Hey, I’m the writer and director and would love to answer any questions you have about the film! I’m so excited to be back on ALTER with ‘Scooter’ - you might have seen ‘Lucy’s Tale’ a few years back. Big thank you to the cast and crew and to the folks at ALTER for supporting ‘Scooter’. Happy watching!
Incredible job! Any plans for full length films?
@@daniellemillion855 TYSM! Yes to a feature! But a brand new story - you can expect some more scares ha!
Yo this movie is pretty damn awesome!!! After the way it started totally had no idea it was going to go in the direction it did you and your whole crew are awesome
The demonic scream as the camera shot over to the chicken mascot was immaculate
@@micaelal661 We definitely leaned into the fried chicken bit haha I'm so glad you dug it!
The moral of the story is do not stop for a burger and fries when you have a demon in the back of the van.
Hi there! I’m the producer of 'Scooter', and I'm thrilled to reconnect with the Alter community for another short film. Thanks for watching! Feel free to ask any questions, like how much fried chicken we had to devour to secure that location!
Hell to the Yeah!!!
Loved it
LOL. How much fried chicken? And how did you secure such a great cast. Every single one did a great acting job. Superb camera and direction and obviously great production overall.
Great film, really loved it. Btw, how was the chicken?
Food looked tasty….. 👌
The back windows being up with the top down is the most monstrous thing in this video
Fair. haha Funny enough. this was inspired by a van i see parked near my work 😬
@@ChelseaLupkinI got not so good memories white occasional same van in my childhood trust me
This was awesome. Highly entertaining and suspenseful. Love the guy flying past the window while the restaurant worker is completely oblivious to a demonic attack in the parking lot.
That stunt had us giggling for a good 45 minutes haha we used a trampoline and a crash pad
I started laughing 😭
@@Sstars4dessiiii Love that!!!
This movie triggered the fuck out of me within 40 seconds . It gave me all the feels, rage, anxiety, suspense and intense gratification when she dumped his ass!
He needed to GO! haha
everything comes full circle ;) Thank you so much!
@@sarahkalagvano you’re welcome!!
@@ChelseaLupkinHell yeah!
oof my stomach dropped within a minute, wish that so many of us didn't feel that dialogue like a knife in the ears because of its painful familiarity
Too many people know that guy. I hope they get the courage to leave too!
The beginning was so... familiar. Very accurate. Good job on this! ❤
This actress is so wonderful, absolute excellent in every scene and every emotion.... the story and the meaning were fabolous too!
She was a joy to work with! We casted her one week before the shoot. It was stressful to find the read leading lady!
The first couple of minutes sure give me flashbacks 😟 This short movie is good!👍🏻
Thank you! It’s definitely a familiar kind of horror 😢
In summary, male partners ARE subhuman partners in the end
I've been through this 😢
@@deannas2778 Which means all of your former partners were criminals and bad guys in the end, yes?
Outstanding film!!! My only beef is that the jerk in the convertible didn’t get ripped to shreds.
Oh don't worry, he will ;)
Thanks @jamesmccoysr.3595! He'll get what's coming to him...
Don’t worry, he’ll be demonic beef jerky,
He obviously will dude
It leads you to believe he’ll get his though .. slow and painful.
I can't give it away but I think she's more of an angel! I'd like to see more of a story like this.
This! Oh my goodness yes! 🙌
Seriously was in a 3 year relationship with 1 of those. Literally felt like they played out a page in my diary. Proud of her
I'm so happy to hear you escaped your Heston!
Loving seeing women have eachother's back.
Same!!! We need each other
@@ChelseaLupkinnah, women have always been bullying me.
That’s why I have no friends, I wish, but women have been very nasty to me, since I was a little girl, terrible experiences, also don’t have male friends 👍🏻, so I’m not a “pick me” if you want to hurt me w that
never happened to me👍🏻
@@rossandrachel21I don't want to hurt you with anything, I'm sorry you've had bad experiences with people in the past. It's never too late to make or be a friend, I hope you meet someone nice enough to fit the bill one day.
Bad ass short, that dude had coming...
Alter you have some wicked shorts and I love your style...
Thank you so much! Have you seen Lucy’s Tale by any chance?
@@ChelseaLupkin no I haven't but will check it out...
I've been getting into the shorts as of recently... Never been into the shorts before but love the straight to the point and realize shorts are better than some long winded movies...
Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 5:22 @@mikeyhonnii6197
To anybody who reads these comments before watching no spoilers but this movie is freaking awesome!
oh my gosh! Thank you so much for watching!!!
@@ChelseaLupkin you are so welcome and I'm not even kidding this is like the best movie alters put out in a while
Thank you
@@sarahkalagvano you are more than welcome
@@Lord_Taron_TexasThat’s sad
The boyfriend is what really scared the sht out of me. But I think the demon is like the female protagonist alter ego. She’s been bottling verbal abuse and intimidation from men so long, and she finally let her rage (the demon) escape. Great short film.
He really is evil. Thankfully the actor was the sweetest human ever haha
Superb! The acting was top notch. Loved the two young actresses. Her bf was such a narcissistic jerk. Well he’s about to find out how to treat a lady like a lady, and not some side piece!
Great work!! Well done to all!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Exactly!! That guy really was a creep but the actor who played him was the sweetest human ever. I’ll definitely pass along the compliment to the actors! 🙏🏼💕
Most of all he was a SUBHUMAN in the end
Girls gotta support girls! ✨💚✨
We really do!!
👍
Yeah, and boys gotta support boys ✨💚✨
They left it alone in the van to get some burgers.... Better call Sam and Dean Winchester
You know, that’s fair ha
*Keys* are the key to this short
I feel this deeply haha
It's been a treat to see your filmmaking progress @chelsealupkin - the whole S/W team is proud of you!
Oh my gosh! Thank you fam!!! 😭🥹💕
I enjoyed it. Wish it was a tad longer.. thumbs up. I watched late at nite. Made me hungry that i looked up the red rooster.. good job writer
Fried chicken is a great midnight snack haha
You guys were pretty good at showing narcissistic traits 👍🏻
Thank you! I feel like we all know a Heston - her boyfriend really sucked
@@ChelseaLupkin Oh yes, we definitely do. Saw it from both genders a few times. It's crazy.
So where all the blood and bodies went? Vanished into thin air? 🤔
She took them 😈🍽️
Magnificent film, interesting message, and delicious gore 😊 thank you guys so much!!! Any plans for a part 2?
Hey @aoifedeborha2420! Thank you so much! While this marks the end for Scooter, Chelsea and I are gearing up for pre-production on our first feature this summer!
If everyone digs this, we might consider a part 2!
Ooh, can’t wait!!! You guys are a really creative group, it’s brilliant to watch your imagination create things like this (((:
I was kinda feeling low. This made me happy for the girl.
I’m so happy to hear that!
@@ChelseaLupkin 😁
Superbly done. Very engrossing.
I'm so glad you thought so!
Thank you @davidprodigy5833!
I thoroughly enjoyed this. It's bordering on 80s/90s...not to mention the creep is about to get his & I'm definitely here for it! Awesome job guys!
1 Rule I live by and I recommend you also live by is never trust anybody named "Scooter" I know that has nothing to do with this movie I'm just saying anybody named scooter should never be trusted lol
The demon is a girl’s girl ❤
Oh absolutely she is! haha
women have always been nasty to me, laughing abt how I look and more.
Im in insecure woman thanks to women
😮 👍🏽🤗🥳 so good!!! Ty 2 all involved in making this short🍾🥂
Thank you for watching! 😊
@@ChelseaLupkin ur welcome!! 🥳
Great job didn’t see the twist coming
😈😈😈
That was great! I love that the demon hitched a ride with the boyfriend, he's in for a surprise!
Oh he is such a goner haha 😈💀
Great film..would love to see more of your work😊😊😊😊
I loved this so much!! The only thing I wanna know if that jerk gets the same treatment as the van dudes
He inevitably does! She couldn't let him get away with it!
@@ChelseaLupkin YES THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING
@@Snail_man707 hahaha no problem! He had to GO!
C'mon, it couldn't be more obvious
It's all up to your imagination...
Well done! Short and sweet, and all the little ducks in a row.
Thank you!! We love the ducks! 🦆🛴🛴
This was very hard for me to begin watching. I find every aspect of scooters terrifying. My reoccurring nightmare comes in a small wheel-base, low CC format, which I am forced to ride for eternity, delivering sub standard food and employing an even lesser standard of riding, annoying all and sundry.
HA! But is the scooter at least somewhat fun to ride?
@@ChelseaLupkin
I think you misunderstand me. The scooter in the film is indeed innately cool/fun. I could/would ride one at the drop of a hat, whilst still managing to maintain the threatening folk iconography of my biker image - and multiple levels of irony.
It is the petrol engined moped type scooters (discounting vintage Lambrettas, Vespas and Honda Cubs) that make me shudder.
@@zacetto haha that's fair!!!
It’s okay. But what was stopping the demon when she was in the van? The main character only unlocked the door, so did the lock have holy water on it? The dialogue between the main character and her bf was a bit too cheesy.
I am in no way, a director, but I think this was very well shot. It just wasn’t well written.
..fabulous..!! Story, dialogue, actors, camera work..fabulous..!! 🤌💪🥰
Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
That was awesome! How about a Scooter 2?
I did consider writing a demon origin story. We'll see 😈
God the boyfriend triggered me so hard at the start. Then even worse when he shows up after shit went down lol. Did a good job with his role.
I'll pass along the compliment! He was great! - The actor is very sweet in real life haha
@@ChelseaLupkin oh yea he did great haha. He does look like a nice guy as well and I think it made his role even better lol.
Of course he's a tool. He drives a Chrysler LeBaron.
Hahahaha
Fabulous! Thank you!!!
thanks for watching!
This is amazing! So proud of you Chels!
Thank you so so much!! Xoxo! From one fellow filmmaker to another 🥹💕
Oh wow, I recognize the female lead from older short films from Brandon Calvillo. She's fantastic!
She is!! We met a week before our shoot! Somehow I didn’t have a lead actress until the last moment haha
intense!
Thank you @kevincousen3045!
Thought she was about to get abducted when she went behind their van. Nice twist.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
This is excellent. Awesome actress and actor too
Thank you! @magnetdesignandadver
thank you!!
Awesome one! But it is actually quite sad. Like a reflection of what abused people sometimes turn into.
I love this . Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Love your short films
Absolutely loved this frame 7:57
That stunt was crazy to watch take after take!
Funny enough, this was one of those blissful onsite creative decisions made in the midst of production, where we pulled in my partner to be an extra!
7:57 Man was like 🤫🧏🤝😚
None of this made sense, shes verbally abused, some monster? Witch? That we never see...the ending? Was there a director? Made ne sense at all.
This is the best one ive seen on here in awhile. Great work
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much!! It’s very scary to put work out there
@@ChelseaLupkin I bet it is. I really enjoyed this one, and I'd definitely love to see more from you in the future
That was F#$king awesome. Great job to all involved 😀
Thank you @johnmarchetti3815!
Thank you! Really had a lot of fun making it!
where was the scooter?
The demon took it lol
Those first three opening minutes were so triggering to me 😢
I’m sorry! He gets what he deserves in the end!! :hug:
I wonder if this is the beginning of a new relationship.
I think I'm going to have to write more! So yes!
Dope 🔥
👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 Nailed it!
this was a great short film loved it
TYSM!
Here for Chelsea ❤
💕💕
this is giving me crazy car vibes. demons lookin out for the ladies! 😍
She is!! She’s a girl’s girl 😈💅
omg I liked that, awesome film, thank you!!
Thanks for watching!
This was great! 😊
Thanks for giving it a watch! ☺
@@ChelseaLupkin the boyfriend sounded so much like my ex,unfortunately I haven’t been able to locate a demon to get rid of him!😁😂
@@Sarika38 hahaha
The Smiling man part 2 plss
FANTASTIC SHORT ❤❤ GREAT JOB 👍 😊
Thank you so much! It was a fun one to make!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it :) It was a group effort!
I really enjoyed- great work! ❤
Thank you so much!!
This movie really gave me goose bumps ... but just wanna know why was that jerk spared ♥️
You didn't watch the ending??....The jerk was being followed by the demon
Was he? The demon was waiting for him in the back of his car at the end 😈 But in all seriousness, Adrienne needed to be the one to stick it to him. I think being free of him was worth more than his death.
@@suryapaul4331 I’ll watch it again lol
@@ChelseaLupkin that is so true!!!
@@Divineedits63
I really like it! And yeah, demon girl >>>> regular dude
💯💯
Got to be honest, Lucy's Tale was outstanding, this ... not so much.
Fantastic! Great work all around.
TYSM!
Okay....
So first of all, why the movie is named "Scooter"!!
And the demon is supposed to be the good guy, okay.
And that is not an efficient way to take a demon on a city tour.
And in the end, who is the worse guy?
Who is mean to his girlfriend or the one who just got few people killed!!
I think the real villain is the boyfriend. Haha
Definitely the boyfriend in this case
Thanks for your efforts 😊
Thank you for watching!
Fine as hell
Loved it
Thank you for watching!
Still horror short ALTER Film ❤
🖤👍
🖤🙏🏼
Great!!!
Hyper hyper..😂
A heart❤ from India 🇮🇳
That was awesome
Girl whyyyy would you put up with that
I feel like so many women don’t know they are dating creeps! If only we all had a demon to take care of them. Le sigh haha
Brilliant 🎉
🙏🏼🙏🏼!!
👏 BRAVO 🎉🎉 🙌 great performance 🎭
So glad you enjoyed it!
Another film request…….. love your work….@@ChelseaLupkin
Nice Hat….👒 I’ll look for Lucy’s Tale’ today….. 👌 @@ChelseaLupkin
Excellent 💛
Thank you so much for watching!
ONE OF THE BEST ALTER SHORT FILM !!!!!!!OH MY GOD ......WONDERFUL THANKS ALTER- ITALY LOVES YOU :-)
Thank you @gioac4109!
Oh my goodness thank you so much!
How do you get the money to fund these short films? Does the ad revenue from these videos bring enough money?
This one was a group finance. Three folks chipped in but we were still pretty tight on funds
I thought this was a Dhar Man video at first
Great 👍 10 out of 10
TYSM! I’m really happy to hear it!
ese es el demonio que necesito
Nice. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
The demon is a baddie tbh
She is!! 🙌😈
6:18 That actor sounds Swedish 🤔
From a girl's point of view the vast majority of guys can be strange/weird but her boyfriend had a split personality. First off he callously drove off and just left her out there in the middle of the night, and later he comes to her and is complaining he was looking for her everywhere - like not the same guy. I also thought the "scooter" was going to play a bigger part - like the "main" part of something - because the movie was named after it. But instead it played the smallest part (Lmao) 😀😆
Apart from that, my own partner is even far more weird and split-personality than that guy - so much so that he could stand him in a corner. 😰😂
You should maybe get away from that guy….Best wishes.
@@AS-rr9km
Thanks - Yeah I know, but it's very complicated. 😰😧
How dare the request a late night snack! 😂 what a POS bf
💯💯💯
Oh man... I wanted to see what the demon looked like 🫤🤔🫣
-Adam
One word: MASTERPIECE!
Oh my goodness thank you!!
