- A drone operator encounters a UFO.
THE OCCUPANT is used with permission from Hugo Keijzer. Learn more at hugokeijzer.com.
Galkina is a drone operator sergeant on duty when she gets an alarm. As part of a secret military program hidden from the public, her work uses nuclear-powered drones to lure alien objects into orbit, and then immobilizes and captures them.
But when one such object is lured to earth and takes the bait -- and Galkina loses her connection to her commanding officer -- she is forced to make decisions quickly, and questions just what is real and what is not.
Director Hugo Keijzer, along with writer Phil M. Howe and producer Maurice Schutte, have created a superbly crafted, dynamic and suspenseful sci-fi thriller whose storytelling grabs viewers from the first moment and holds their attention with expertly calibrated suspense and drama.
Though there are references to "alien objects," the short doesn't lean on any VFX work or explore deep philosophical territory, like many sci-fi films. It's really a propulsive piece of cinema, combining muscular camerawork, an effective score and precise performances to put us in the moment of Galkina's crisis, navigating her dilemma right alongside her.
Essentially the story is one suspenseful sequence, but it centers around one split-second decision that must be made in the most perilous of circumstances. The writing gives us just enough information to understand what Galkina is facing, but like her, we're only privy to what we've been told. When she loses her connection to her commanding officer -- and another voice enters the fray, one that contradicts her understanding and training -- she must decide quickly what to do, and essentially whether or not she can trust what she is seeing. Her decision treads the line between safety and possible catastrosphe, but it's not an easy one to make.
The ending moments of THE OCCUPANT give rise to a mystery and concern that clearly is designed to intrigue viewers and pique their ongoing interest. The title, of course, gives away that this is the opening salvo of a much larger story, and the ambition and scale of the production clearly are feature-level, beginning with the opening wide-view shots of a foggy, mysterious landscape. But as a self-contained piece, it also does its job well: it portrays one narrative dilemma with panache. But solving one problem opens up a whole other realm -- and draws viewers expertly into a whole world of danger and intrigue that they will likely want more of.
The fact that they speak russian makes this so much more enjoyable and i dont know why
Because you love the sound of marbles in mouths and a language created by a dyslexic?
@@pakde8002 Yeah you can say that all you want but we need to read subtitles for every major hollywood blockbuster it sucks balls

@@vladdracul5072 I do a bit and you probably know one or two words in spanish that doeant mean you can just put on a film of theirs and understand the plot
it wouldnt work if they were say american because there wouldnt be any tension about violating the order

One of them spoke russian with very thick western accent, what is kind of the opposite thing.. heh :) great short nevertheless!

@@FlymanMS that last one, who informed about the helicopter
Anton Yelchin was given crap for his Russian accent in Star Trek, even though he was a native speaker of Russian.
@@scotthedrick5736 yeah it's because his family moved to the US when he was a child (6 months?) so he barely sounded like a native speaker at all

Honestly, this script is way too good for a short movie. It deserves a full length movie.
Hey Harshit
How are you keeping,
Where are you from??
@@johnsonlabarbear4741 seems like India for sure
The sad thing about these short films is that they aren't full-blown movies
If we didn't have the small movies... they might never make the big movies. Same with small train sets... gave us the big passenger trains.
There's good news still: This prologue short film is basically a testing-the-water phase for a feature film called "The Occupant", being produced by HAA! Films, which is currently in post-production phase. The main character will be Danny, the female character on the radio at the end of the prologue short film.
Yeah, at least short movies like 30 minutes... that would be AWESOME...
Awwww man!!! You mean there isn’t a full length movie?!? Chit!!!
The occupant
We need a full movie
Can you please explain the ending to me?
Working on it ❤️
@@HugoKeijzer love yuh our films!
No we don't, we never need full movies of short films. What's the point to stretch this story out to 90 minutes and add unnecessary scenes and cgi aliens?
@@asobibuddy8481 yeah but it'll be fun to know what happens next
Can't believe no one mentioned Stanislav Petrov, because this movie is partly based on his actions during the Cold War.
He was bad right? I haven't gotten to the Cold War yet so im not familiar.
i knew i felt like i've heard of this type of thing happening before.
@@jonesey013 Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov was a lieutenant colonel of the Soviet Air Defense Forces, his radar system picked up 3-5 nuclear launces, but he decided not to retaliate, and inadvertently saved the whole world from nuclear war.
There was a 2nd incident that happened like that during the cuban missile crisis, where normally it takes 2 guys (the CO and XO) to launch to nuclear torpedos, but because there was a 3rd high ranking guy on there (forgot his name and rank) he went againts the two of them, so they could not launch the nuclear torpedo. There is way more to that story but thats just a TLDR of it, go look it up, deff worth a listen too.
(mind you, this is all off the top of my head so i could be a bit off, but that is the jist of it.
@@commissargarudaslivestream5177 the 3rd high ranking officer was actually iirc the nuclear armament officer, the guy who commanded either to launch or not to launch all the nuclear armaments
@@commissargarudaslivestream5177 The 3rd high ranking guy was Vasily Arkhipov
Great! As Russian I liked the fact that Russian actor played roles, and the author didn't show us with vodka, balalaika and ushanka. Спасибо большое за фильм! Очень понравился!
Но акцент слышно всё равно) слабо, это не "Кокие ваши доказательства", но всё равно слышно. Плюс, обращение по большей части неуставное, все эти подбадривания и др. И ситуация по факту притянута за уши. Если идут помехи со связью, то солдат будет действовать по инструкции. С рацией вообще странно. Потому что военные не вчера научились садиться на чужую частоту. Служака бы быстро понял, что что-то не так, потому что командир внезапно начинает нести какой-то бред. И вообще, почему тогда этот НЛО, если он может копировать человеческий голос и садиться на чужую радиочастоту, не может просто взять БПЛА под контроль? Это военные и сейчас делают, с современной электроникой. Он по-хорошему должен был отключить электронику на базе и засадить туда аппарат. Хотя, опять же, нахрена, если он с каким-то там ядерным зарядом, явно малой мощности? Да, будет радиационное заражение. Да, будут помехи на базе. Но, пардон, это что-ьо поменяет?
@aliscander92 do Russian soldiers still call each other 'Tovarish' / 'Tobarish'? How accurate is this video?
@@haryobaskoro5443 Yes they do. I'm also a soldier of Russian Army in the past. It's tradition that we brought from Soviet Army. It's quite accurate, but one thing is forgotten by the author: Russian officer always shaves)

As a military officer in Canada, who has some dealings with drone operations. I found this video very true to form, additionally I love how this kept me on the edge of my seat. When can you say that, I look forward to the next instalment.
Please explain story to me. Im not sure I got it. Who was giving the order to attack base and what was the helicópter dong in that area? Thx
@@ufosrus not sure about the helicopter but it was the alien who gave the order. It imitates what appears to be everything within the memory of drone operator. Hence all the details and insistence. Doesn't feel professional, instead, personal.
@@ufosrus a random helicopter was just passing from there and aliens somehow crashed it, then at the end they contacted the pilot of the helicopter as they are rescue team but it's probably gonna end bad. And the drone pilot, she was also getting instructions from aliens which we all thought is his commander, as u have seen his commander was also confused that who was giving the orders and she did the right thing by not crashing the drone.

@@phamvietlong5409 so is it done?
@@MM-zw8sm im wondering the same. I can't find any updates on it.
Is it done?
One of my all-time favorite omelette films. There's no jump-scares, but I love the creepy overtone. Also the people who wrote and produced this short film, I can tell care a lot about the details. It's brilliant.
Name movie ?
I've came to realize that short movies like this actually is higher quality and have real russian actors. Mean while in Hollywood movies they can't even bother to hire real russian actors to play, with horrible russian accent that native speaker can't even understand.
I’m Russian, and sorry but nope that one “ Russian” sounded very western to me. I take your not russian? This was garage!
Дмитрий Лебедев I don’t know Russian at all, but I do like how it sounds.
Also I just want to know, what exactly gives the Western accent away ? To my ear, the girl was speaking in a “softer” way than when I usually hear Russian... like in Metro games per exemple.
@Archnid 001 I ain't going back on that game. No way.
@@erichkaufmann5284 Hey I was just wondering what makes it sound western, I'm American and do not speak Russian but I was just wondering what was the giveaway! To me they all sounded Russian
@@PlexHvH i believe the reason is some phrases sounds like literally translated and sometimes have unnatural order and weird combinations of words. So it seems like russian actors reading text written by not russian author
I need an explanation! Ok, so she tries to lure a UFO (probably aliens) with a nuclear drone into the radius of an EMP blast in order to knock it down. However, the UFO takes control over the comms, acts as her commanding officer and tells her to fly to the military base and to not turn on the EMP. She follows her orders not knowing she is talking to an immitation of her CO. She is then told to "crash?" into the base (so everything there goes nuclear), but at the last second she decides to not follow the order, tries to fly away but loses control (she also spots another flying object on her radar). Everything goes black, the drone crashed into the woods (but did not explode), suddenly the real CO breakes into the bunker and tells her everything is ok but that the voice she was talking to was not him.... Ok so until that point I kinda understand but what happens after just confuses me. What was the last thing the saw on the radar? Was it the civilian helicopter? If it was then why did it speak english and who's voice was it at the end? Why did everthing go black when she lost control of the drone? Did the EMP go off? Did the UFO crash? Was that it's plan? why? Could it be that the REAL CO told her to crash in order to stop the alien from taking over the world?
This comment needs to be on top
Not too sure about why everything went black (very curious) but I don't think the EMP ever went off b/c we never heard the order nor see her press the button she was ready to press earlier. Then the officer tells his superior (not sure ranks/rank names) there was a civilian helicopter that took off + crashed and later confirmed that there were no survivors. The voice we hear is meant to be one of the occupants of the helicopter broadcasting on (I assume) all channels, saying that she survived that crash and needed help. (Ofcourse we know by that point that it's the alians luring people in) and the last thing we hear is that someone answered her /it's call. Please make a movie
Ok so I think I figured it out. The original UFO crashed and the commander at the end says "it was always one step ahead" and implies the aliens were up to something.
I interpret this to mean this UFO was meant to counter lour the humans for nefarious reasons. At the end, that is the intentionally crashed UFO speaking to the helicopter pilot that wandered into the area, and the UFO or aliens are up to no good.
@@Super_Jayhawk but didn't the girl say she crashed? If so, then doesn't that imply that she was the pilot (alien) sendjng out the signal pretending to be the woman that died?
@@SamOverMars yeah that part is confusing but I think the alien crashed the unauthorized helicopter. Not sure. For being so well made it really isn't clear.

I actually was in Syktyvkar few times because lived Komi region for 20 years, and nature in film is very similar to original. I'm impressed with quality of details and clear Russian language of actors. Please continue the series.

@@Cyber_Kriss and that is not even the hardest geographic name here ;)
Без акцента только девка и парень. Остальные с пиздец акцентом. Что ты несёшь то?! Какое ещё качество? Или ты поддельный русский для набива хвалебных коментов?
So is everyone just ignoring the fact that the ending was incomprehensible?
@Vilius Grigolius Right, I get that. But what was all that nonsense about the civilian aircraft?
I think the aliens were talking to each other, and trying to lure the drone to their crash.
I think the first person was the human that actually was looking for help. The second voice was the "helpful" alien, that then killed the human, hence the explosion. But it could be the other way around.
I, too, think it was quite hard to understand, but am wondering if they didn't really crash the UFO, but rather crashed that helicopter by mistake. Then, the alien UFO was approaching the survivor of the helicopter and talking to her in the same way it had talked to the first woman. I wonder if this story is really just a scene from a much larger story or potential movie.
@Vilius Grigolius The beginning said it was secret military coalition so maybe that meant a coalition of many countries. So, maybe British were stationed there as well. She sounded British to me. I don't know though.
Maybe the voice telling her to crash was the real Major. The aliens came into the base and took the form of her officer. The alien is now in the base. The real Major, tried to get her to bomb the base with the drone to kill the aliens who had landed there. Why would the alien craft crash if she didn't activate the EMP? Her Major saw what was happening. It was too late to do the EMP. He decided to crash the drone into the base to kill the aliens. The helicopter crash was a coincidence and in the end when you hear the base reply to Danny in the helicopter, it is the aliens who have now taken over the base. Their reply to the helicopter sets the scene for a follow-up movie. - Just a thought.
I think that might be the point you can see even after the blackout she seems somewhat skeptical I always love films that make you question reality
Nope, because then he would've told her that they're inside the base if his intention was to kill the ayylmaos and not that they've 'evacuated' it.
this is the most likely explanation but there is 0 evidence to support it. Feels like there was a lot cut out of this short, it just seems really incomplete and trying to be too mysterious.
The voice telling her to crash was undoubtedly the alien. Russian speakers elsewhere in these comments have noted that the choice of words the alien uses in particular, beyond breaking from professional vocabulary, is particularly personal and emotional, in a way that her superior would not speak even in such an emergency. Plus, the voice brings up her family right after she glances at the photo of them (which was, before this point, not important and not shown), heavily hinting at some supernatural element to the voice.
In any case we can probably take the conclusion of this film at face value because the feature film focuses on Danny and not the Russians
Nonetheless the fact that we can speculate such just goes to show how great this short is
@@LouSaydus the short is meant to introduce a larger feature film they are trying to get funding for, so that's why the short feels incomplete and ambiguous
How intriguing, I wanted to see the alien aircraft and the aliens. Make this a two hour movie.👽👍
Yes, if only we could have seen anything interesting. Anything interesting at all. That would have been interesting!
Fortunately we got a lot of ominous music instead. The music was very ominous, so you knew that the situation was tense. The music was ominous. Very exciting. A strong substitute for plot.

This was the first Omeleto short film I watched. This is an underrated channel.
Check out the gunfighter its a hoot!
Who underrates it?
@@KutWrite In almost any field, sports, music, art, etc.. the word underrated has been thrown a lot, at least that's what I see here on youtube. And most comments that states "this xxxxxx is underrated" somehow get many likes. I don't know if there's any connection.
For example in football, one guy typed Thierry Henry is underrated, like wtf... Or a once famous TV show (its final season was more than a decade ago) that won multiple Emmy is also called underrated.
You're in for a treat. You're going to have fun for months watching all of these.
I did some digging, and found several Variety articles discussing the awards this short or longer version is up for. I think that the helicopter portion of this short got added is a preview for something else. The articles say that "The Occupant" is a story of a female geologist who's helicopter crashes in the wild and discovers she is not alone. No mention of this short. Google the writers name and you can read the articles for yourself. This was a fantastic little gem and would like to see more of it without meddling by any big studios. The will only screw up this wonderful piece .
How do I find the full version???
Ohhhh wow it makes so much more sense now. This short was written backwards. They started with the ending already set in stone - a helicopter crash in proximity of aliens (the setup for the longer feature you mentioned) - then tried to explain how that could have happened. But they wrote themselves into a corner, because presumably the military doesn't show up immediately at the start of the longer feature. So the characters in this short CAN'T actually make the final plot connection. Hence their inexplicable confusion about the helicopter and vague mention of the aliens being "two steps ahead".
please post a link
They have a kickstarter page for their movie, and they explained that they made the short movie as a way to introduce and pitch the full movie concept (as described on IMDb) to investors. It does look really good
As a native russian speaker, this was so much more interesting lmao
Ye same here мне тоже было интересно
mutation because electrostaion
more interesting ... than what? just curious. not flaming anyone.
@@yokehuatgoh Subtitles are not so complex as the speech. You're seeing "EMP started" when she says "i am starting to execute the EMP protocol" or "Sir" when she says "comrade Major". She approves whom she is talking to every time, instead of just saying "sir", as it's always done in russian army. Maybe the style of subtitles is closer to european minds, but surely is not so atmospheric as the speech
@@MrLobsterity This is so strange for any russian military equipment to see strings like "check on" there should be "проверка" and so on.
This gives me chills, getting hijacked and called a traitor is just bruh.
I know this was a short film but damn, i would have loved to see a continuation
This was twisted. I suspected but I wasn't sure. Ooo, this is bad.
I won't lie, it went over my head.
"Oh Jeez!"
@e causey But I don't think they are going that speed all the time.
I’m not sure I understand this 100% but the sound effects, music, dialog and her acting kept me glued to my phone. Well done!
I have zero clue what happened in the film. Do you?
When a superior officer gives an absurd order you disobey. Your superior has bern compromised. Your communication channel has been compromised or you are hallucinating.
Maya is native Russian but she speaks with a slight accent or certain awkwardness like my daughter who grew up outside Russia. It doesn’t matter, though. Great episode!
Yeah noticed that too, indeed
Hah... I was about to say she had no accent whatsoever, but, I lived out of Russia for many years... I guess I can't hear (her) light accent any more. Wow.
My nephew does the same with our native language, some times is very funny.
Reminds me of the Outer limits episode where the last remaining nuclear bunker during an alien invasion was been operated by a soldier with video and audio links to other missile sites. Every link began to be disconnected over the course of the episode and this is when the soldier began to grow more and more paranoid. The last remaining audio link was with his general in white house where he told the soldier that the aliens had been defeated and to deactivate the site and let the army inside. he had to make a decision, either let off all the bombs and destroy the aliens and give humanity a tiny chance or open the silo up to what could be aliens impersonating humans.
That must have really been science fiction, trying to destroy aliens (and everything else) who have mastered interstellar travel with something as primitive and crude as nuclear weapons.
@@vladdracul5072 What if the Aliens never had the idea to create weapons that would be able to wipe a civilization of a planet?
@@maxpowerdup Well, in this case they knew what the drone could be used for and they tried to make the sergeant blow up the headquarters with it, so I guess they are no stranger to weapons of mass destruction. In this case that is, otherwise it could very well be possible that they themselves are a peaceful species and never before encountered a hostile species like us...
It would actually be interesting to watch a movie about a visiting, technologically advanced alien species, which at the same time is peaceful and thus defenceless. What would mankind do?
@@vladdracul5072 Nukes might not kill them, but it sure as hell would make the impacted area a lot more unusable unless they like radioactive stuff.
As for visiting aliens... sad to say, humans would probably try to kill some of them to get their technology. But if instead they've been shown that their technology can be used to kill lots of humans, then some nations will demand they get ahold of them, either because they're afraid of it and want it, or because they want it to defeat other nations.
But sufficient to say, if there's visiting aliens of some sort ,then there'll always be someone trying to get their tech.
@@vladdracul5072 You are correct in this one. I thought more of aliens in general.

This is what it looks like when someone encounters a demonic force
So the UFO imitated human voice to confuse the drone operator?
Thats frighting.
It's a bit silly that they communicate over radio vs an alien invader that has crossed the universe to get here. I loved it still. It could be encrypted of course, but our encryption could be like a zip-file to them.

Great job. Hollywood is so disrespectful to the UFO phenomenon. this was very close to reported stories.
"Disrespectful" :D
Us former drone operators WISH we had a setup as nice as hers lmao. Also... you're never alone in a complex when doing that kind of work.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing, you operate in pairs :) Also, what's up with the girl calling her CO "comrade"? Judging by the flag on her arm, this is post-USSR, makes no sense. Still, nice production values.
@@AyoxinBlake FYI. Forms of address in Russian military did not change since soviet era. They still use "comrade" when addressing a higher rank.

I LOVE the aesthetic. Its pure classic Alien! Hope Disney sees this and lets you direct something!

That`s not too bad. I have been studying Russian for 7 years now( about 10 000 hours) and I still couldn`t understand everything. But it`s true I wasn`t studying it seriously for a long time, so you`ll probably do better.
@@Luka-mu7ei I'm from Russia. But also did not understand everything. Not a very good sound engineer.
This is excellent. I have been studying Russian every day since birth for 50 years, but I also did not understand all the words. :)
You won't understand without a glass of Russian vodka!))
@@Luka-mu7ei Welcome to Russia, to practice!)))
I want a full length film about this in Russian, not dubbed in English. Reading subs doesn't bother me.
when a short is better than an entire movie
what if we're meant to think the person who returns the distress call is the alien, but 'Danny' is actually the alien
Possible. We might find out when the movie comes out.
Most of these are more original than most Hollywood movies.
I hate the overuse of black screens. Even with audio, I still need to see what is happening.
I become addicted to these short films . Stories and quality and actors are better then most Netflix specials.
I believe UFO's have some advance technology that they know where to pick to get the lowest graphic on camera
You guys are absolutely brilliant. You need to create full-length films. Amazing job!
This short film I already saw 30 times "excellent", someone in the film Industry invite this young girl an offer a role in a long movie. She is so natural!
Found this video pop up on my feed and I was like is that Aliona and it is
No idea what was going on here, especially at the end.
😱👽 the aliens😹
The good old switcheroo.
Russian sounds great in any form of media.
This was a very well made short movie.
this feels like a trailer to a movie. and i need to watch this movie.
This is the best one yet. i wish it was a full movie.
i fly a drone so it was very interesting to me.
Well I couldn't make any sense of that.
They thought they were luring aliens, but in fact aliens who could even read their thoughts and mimic human language were luring their drone and established contact with sergeant Galkina under the guise of her commander and tried to direct the drone to human base, but at the last moment "real" humans "helped" Galkina to understand that she was being fooled. Still humans downed a civil aircraft in an attempt to destroy a UFO. The last two voices are: English-speaking woman - survivor of a helicopter crash, English-speaking man - an alien, mimicing now English language, "happy" to locate the survivor by her SOS-message and destroying the rest of the helicopter debris where she is in a final scene, probably to kill the unnecessary witness. A lit bit oversophisticated and obviously unrealistic plot, but that's it.
@@s-dyorindyorin-s149 Ummm... okay, if you say so.
That was intense and absolutely one of the best short films ever. Enjoyed that so much!!👍
Aliens messing with your mind.
The statement in the beginning is closer to the truth than people would like to believe!
"Realistic" science fiction movies are very rare, and this is quite close to it. The only thing I would criticise is that there would not be a single operator sitting isolated in the woods.
Ms. Baranova, a DAMNED FINE PERFORMANCE. Great Short and a great Story Line.
She was killed or captured and she is the alien after all. She was replaced when she lost contact and everything glitched out.
Wow, it's f*cking nice fic!
The set design is so good
why does every single alien spaceship fuckup the internet in movies or shows or short films. like aliens stop messing with our damn wi-fi lol
スカーフくりおScarf Kurio Mationz Its Electro Magnetic Pulse
Starring Elena Baranova . She was born in London to a Russian-speaking family .
Just when you think you got the snake...the snake got you ;)
The alien trolled her and almost caused her to get kicked for friendly fire
I’ve watched enough movies that I knew it wasn’t a human they were talking to
Plot twist :
The Officer she was talking to before the blackout was actually her real officer and wanted her to crush the nuclear drone into the base that had been already captured by aliens, and the guy she sees after she wakes is an alien who transformed into her superior.
thats what i thought at first
Alternatively, it could be there future selves that are the “aliens”
Yes.
This could be a possibility too
Enjoyable. Particularly liked the fact that in order to arm the EMP she had to to grab a keyboard and type 50 lines of code into the command line 😛
Omeleto have so many great short films. Have you considered mixing some of these stories into a feature length?
So well thought out on so many levels excellent work.
Aliens can't come to Russia. Put in wouldn't let them in 😂
Russia has no law that allows soldiers to ignore unlawful orders. I would like to see the rest of this movie play out in their equivalent of a military court debating whether or not she should be punished for insubordination. She chose to ignore what she believed to be her commanding officer, but is that a criminal offense if the commanding officer was impersonated?
This is like something straight out of r/nosleep
This could be a feature-length with this as the opening scenes
Terrifying. But terrifyingly good. 😂😂😂
Yeah babe I'll get you new blades
Can someone explain to me, what the helicopter had to do with all of this? All I can think of right now is that the helicopter crashed and the ailiens contacted it or that the helicopter was crashed by the ailiens but what does that have to do with the base?
Perhaps since the aliens failed to recruit the drone operator, they moved on to the next available target, a civilian helicopter pilot.
I think it was implied that the person that took the helicopter was also an alien that had been captured and the alien that was interacting with Maya was trying to find them.
the person in the helicopter (Danny) is to be the main character of the feature film these guys are trying to get made
This was so gripping, I didn't even notice the score until I replayed the film to listen for it. I'm looking forward very much to the continuation.
A fantastic piece of work.
Score? Is there some kind of scoring in short films that I am not aware of?? Just started watching these few days ago.... Thanks
