- Tears In The Rain, the award-winning South African sci-fi short by filmmaker Christopher Grant Harvey, is an unabashed love letter to the 1982 motion picture Blade Runner and Philip K. Dick's novel "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep"?
Set in Los Angeles in the latter part of the twenty-first century, the short stars Sean Cameron Michael as John Kampff, a mysterious law enforcement official who is tracking down a man named Andy Smith (Russel Savadier), who is suspected of being a replicant: an artificial being almost indistinguishable from humans.
With its haunting, 80s-inspired synthesized score, futuristic Los Angeles cityscape with flying cars, looming ultra-skyscrapers, and neon-haloed, grime-covered streets, Tears In The Rain convincingly duplicates the dark dystopian aesthetic of Blade Runner.

Very nicely done. I didn't think of it as a peice of fan film while watching. I was absorbed. Well written, well directed. Acting was top notch...especially the replicant. Great work and thanks for sharing.
plot twist- they're both replicants
Thrilled to see the South African addition - and prize-winning - addition to the Blade Runner story.
The synthesizer music is spot on! Vangelis would be proud!
What not enough viewers understand is that this is the same Kampf whose name is lent to the Voight-Kampf machine... he’s the inventor.
Incredible piece of art, this.
Yup, that was the goal. Thanks!
Christopher Grant Harvey You’re welcome!
Then how can it be set in «the latter part of the 21 century» (ref: description) when the test was invented before 2019?
Oh we know...we know, lol
Incredible job! These 11 minutes alone are millions of times better than the vast majority of Hollywood films today. I'm sad I didn't discover this sooner.
You've done a man's job, Christopher Grant Harvey.
Jonathan thanks!
So after watching this a few times I think the ending is supposed to suggest the Blade Runner is himself a Replicant.
During the interview he goes through some of the Replicant's memories to prove that the Replicant's memories were implanted, and would thus make him a Nexus 3.
At the end, the Replicant starts describing a memory that the Blade Runner says he shouldn't have or wasn't programmed with, and by the end he looks pissed off. Then he looks kinda confused, like the Blade Runner's doubting himself after spending a whole interview describing why he doesn't like Replicants.
Perhaps the Blade Runner's handlers didn't provide him with a dossier because they knew there happened to be a few memories the Blade Runner was programmed with as well.
When the Replicant starts describing the memory, the Blade Runner is confused because it's not in the files but gets pissed off because he's realizing it's HIS memories. That's why he looks so confused and full of self-doubt, because the Blade Runner realizes HE's a "clock that can tell lies."
Could be wrong, but still, I love this fan film. Great job guys, keep it up!
Yeah, I think he is a replicant. That's a neat plot twist there.
It is also suggested in BR 2049 that Blade Runners are replicants.
Excellent work! Rather than suggesting the Blade Runner might be a replicant as well, I think it might mean he is unsure whether he retired a human being by mistake. He could be the same Kampff who helped develop the Voight Kampff machine. The alleged replicant is apparently a Nexus 3, three generations older than Roy and Rachael, so it would fit the timeframe. Overall, beautifully done. Kudos.
This is correct - this was our goal.
As a massive fan of Bladerunner, I must say this was excellent, it captures the very essence and feel of the original film and wow that soundtrack is just awesome. Hope you can do more of these short films inspired by the world of Bladerunner - really hyped for Bladerunner 2049 now!
I was resistant at first. Then I was captured and I couldn't get free. What if. What if that's me? Good stuff, people. Good stuff. I've been a fan since I saw the original in the theaters during its original run. This is some of the best fan inspired work I've seen.
Gentleman Adventurer thank you for the kind words.
I was exactly like you, I "randomly" saw it, clicked without a thought, then after a few seconds stopped to fast forward. Clicked out, then 20 seconds later back in, a quick fast forward deeper, then from the start. It's duration is 11:11
*you might have seen it by now since its two years old as of this writing but the blade runner short Slice of life is also quite good as well* *czcams.com/video/uyn0cLCMKsM/video.html* *25 minutes long and shot mostly in someones garage...*
I can totally see this story happening in the Blade Runner universe. Excellent job!
One of the best shortfilms ive ever experienced! The shoots, the music, the acting, the sound effects. A crafted homage to the original.❤
This script was executed with perfect tone throughout. This is BR cannon and I will share this and make it known. It adds to the philosophical questions that we love to explore in the BR universe. Thank you thank you for this.
Thank you!
@@ChristopherGrantHarvey Most welcome!
Very well made indeed. I bunked off school for a week in '82 and watched it about 15 times. I still watch it every year. I was stoked this year when i chatted to Sean Young on her YT channel :)
You've done a man's job sir!
Best quote comment 🙌🙌
Clicked on this and then realised I'd seen it before, its cracking little short so I watched it again. Everything about it is very professional. Great Job.
Incredible. You should crowdfund a full length feature. Seriously consider it.
Wow, I got goosebumps all over. No joke, this is excellent! And the soundtrack is excellent as well! Thank you for sharing this with us Mr harvey!
Any time!
The mood, the music, the setting... Spot on! Wow!
I was going to dismiss this because I wasn’t ready to extend what is already a masterpiece movie, but you did a fantastic job on this. The dialogue and concept are excellent.
The opening music chills
Fantastic work, Chris! Very happy to have been part it this. 😊🎶🚀🎉💥
Hey, I loved your music. Reminiscent of Tangerine Dream, without copying.
Love those vintage synths and reverb!
Blade Runner 2049 will have a hard time being this atmospheric while being this deep at the same time. Great job there, also being true to the soundtrack, without copying it. Thank you!
THIS is what the sequel to Blade Runner SHOULD be like. Characters, dialogue, mystery. Not some "only you can save the whole world" BS about Replicants and humans breeding together with Grandpa Deckard stumbling around. Great job, please make more!
Everytime I watch this it has the same heart wrenching vibe perhaps as powerful as the original blade runner movie
Watched it again. Dying to have this creative team make another story!
I've been watching over this for a few weeks and I keep coming back to it. It is simply insanely good.
I've even included it in a spreadsheet I'm releasing to as part of the canon timeline, because it fits that well. Everything about this film makes it look official, which makes it being a fan creation all the more impressive.
Thank you 😀
Good piece, it hits you in the gut
Dear creators of the movie!
Scrip author(s), director, actors, music composers, camera men(s)
Thank you for making this wonderful, climatic short movie that feels true to the Blade Runner universe.
...I got goosebumps all overy my body after warching your movie!
Well done!
* * * * * for all of you!
PS The actors did really good job!
props to the main character his look and acting fit right into the feel of the original
Good job, it's interesting how you are made to sympathise with the replicant more than the Blade Runner.
This is absolutely one of the best fan attempts I've seen for Blade Runner! 10/10, loved the feel of this and the acting!!
You guys are good actors. You also are technically capable film makers. My grievance lies in how callous the corporate guy was. It made no sense to torment him in his final moments when apparently he was causing no harm and was a good janitor for four years. Perhaps another tale is needed to explain why the Tyrell Corp would send this guy out to shatter his world view moments before his death?
So proud to see fellow South African creatives producing such amazing material!
Fantastic dialog. A real mind bender. You really captured it. this needs to be a book or a series Absolutely love it. "Its too bad she wont live, but then again who does? ..
This is fantastic! I love when people take a stab at diving into the world of blade runner, this is top shelf stuff right here!
Thank you!
Looked at it again, this is brilliant, could be a passage from the book.
Thank you for this quite remarkable homage to one of the most pivotal science fiction legacies of all time.
Appreciated, thank you!
@@ChristopherGrantHarvey You're welcome.
Greetings from Ukraine! I like this movie, the dialogs and actors more original to Blade Runner 1982, than in BR 2017 movie, and its great! Thank you for all your work!
This is absolutely stunning.
Fantastic short film. Nice acting, script, direction, music and special effects. Greetings from a Blade Runner's fan. I hope that many other people enjoy it the way i've done.
Marvelous. Simply marvelous! And that music,WAW!!! Main titles is masterpiece! During them,I have tears in my eyes,honest.
Michal Slatina Thanks glad you enjoyed it! :)
I saw this for the first time. "EXCELLENT WELL DONE"
More Human than Human. Great film, great acting.
So well done!
Yep, a massively impressive fan film. Sir I salute you.
Can't stop watching.., years algo.....
This was awesome!!!!!
I don't think a fan made film could be made any better than this. Such a brilliantly made piece of work. So fucking boss. Brilliant
still holds up. better than the 2 live action shorts, imo.
What an underrated masterpiece of a short film - I will definitely share and recommend this!
Great work! :)
Hell, light years better than the official short 'Nexus Dawn'!
Great job!
Wow this was actually nice , same moods from the original and theme
I thought it was a joke at first. "Award winning Blade Runner fan film" (The thumbnail also looked quite bad). But I must say, this was extremely, extremely good. It was better than the short Dennise Villeneuve presented, "Nexus Dawn". If the production values were a little higher, this could've been part of the official Canon or something. It's quite stunning actually. The acting is awesome, the writing tight, the music is ear-candy and the framing smart. I would've given you constructive criticism, but I don't have any objections (maybe the thumbnail). For a fan film, this is masterful work. Great job!
"May I ask you a personal question?"
"Sure."
"Have you ever retired a human by mistake?"
I'm a harsh critic especially when it comes to anything Blade Runner and that was fantastic...the actors were extremely talented. Better than current Hollywood movies by far.
Amazingly done
Whether or not this is an actual Blade Runner short or just a fan film, I can’t deny that this movie was absolutely marvelous. The acting is very strong and powerful, the dialogue is very clever and makes the film even more gripping then it already was. Official film or fan film, this short film is still amazing!
Thanks for the support!
Beautifully done.
Loved this. Too short, want more!
"Just shut up!" with that angry tone. That says it all... Great love letter to the blade runner world! The acting was OUTSTANDING!
Man you took my heart...🖤
This was great, those 11 minutes of both of them trying to convince the other of their reality. It was amazing, truly amazing. And at the end he was unsure of what he did as if he made a mistake. Also the why make a clock that lies was great from the guy, it makes alot of sense why make a machine that lies. What's it lying too? I mean if it's' designed to be a machine then everyone should know and it shouldn't even have these memories. I think what truly comes down to is when in Jurrasic Park when Jeff Goldblum put that droplet of water on his hand twice and they both went different directions even though they where put on the same spot. He was explaining chaos theory and how little changes in complex systems can have unexpected results. And then this:
YEAH, BUT YOUR SCIENTISTS WERE SO PREOCCUPIED WITH WHETHER OR NOT THEY COULD THAT THEY DIDN’T STOP TO THINK IF THEY SHOULD
Should they have even made these replicants in the first place?
I really enjoyed this short...Outstanding actually from a moral perspective. What if our creations become sentient. Will be be judged by history by how we treat them...This is what I like about the BladeRunner storyline and our possible future,
WOW! i was like most Blade Runner fans i saw the picthat said fan made ( for 2 days) then finaly said wth. clicked on it, man i watcjed it 2x's . you my man have a talent! very well made. It makes me think of Rachel when she asked Dekerd "Have you every retired someone by mistake?" Very well made indeed. To use a quote from another movie " impresive, most impresive".
Beautifully done!
How have I not seen this.. this is amazing
love the light and dark visuals at the start. well done.
This is stunning work; great acting, direction and production values topped off with a brilliant homage to Vangelis' score.
I'd like to see a whole movie of this.
Great fan film
I've never seen acting, photography, music, casting and tone so accurate and good as the original film in any other fan-made work regardless of the franchise, truly outstanding job, unbelievable! This is a work of love, you can tell. Thanks for sharing it!
You REALLY nailed the look and feeling of the movie!
have you seen the movie?
Fantastic Short
This was brilliant. Everything about it was spot on. Ever thought about producing a web series?
Nicely done. Particularly like the sound design and how it evokes Blade Runner.
Garen Daly thanks for watching Garen. :)
This was amazing. The connections with the original Blade Runner are flawless and the cinematography was stunning. Great work!
OUTSTANDING!
Chinese noodles,the standard food of Blade Runner characters
Amazing Work of art!!!!
This is the true Blade Runner 2049 !!
unbelievably great!!! Having Blade Runner (1982) as the best movie ever, I have been watching "Blade Runneresque" videos these last days (2049 shorts and trailers) and yours is by far one of the best flix I´ve watched... you are great Christopher, and offering this on 4K here makes you even greater... THANX
One word: EXCELLENT.
finally, a fan film with good audio
Fantastic!!! I wish they had offered to included it as part of the 2049 shorts.
Me too! :)
Fantastic - So glad to have been a part of this!
Neon Vandal so glad to have met you and your talent!
Christopher Grant Harvey Thanks Chris - It was a real group effort - A lot of talent in that film!
Epic. Outstanding work!
Excellent in a word! Thank you
Really cool
This is fantastic. Well done!
👍👍👍👍👍 The lower the budget the better the story.
All around great work!
man, this so good...
Having re-watched the original recently I really enjoyed this! The look and music were spot on!
ASMR Destiny thank you for watching.
I'm guessing this is taking place before there were BR Units and they worked directly for Eldon Tyrell/Tyrell Corp with this gent being *John Kampff* and one of the designers of the *Voight-Kampff test*
He drops clear insider knowledge and gets frustrated when the "Rep" shows he has memories beyond what he was supposed to have and maybe being a human and possibly leading Kampff to wonder if he killed a human. This moment most likely lead him and Voight to develop the *VK test*
Really lovely work Christopher.
That was brilliant for a fan made short. It had that grimy "tech noir" feel from the original (and what was with the replicant having memories of his childhood that weren't implanted? Reminded me of Rachael's comment to Deck in the original... "Have you ever retired a human by mistake?"
Mr. Harvey, you are ready to make a feature film!
Excellent!
Beautiful Chris! Great sound, visuals, acting and direction! Kudos to Sean and Russel as well.
dani052566 took us long enough but we persisted.
Better late than never, I say. Worth the wait!!
