More About "The Fore-Men":
A mysterious and earth altering event has fused together random slices of land, sea, air and flora and fauna from four billion years of Earth’s past into the present day.
Three weeks after the event, it’s clear that this “temporal crash” has made the
air and water a contaminated slurry of ancient and modern chemicals and microbes. They
are slowly killing off animals and survivors, including paleontologists, Sam, and Roger.
After discussing the inevitable threats awaiting them, Roger brings up an encounter he had with
something - or someone -- he ran into while Sam was away on a supply run. A strange humanoid visitor unlike anything Roger had seen, stalked the premises before vanishing from Roger’s memory.
Before deciding to leave their rundown shelter to find help, the same strange visitors Roger saw return.
Demonstrating a strange and destructive power, Sam desperately attempts to fire at the figure only to find that time has skipped ahead into the following morning when Roger’s pneumonia has advanced beyond repair.
After burying Roger’s corpse, Sam marches outward through a wasteland of time only
to find the nearest city underwater. But her pain is short-lived as she comes face to face with --
The Fore-Men.
After a tense confrontation goes south, Sam dies staring at the back of her own ancient
Corpse -- a circle of death and degradation repeated incrementally across the beach.

These short films are like potato chips, once you start watching, you end up binge-watching.
Swear lmao
No ..... this was trash
Maybe those dark brown greasy spoiled potato chips. I've watched about a dozen of Dust's latest offerings and they've all been dark and depressing not to mention predictable. All the films I viewed belong in a landfill.
Always a bunch of negative people. Short low budget mind benders are great. They're so dependent on strong imaginations.
They really are
That final shot with her body decaying over time is crazy! 😱
This is where it's at people. Support these kind of indie works, this wuld be a banger of an opening scene for a movie.
Yeah yeah whatever.
Can't wrap my head around it - how much can these people pack in less than 15 minutes!!!! Amazing and fantastic work. Huge fan of DUST
She was being studied while studying...with the same result occurring in parallel.
Nailed it!
I love the strangeness of encountering beings from distant times, past and future. This was so otherwordly.
What a fascinating concept. I’d love to see this “time compression” idea explored even more. The visuals of the fore-men were insanely good. I’ve seen a lot of sci-fi, THIS is special.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Now THIS. This was impressive. I would love to see a feature film or series based on this short. Amazing premise, characters, everything.
That final shot was absolutely gorgeous, and the design work on your Fore-Men was at the same time original and highly reminiscent of the plague doctors of medieval Europe. Cool movie.
The Fore-men reminded me of the Tech-Priests from WH 40,000K.
The beaked "plague doctor" mask is an invention of the Italian theatre in the late Renaissance. It's not medieval whatsoever.
@@Nickname-hier-einfuegen the more you know.
The final shot seemed to show her body at a sequence of future times slowly fossilizing.
You got it.@@squeakeththewheel
Dystopian with a capital D. Sophia Walker did a great job with this character. And, the floating-ring redlight people were well imagined. This one is high quality and very original.
You knew she had to be smart when she used the phone in landscape mode for the photo.
This short shocked me hard because at the scene with deformed city I remembered I occasionally have been having those dreams where our planet starts to change in that way throughout my life. A lot of anomalies hapenning, objects and parts of regions of space combinging with each other, people having different rapid genetic mutations, encounters with diferent otherworldy creatures.
And this short has an atmosphere of those dreams.
Wow. Kudos to everybody who made this masterpiece. The amount of creativity shown here is beyond limits.
Wonderful actress. She nailed every scene and brought it to life for the viewer.
WOW. Props on the visuals throughout. The Fore-men looked amazing. The house with the nautilus fused to it? How disturbing and yet beautiful was that? I am agog at the quality of this movie. Great acting, storytelling, and I can't get over how the visuals are more intense than Hollywood blockbusters.
They're getting worse with each case, lamer and lamer.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Every time I see the evolutionary scale I can’t get the meme out my head.
“Go back we fuhked up”.
This was one of the most scary short films I've seen. I'm mesmerized by it and terrified. This film must be entered into film festivals. A real winner here.
Really interesting concept, it almost seems like the Fore-Men are compressing/repeating time to achieve something in their favor. Their interest in modern humans makes me think they're trying to change, observe, or alter how humans will eventually evolve into them.
Interest in modern humans? We would be old humans to them.
There were no modern Human, they were all dying off... I thing they were more interested in the History of the Planet in General. Maybe they were trying to find their missing link but their concern for humans was non-existent
@leonestello8519 i agree with this but im not so sure about them being concerned about their missing link.
I like to think they were just paleontologists studying the past as well.
Better than anything coming out of any Hollywood studio.
Dust is the best and finest Sci-Fi channel on CZcams. Thank you to all the creators.
Loved it! The creatures with all of those cables and red lights coming out of them was very cool. Nice job!
My guess is cameras of some sort documenting everything. Fantastic piece!
This needs to be expanded to a 6/8 episode series.
Awesome! Mind-bending Sci-Fi! I loved it!
Death stranding vibes with this, so cool!
I really want to see more of this world. Would love to see a longer, expanded version of this. So much fertile ground here, so original, and so well done.
I absolutely love the concept...wish it were made into a full-length film.
Holy shit. Hollywood studios wish they could come up with something this good. Absolutely phenomenal.
Sophia Walker & Gabriel Darku, both with strong vivid acting, and of course Adrian Bobb the imaginative writer, director, VFX, impressive
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
WHAT KINDA DOPE WERE THEY SMOKING WHEN THEY CAME UP WITH THIS!?!?!?
This is Outstanding. Need more of this story please!!!
Awesome! Imaginative and entertaining... and that surprise ending was EXCELLENT!
Thank you!!!
This short deserves a TV series or a movie!
This film was a totally unique concept which I believe was well executed. It left me wanting more. Time is not a straight line. For those of you who need some help understanding what happened the description explains the concept pretty well.
Yet another excellent short movie. So many talented writers, actors, directors and so on making these great shorts, while in Hollywood we mostly get sequels to 1970's movies.
I don't know which was more cinematically impressive... the opening scene
or the final shot. The story, the acting, the imagery, this film was just amazing.
We're those giant snails on that house, early on??? Weird!!!!
Ammonites
Superb. The story, concept, acting, CGI and images, all among the best of current cinema. Amazing how much can be packed into 15 minutes. Superb.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Well done!! This is so cool! Thanks! Finally, no boring zombies!
Now this was a very thought provoking presentation. Very nicely done.
What an excellent Sci-Fi short film! Supurb acting, and really original "Aliens"? The giant snails or ammonites, were a great touch. Thanks for aiming high.
I think they aimed too high.
Haha, the giant Ammonites really did exist that size, there’s one leaning against a wall or certainly did years ago near Lyme Regis in the UK that was the size of a mini, so they do get huge ✅ gigantism in pre history, what a time, but loving the concept of time observers, though travelling back in time is deemed scientifically impossible, so the concept is good but unless humanity finds a way, then the beings must be from another plane of reality to our own, another dimension ✅
Truly enjoyed this. Left me wanting it to have lasted longer. ❤
Thank you for the kind words!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Anazing: I LOVE the "aliens , very very cool !
they have so many bangers on this channel but this one really captured me
reminds me so much of death stranding, God i love it, great work!
I think we just had a DUST movie
DUST movies are like grapes
One is never enough
Watching this while enjoying a glass of wine.
that break-action pellet gun lol
Excellent acting, filming sound.. Brilliant star of a film🌟🔥
So the future "fore-men" excavated her fossilized bones and then compressed time to go back to see her as she died? Their "event" though caused massive disruptions to her current timeline before her death, even contributing to her demise in a way that wouldn't have happened without their "event" interfering.
❤
@@A_M_Bobb I am honored by a response from the filmmaker. Thank you for responding. And thanks for doing such an excellent job making this short film.
Thank you for the kind words and I'm happy you enjoyed it :)@@chrisbiro1
Hi, yeah... can I get the full-length movie and some fries, please?
oufff.... how amazing. Excelent... I wish to see more!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Would really like to hear the whole story. Is there a whole story ? Excellent work.
Absolutely fascinating, more please!
Turn this into a full-length movie now and get it in theaters, I want to go see it.
I would for sure too. It is definitely the sort of short which downright demands to be developed further. It could be a great success.
Sophia Walker is a great actor and she is exactly the type of person who can represent the complexity of endeavouring to understand that which is entirely alien to us,
That was awesome! I'm so confused! I love being confused!!! Don't unconfuse me!!!
LOL, me too!
Mesmerizing.
Elements of "Annihilation" and "Death Stranding", come to mind,. Maybe also the "Last and First Men". Overall though this is a very good concept. I could see this idea being expanded on. Well done.
L&FM - wonderful 100-year-old book. Loved it back in the '50s.
@@ecphorizerThere was a film made a few years back by Johann Johanson, based on the book.I learnt it about it then. The film is mostly imagery and instrumental music, but was also narrated by the actress Tilda Swinton. The trailers for it are on you-tube, and various clips and reviews. It might interest you.
@@ecphorizerCan you give details of that book please?
Interesting. I want to see more
Great way to convey this idea. Thanks!
Someone was heavily inspired by Stephen King's "The Langoliers." One of my favorite "time displacement" movies. Also... maybe, Ray Bradbury's "A Sound Of Thunder", several Twilight Zone Episodes, and perhaps even "The Butterfly Effect"... or even the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror.
Excellent.
Would love to see more of this original concept. Nicely done. You've piqued our interest.
This was awesome!!!❤
Wow! Really enjoyed it! Thanks!
This was super creative...👍
Interesting concept idea, and Futuristic Biological hybrid Technological intelligent creatures. Awesome CGI .
I love the grainy film!
Another excellent video.
Super great script, acting and special effect. 5 stars!
Sally had feathers? Bird-like dinosaurs did exist.
The more we find the more dinos with feathers appear to have been common.
Especially the theropods, which this looked like.
In fact, modern specialists use the term "non-avian dinosaurs" for the ancient extinct beasts:
Because at this point the know that technically: Birds ARE just one the familiy of dinosaurs who survived and diversified. Birds are avian dinosaur.
dafaq man! Where's the full movie. Make one now. Like right now. I cannot wait.
What da heck? Went right over my head I guess. Very intriguing however. It bent my mind, if that was the goal? Im really digging this channel. There are some pretty cool productions in here. Thanks for keeping me entertained😎👍
Massively creative! We need more of this!
Much more to come!
Wonderful.
Very good short movie! I really liked it!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Brilliant! Riveting from start to finish!
Why can't movies be that good
I liked the music
This could have been a movie, Sophia Walker is a gem 💎, I hope to see more of her. So much emotion in this film..... I'm not worthy
Slick thought-provoking
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow!
Very interesting concept exploration...
This is just absolutely amazing imo. Insanely well-put-together and compelling as all-get-out!
This was a REALLY cool concept. I hope we can see more.
Amazing film
Cool.😮
nice one
Just found E-X-T another cool one by Adrian Bobb!
Yes that one is also dope... Hint of Anime in that one, like a "Ghost in the Shell" vibe. Good call.
Wow, just wow. You created such an amazing world with stunning visuals and a capturing story.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
It's like a dystopian Jurassic Park!
Phenomenal!!! I need a series with a backstory.
На удивление хорошо для данного контента отыграла актриса ,обычно здесь игра актёров на уровне студентиков с улицы..аплодирую
recitazione e colonna sonora sono magnifiche, oltre a tutto il resto
I disagree. Usually the acting in the films DUST shows are very, very good. All the film makers make high quality films. I or you may not like them all, but the acting is very professional.
I have seen a rare few where the acting needs improvement. But this film wasn't one of them.
@@annemckeon6532 Сколько людей столько и мнений..,потому спорить не буду
Good job on that opening shot where she takes the picture with the PROPER orientation for data gathering.
Very creative creatures and interesting world building. I'd like to see more of it.
I wish there some more scenes!!!! I found the short film intriguing!!!! I have watched it several times on repeat!!!! I feel compelled to figure out the story/mystery!!!! LOL!!! 😂😂😂😂 I keep repeating certain scenes and dialog to pick up clues!!!! That note book was a clue!!! When she showed that dude, that picture of what looked like a dying dinosaur (Sally) on her cell phone!!! That's a clue!!! When the dude said he saw those humanoid figures with that stuff stinking out of them!!!! I think they were breathing equipment and scientific probe instruments!!!! They may have been aliens from another planet!!!! Doing a study of humans and other life forms that existed on our planet through out time!!!! I'm thinking these aliens brought the creatures to life to let them roam around for observation!!! I don't know!!!! Or maybe these aliens are terraforming !!!! 😮😮😮😮 OH dear!!!! I want to solve the mystery!!!! LOL!!!
Glad you had a good time :) And there's even more little details throughout (especially in the end)!
@@A_M_Bobb I wondered why I saw what looked like several bodies in an arch? Did she die several times in different ways?
@@stephendavis4241 Same way. It's the beach that's in different times...
That was good... ☝️😎
🖤♥🖤
Great Film
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool😮
Last time I go in the woods
Two thoughts. Yes great filming, Characters & costume, But, what's the story line. Forgive me, I want a begining & an end !
It definitely made me think. Well done!
I couldn't ask for more. Glad you enjoyed it!
full series, please
Interesting concept, and that final shot was fantastic!
Glad you enjoyed it!
