say it enough!!
This is one of the best on Dust. And on CZcams.
Period.
Thanks for having CC enabled
Certified Gold!!!!!
That was such terrific acting!
2023: In future robots will care for us.
2032: We became robots.
I enjoyed this film❤❤thank you 🌺🌺
Amazing work. Such a sad story. Well done.
This one evokes strong emotions
This was very well done, congratulations to all involved thank you.
It's an allegory of what so many experienced during the peak of the pandemic. So many, for our own safety, couldn't go and see loved ones who died alone and on their own.
Nah you believed the propaganda and made a choice to let your loved ones die alone, many of us could see the PLANdemic for what is was and none of our family members died alone.
So in the end the AI Bot got the KISS OF DEATH?
NO! She pretended that she was turned off. It's just part of her plan. Don't worry, everyone will be safe.
@@ToyotaKTM Haha! Love that idea 😆
Just brilliant.....
I loved it, I loved how it was made.
Thanks a lot!!
Lovely work! Thanks for this!
Brilliant in all respects!
This is good.
Well done, y'all... ☝️😎
Sci fi i love this themes thanks from puerto rico Great work
This is incredible work.
Bravo!
These sci-fi dramas should be on sky box set 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍
Top notch.
While it is always amusing to worry about Frankenstein's monster, the reality of actual care homes is horrific - low paid staff who too often take out their frustrations on helpless patients. As is always the case, we don't need to worry about hypothetical monsters under the bed, because it is we ourselves who are our greatest enemy.
That was amazing. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
Very thought provoking...When does 'care' for the elderly become a prison.
I have those same pruning shears. They are much, much sharper than how sharp they are represented in this film. How sharp are they you ask? Really, really sharp.
There is amazing talent and creativity on Dust (to quote comcastjohn, below). BUT... Why is there such a predominance of depressive content? Almost every film leaves me sad, hopeless and full of dread for mankind's future. Surely there is an optimistic version of the future that someone can share? Where is the uplifting content that got me into SciFi in the first place?
it´s a sad world out there 😅
Brutal and wonderfully told. Many kudos and grats on an amazing 19min experience.
Really good production .❤
It's Quality work-you could be the next 'Rod Serling'! 😃
The subtitles are 2.2 seconds behind, if someone could correct that.
Fearfully made, watched tearfully...😊 It's completely loaded like... emotinal content versus intelligent behaviour.... result ..emotional tears ..😅only missing were humanoid mourners in the climax...!
It was probably a good short, but the music was too loud and I couldn’t understand anything. I had to keep rewinding just to catch a few words. Did the daughter realize the robot was a jerk and deactivate her? Why didn’t it let him make calls to his wife? So confusing.
Grrreat flick. Kudos and best wishes for your awesome cinematic future.
Exceptional 😘😘😘😘😘
Such a good movie, Jamie Foreman you are on your way to stardom thats for sure
Really good 🎉
Is it shameful to admit that I clicked on this video because the nurse is really cute and totally my type?
Yes I know, how shallow am I?! 😔
Ona positive note, this is an amazing film and great concept. Visually and aesthetically pleasing 💜💜💜
Thank you for your dedication to the craft Jamie
Daniel; you ain't shallow...just a healthy male feeling what he's supposed to feel, at least on this Planet!
This was wonderful!
Another wonderful episode.
It is sad that is the beach available to the film crew.
Makes us appreciate our beaches so much more as resources (including filming)
Stay strong 💪 Mighty Warriors 🤠 Much love to everyone and their families from Cedar City Utah USA currently 🤠💪🙏🏵️🤠🙏
Excellent
Poignant.
The Computer 🖥️ Age.
The human touch.
The Soul.
Wow. This was great and mildly depressing. Well done.
Bellissimo
Thank you all
This film is just perfect.
Very nicely done. You have a bright future ahead of you.
Good one
nice film
This was an excellent film.
Good film. Enjoyed it. Sets the mind thinking about where we're going with AI and machines we make to help us. Will the machines learn the differences between the people they were made to help and actually help, or perhaps imprison us for our safety? I wonder though, is what we have now that's supposed to help us actually helps? Seems there's a pill for every illness. The doctor prescribes a pill but seldom tells you of all if any side effects that might come with it. At some point you may need a pill for some side effect which comes with that pill, and so on. People normally live longer now with the help of modern medicine. Does that mean we are customers longer? More money for the health care system? Would that be the way machines would "help" us? For our "safety"? Aside from my over thinking, excellent work on this film. Well written and acted. Accompanying music was fitting for the story.
"I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers."
Lmao “Good Fellas”
I don’t understand what you mean. Would you mind explaining please?
That line you qouted is from the movie good fellas…one of the mafia guys Nickname was Johnny 2times I believe, because he said everything twice lmao
@@TheGTeam50 Correcto!!
You really captured the way i imagine my wife and I might be like in ten years.
We can build a sophisticated Android robot, but we cannot build a washing machine that has a silent hum?
See any silent vacuums now?
Location of the beach scenes please? I've been to most parts of the British coastline but don't immediately recognise the dark sand of this one 🤔
Marvahilosa !!!!
The android is painfully beautiful.
Definitely designed to prompt an emotional response 😢😢😢!
A very nicely done film. I don't know why it is sci-fi and I also wonder why Dust films always end in disaster. Will every movie in the future be considered sci-fi if there is any sort of technology anywhere in the video?
“Your future is dust.”
Não entendi, mas adorei. I didn't understand, but I loved it. 😄
I want to see one about UAP - UFOs and trying to find or encounter them. I think Dust has the talent and ability to tell a very good story about this subject that’s now taken seriously. anyone else agree give this comment a thumbs up.
Aha, there it is:
UFOMO | An Optimistic SciFi Short Film | Alien Abduction Romantic Comedy
@@DistracticusPrime I’m watching it now, first opinions is that’s it’s not up to Dusts level of quality.
@@Biketunerfy Hmm, yeah, I remember it being very low budget. Dust seems to go for nihilism, so that's two strikes against UFOMO. But it was sweet, so I liked it anyway.
@@DistracticusPrime it’s was a bit of tongue and cheek but it at least they were brave enough to make produce and put it on CZcams for everyone to enjoy. I’m not biased against shoe string budget movies because you have to start somewhere and if you got some enjoyment out of it so be it. You can tell those people were not actors but it is not the worst movie short Ive seen that’s for sure. The editing is was ok.
_With Folded Hands_ Jack Williamson, 1947
I am afraid that is the future,,, 😂
Fearfully and wonderfully made - yes, Felco really are the best secateurs.
Truthfully robotic assistance could be great for elderly.
Interesting story, maybe in a monitored and controlled environment like a nursing home maybe artificial care takers could be applicable, interesting story though, however, being able to get into the mind of the elderly and empathize with how the world appears from their mind kept me intrigued. Thank you. I think we all have this general fear of what the natural aging process feels and looks like in relationship to the world around us.
The robot mishandled things, but if you've ever participated in elderly care, you might have a more forgiving view of things. This is not to say that the arrangement was in any way sensible, but then, you need to have things go off the rails for a story to take place. I wonder what the daughter whispered to the robot at the end.
She whispered the command to shut down.
@@interzone2000 That makes sense!
To bad it begins in the dark.
Thank you for sharing this.
If the League of Gentlemen made Dust films , by heck that wer grand .
What is his daughter whispering into Arias ear in the end?
Some magic words that make her shut (the fuck) down.
The big questiom... who's in charge...
🥺
I've always find these robots and AIs creepy!
This could have been improved by have her shove the old guy right off one of those cliffs, to protect him from pain.
Difficult to understand much of the dialog.
Turn the subtitles on.
no endings on most of these.
Deactivate or reprogram her software ASAP. Honestly, this feature in future Androids needs to be fixed today to prevent situations like this. I welcome AI but not when they can overpower their programmers and operators.
Jfc, how do you guys keep doing this? I don't know how many DUST shorts I've watched at this point, and with every single one you hit it out of the park. Some are just a wild ride, you have no idea what's coming, and you walk away just going "Wow!". Others are easy to see what is going to happen, or it's a very classic story, but they're always well made and enjoyable. Some are hilarious, some are thought-provoking, some are cool and exciting. And then there are the ones like these, that tug at your heart-strings in a way that feels genuine and makes you think.
Basically, what I'm saying is, I hope everyone who works with DUST just feel the pride in what you're giving us with these wonderful stories! Oh, and heading over to your website to pick up some stuff from your store, happy to send some money your way :)
