Thank you Owen for the fantastic cover art: ...
Thanks for Watching!
This was pretty damn good writing with a moral ending, something most short films in this genre don't exhibit. If I had any criticism, it's the gas mask for the main character. It makes no sense, even if it had filters, there's no setup for why it might be necessary. Anyway, hope you guys keep making movies, great job!
I didn't understand the gas mask. I've worn one just to see what it would be like. It's very uncomfortable.
Yeah you definitely deserve the praise. Much much better than most of the award winners. I liked the mild flavor of disassociation. You didn't overdo it nor vilify it either. Thanks!
Loved this a lot. Shots and music were incredible and i'd love to see a sequel following this character with more world building+character development
Never stick someone with your only knife....and walk away leaving it embedded in their eye....just an idea
Yeah we noticed that a little too late, I think our script supervisor was just slacking off a bit haha
Didn't check the other guys for supplies either.
Yes definitely always get back a good knife.
An eye dea
oop's did u see the way he threw the radio away.....not for the enviroment.....bad boy...
Ngl this deserves an oscar… this was amazing
Thank you! We did our best :)
Liked movie, didn't start liking main character until partner started showing his weakness. Satisfied with the end, and almost desolate surroundings.
Sometime someone's weakness can be a real strength with that being said I'll go watch the movie now
Yes Definitely an A+ . Great Work on a Valuable Tic's & Tac's on Valuable life saving info . ..." TRUST NO ONE "
GREAT SHORT MOVIE . 🤑
the irony isn't lost on this viewer that the most developed social structure we see IS the war-band. They are the best bet for founding a new society.
U obviously are very ignorant on human development over time
This was really really good, you guys have a serious knack for filmmaking. Hats off to whoever was the cinematographer and composer, it really felt like I was watching a high budget Hollywood movie but the familiar locations would remind me that people my age made this. Great job on this.
Funny you should mention Hollywood. I just saw a Scott Adkins movie Close Range from this set opening scene. Kinda cool.
The composer is Paul McCartney, the song has been around for decades
Straight up bad ass. Absolutely enjoyed this movie.
EXCELLENT! I've literally watched 10.000 + movies.
BASICALLY its for kids.
Good ending for a post-apoc flick! Always count your bullets! Nice little film - the mood was great, everything well framed, etc. Keep it up!
Always??'...
🤔
Outstanding A+ and a thumbs up I really enjoyed the ending .
I seem to remember this from a year or two ago, or something quite similar. Very good!!! Thanks for posting!!!
Pretty good, well done and thanks for sharing.
Well done. Very good sound track.
A+ film - survival to the end.
AMAZING.
Loved the pace and the music fit perfectly
Thank you bro!! I definitely learned a whole ton of stuff about the filmmaking process through our old short films we used to make together, which really did help me with this film :D
@@yosefbenzion yea those old ones where not to bad
Just rewatched it and realized you still use the same font in the credits
@@yosefbenzion Dude the soundtrack is awesome! Often people just put music as random background when they're making short post-apocalyptic films; but yours follows what's happening in the plot, just like Hollywood movies do, and it's neither too loud nor too soft. The timing is on point!
And I've looked at the other comments what other people have said.
They love what you're doing you're on the right track don't give up no one ever hits it right off the bat.
Judging from what everyone has been saying on these comments you all did well all that are involved in this movie. There are loopholes and things to always keep in mind and don't let it get you down I'm watching the movie and subscribing because I want to see more Movie Makers continue like you guys did what you did in this film!
@Karl with a K Agreed. What are they thinking?
I've watched a lot of Apocalypse and disaster short films and this is the best I've seen!
Great job guys ! You'll learn from your mistakes with each movie you do. Keep it up !
Ah this was so cool!! The apocalyptic vibe was on point and I can tell so much work went into it. Wish I could do big projects like this too, for now I just make short apocalyptic videos for tiktok but maybe someday I’ll be doing this :)
great job man, great songs, good shots
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it!
WOW that was good! Great camera work, solid story with an unpredictable ending. Nice job.
3:48 This would make an awesome painting. It is quite a still shot with amazing scenery.
Yes it would!
My room has a post-apocalyptic theme, this would fit in well as a painting. . .
this was pretty cool
I loved it especially cause short films like this are less common nowadays.
Good movie, happy ending!
Great movie 🍿🎥
Wonderful shot you did really great
Obviously the Main character had been alone for quite some Time!!! So since all Supplies of any Form are most assuredly in Short Supply. Why then had he after Killing 8 People not taken EVERYTHING THAT THEY HAD??????????
really liked the whole film , especially the ending .
After seeing five post-apocalyptic tropes in the first few minutes--gas mask (filter-less), canned food (no rust), bashing someone's brains in with a crowbar, a map with black X marks, a radio that doesn't work--I was ready to hate on this movie, but I just couldn't. If Fallout Red Star and PUBG got married and had a baby, it would be this film. What's not to love about that? The camera work and voice-over were good, foley and music were great, the comic relief was perfect. I liked this movie against my will, so much that I forgave the bright city lights in the background, the shack with electric power from somewhere, battery-powered flashlights that still work without recharging, shiny-clean clothes, ambient voices in the background when they're in the desert, a guy with a $90 haircut, a weird plastic-looking revolver with no firing pin, and a crew member peeking from inside a tent. You did obey a critical rule of storytelling, though. When mask-man said, "Always count your shots," I thought to myself, that damn well better be foreshadowing, and it was. What a relief! Anyway, despite the rough spots, I think this was wonderful and shows movie-making aptitude. You should keep it up.
Thank you so much for the critique and kind words!!
This is soooo amazing. Only because it’s important to certain people, there were a lot of details that a survivalist would know *not* to do, while these actions not cause any labor on the narrative to support them. I guess that is what film consultants are for, yeah? Sorry for the bitching, but SERIOUSLY amazing work!
EXCELENT!
Bravo... my favorite part is when...
No spoilers! 😁
Not bad y'all, not bad at all... Although it's gotta be the cleanest post apocalypse movie I've ever seen, the brand new backpack and tents...lol, very funny to try to think post apocalypse when looking at brand new gear.
All & all though, pretty enjoyable short... I really liked the countryside you chose to film in and your choice of music was fitting.
And of course, you entertained me and that's what it was made to do, so good job.
Yeah, I noticed that too. New jeans, spotless white t-shirt, spotless white bottom tennis shoes...as you said new tents, etc. I don't understand why he camped at the bottom of the hills instead 'closer' to the top (but not at the very top) where his vantage point would be better, and it is more challenging for the enemy to climb up the hill instead of running down (as evidence in the closing scenes when the enemy was running down the hill at our hero). Or why there were electric lights in the shed. Or why he was wearing a gas mask when no one else was. Or why you would start a fire at night instead of the day....eat your food cold rather than give your location away with a fire at night that can be seen for a mile.
BUT LOVED THE FILM!!! A singular, short. to the point real life exercise. Loved the ending....the kid believes there's "humanity" and wants our hero to submit to that ideology at the risk his life (and trust the enemy); but the kid himself is willing to kill the very person who spared his life, showing humanity, and who was teaching him how to survive the inhumanity of man.
The kid is typical of people who refuse to accept reality; want everyone else to accept their fantasy belief system and live life by their fantasy rules, but then break their own rules in the name of this same ideology thinking this will further this same ideology...ugh? Where I come from these people are generally called...well don't want to get political.
There is so much more to be said, but I am not good at saying it...(guess I'm better at criticizing)...and because of that I respect the effort put into this film. LOVED THIS FILM! LOVED THIS FILM!
@@MaryCasey1100 Thank you so much for such a great comment!
We did our best with our nonexistent budget and limited time and crew members, but are very proud of it and the deeper message that seems to hide under the surface!
We’ve learned a lot from this project and will continue to grow and get better because of it.
Thanks again!
camera work and sounds track are excellent.
Good film made even better by the music of Paul McCartney and Wing's Wild Life
I should add that I have shared the film link with two Quora spaces I own and a couple of other spaces for Paul McCartney and or the Beatles
Thanks, I really enjoyed this!
And awesome soundtrack mixing -- you integrated it really well, it wasn't just music in the background, it reflected the plot and the action on-screen. That's quite rare in post-apocalyptic short films.
Also I liked the contrast between the two main characters. And although the guns are fake, that's one thing I can ignore under "Suspension of Disbelief" when a movie is otherwise well made.
Liked and subbed! 👍
you can't trust anyone in that situation....................... you're better off alone
please make a series of this this being the pilot episode.
👍💯🔥
Really enjoyed this movie. After he saved the guy and taught him how to survive the guy turned on him. Yep, very good movie.
Yeah, the dude was an idealist in an unidealistic world. He proved to be an incurable sort.
Probably the most realistic take on the dog eat dog world
Pretty good 👍🐴🇸🇰
Good short... The crazy part about these apocalypse short is the one guy who always wears this mask like he's Darth Vader...
good video, thank you
That’s mentryville! I used to live near there and I had a good laugh as I showed my family members.
Walks off and leaves his knife, and failed to search the bodies.... definitely won't survive long.
Makes me ponder... who's the real animal ?😎🙄😎
I swear I could hear an airplane at 27:00, also the speech / lips moving is off by 0,5 seconds at that time. Still awesome to
watch!
"The only way to survive in this feral world, is to look out for yourself. ONLY, yourself", that's me.
Loved it will show to friend that the end my look like this
The one thing missing was looting the dead
this is garbarge. dog barking, you did not hide, you are wide open and now you are dead
Well there goes humanity!
The guy's packing a cheapie hand pump single shot .177 caliber pellet rifle!
Absolutly amazing. But i saw the camerman's shadow
Enjoyed the movie. Wish it had been longer
Good show
Very cool
Great job....Peace
The ultimate survival rifle: The Daisy Powerline. LOL
That kid was only holding him back anyway... Pointing a gun at him fir protecting him
Overall, not bad. But you missed some details... For exemple, the window (no bullet hole) in the sniping scene, could be easily done in after effects. Anyway, keep it up!
Damn good!
👏👏👏😀 congratulations! Is good!
At one point, it looks like they were trying not to laugh, (the scene where they're contemplating a plan to kill the protagonist) almost broke character. Lol, other than that I enjoyed watching this short movie. Subscribed! 👍
Wheew that was a good ending.
The music was great is there going to be any more to this or was this the only one. I will subscribe to find out but if there's not anymore and I may unsubscribe we'll see
Better props would have made this movie better, but the writing sent it up! the director should look into realistic airsoft guns next film, I'll bet a dealer would loan a few out in trade for mention in the credits!
Crossman pellet gun used by main character..
make a full length feature film please.
One day!
I second this request 🙏🏽
Many post-apocalyptic short movies lose my attention early on, so I don't watch the whole thing. But yours kept me watching.
The action is superb 👌so well choreographed
Well done! Would love to see you do something here in new Orleans!
No fence you're using pellet guns
Makes me want to play dayz,this is just like that game.
that guy was pain in ass i swear naive 0 rational at the end even wanted to kill the guy with Gas mask for what defending himself against an ambush😂
GOOD ONE
Right on nephew, next time count your shots!👍
Why do some people wear gas masks....and some don't?
I can't speak for the filmmakers, but I think this is realistic, because people were doing this during the pandemic too -- some wore masks, some didn't, some wore two or three. . . People do some weird things when something unexpected happens.
@Lol a gas mask is not armor.
@Lol I'm thinking you never worked with this equipment...
@Lol that was my entire point from the beginning. That the mask was pointless.
@Lol sure guy.
That is the first time I have seen an auto revolver, Cool
I forgot this was an indie film lol
A Very Nice Movie 👍
I believe in you don't stop doing what you're doing
Should be illegal to use screenwriters below the age of 10. But I guess if Hollywood may, then so can everyone: Aequalitatem omnibus.
Nice work Yosef (and all those involved) what camera did you guys use? hope you make more of these and perfect your craft :D
Thank you so much for the kind words! The film was shot on a Canon R6 mounted on a DJI RSC 2 gimbal.
Has the feel of book of eli or the road. Also reminded me ALOT of fallout new vegas.
Main character didn't have a filter on his mask, but I'd rather have something over nothing, plus it conceals identity. Eh?
18:28 electricity works in a post apocalyptic world..!!!! How is it post apocalypse then
Sorry about my lack of intelligence, but why some guys use gasmask and others don´t?
i had no idea darth vader was in a different movie ! what a hero, all with a respirator on - it was ok, but i didnt see the hero looking for anything conducive to life, car, food, new canister for his respirator, females - i suggest if you are ever in this situation, dont be so mean to your pencil, it might break, then what ?
Very true a knife is a hard tool to re place even you have more of them 😉🤣😉
Good short movie
Great ending!!!
Good effort, but you could do with a military/survival consultant. You will all get better with experience. Still, better than most t movies being made today. I like the motivation!
Awesome 😎
The weapon handling needs some training and familiarization. Why would anyone through their scoped rifle to the ground...for drama, I guess. Not well researched.
Well, it IS just a pellet rifle.
Wrong outlook! Sheepdog not lone wolf! We kick ass as a team. We need more Sheepdogs!
Depends on each sheepdog. Some people I'd trust to travel with, others I wouldn't.
silliness
He has a pellet gun
If you can hire me I can probably make it look very real. And I would do it for free being a Movie Maker myself don't give up never surrender no prisoners!
