This reminds me of the Dark Mirror episodes and others about uploading our consciousness into a place called the cloud as a way of preserving our existence after the bodily death. That is assuming one does not believe in an afterlife but instead creates one. It is a fascinating question that if your conscious thoughts could be uploaded into a matrix sort of cloud for all of time would you do it or take your chances with a natural death and see if there is something after that

First, very well done. You should be proud of your efforts. I want to personally thank you for ending the film and not do like too many other film makers who take the cheap and unimaginable way by just fading away leaving the viewer hanging. You have shown you can put a complete story in under five minutes. You have the traits of a master film maker.

Some religious fanatics commit suicide fully believing they will experience an afterlife. Some science fanatics believe they can capture the true consciousness of a human being by means of electronics Then let a device drain them of life Interesting video. I suspect the guy is now fully dead with some program fully convinced it is the dead guy.

You did in 5 minutes, what some major Studios couldn't pull out in 2 hours with 10 to 20 times the budget. Speaking as a retiree with a disability you made me smile and cry watching this, well done very well done. Let the casting crew know they left me with a lump in my throat

Amazing how such a story can be compressed into 5 min, very nicely done.
Still trying to interpret that last scene though, where she's on the roof. Her cell phone gets a message, was that really Virgil telling how wonderful this other world is. ..

I really like this one. The ending brings up more questions than answers, which usually annoys me, but it works in this case. That text message she gets at the end; was that actually Virgil, or just part of a bigger scam to keep the whole scheme going

This is so similar to the world I came up many years ago. Earth full of husks, unconscious humans living only online, their bodies being looked after by the robots. An empty world, very few humans refusing to dive into this virtual reality.

Excellent premise, but also made me kinda angry. Sneaky way she did that) and I hope it was worth it with him being in a better) place. I can see something not being mentioned here and a greater story behind this good five minutes of video.

If person uploads his mind whatever to the cloud, it still will be the copy of him in the cloud, not himself. So it will be like journey from this world to another only from this copied person perspective. The one on Earth will die anyway.

This is how you start a short narrative. Too many short films are a waste of viewer time. There shouldn't be enough time for a story to meander in a short film. Get in, get going, get out.

I don't watch many short film or movie love stories. But this is really good. What we have is Romeo and Juliet in the future.

This was pretty darn good. It even has the makings of the beginning of a story. Her quest to find a way out and join him.
