Sci-Fi Short Film: Sunshine Room - DUST
video description
I’m ChuKim, a comic researcher from Vietnam. I’m going to hold a workshop about comic in early November this year in Hochiminh city. I’m planning for the participants to make comic scripts and storyboards based on films. I see this short film of yours is excellent and I’m sure that my students can learn a lot from it. So, I would like to ask for your copyright. This event will be organized for academic purpose. So, please consider and I’m looking forward to have your permission. It’s going to be a great honor.
Best Regards,
ChuKim

Despite a great story-line I didn't really feel emotional, as I never knew my grand-mothers because my father's parents dying before he
married (his dad died when he was only 6yrs old, & my mother's parents (& 2 sisters) moved to another Australian capital city
before I was born. Also, along with not seeing them very often, my grandmother came down with Alzheimer's disease before I was 5yrs old. Only recently realised how those missing relationships have contributed to failings within my relationships with my parents, others, & my ex-wife.

I just think about how much the girl’s mother must have sacrificed to give her daughter that time with her grandma. I think sometimes as children we forget what our parents do for us, and it seems even more common now as technology advances and social media makes it seem as if everyone has better stuff than you do.

I wonder if something like this could potentially do more harm than good. The mother said that Abuela had been gone for 11 years. Death is a natural part of life, and moving on after the death of a loved one equally so. I think delaying that process, especially for years, could have unintended consequences.

The plot doesn't make business sense. You don't erase the account when you can't pay. You freeze it and when you can pay again, they charge a reactivation fee. This way the service gets more revenue and the customer doesn't permanently lose such precious data, just a temporary disruption.

Straight to the heart, yes, but again a story about one single technology (nothing else is presented from that future) and how it can go bad (in a sense - would the girl have more friends without it. It is too swallow for me. But ok, well acted, interesting idea. ok.

THis brought back so many good memories of my Abuelita. I wasn't expecting to cry watching this, but they were happy tears. The film also reminds me to enjoy every moment of the last years I have with my mother who is dying.

I liked this one. Simple emotional story, but told a complete story as all shorts must, to be a true short. Well played. Highlights how attached we can become to technology. How hard it, sometimes, is to say goodbye.

To writer Tiffany Lin and director Nick Lopez, thanks for no twisted endings where we find that Gabi is just part of another interface membership account. Great work to both of you, as well as the actors.

I always had this concept of making time capsules for memories which people could revisit in a 3 dimensional sense ( this is akin to that, and very humanly portrayed, which at the end of it, is the point.

nice short, but no big corporation works like that. You'd had the ability to lock your account and save all the data for later reactivation for a mere 5% of the standard usage price.

Boy, I would be hooked with Hologram technology. Was she self-aware I would live my early twenties, perpetually drunk. She can money-up and run the same program again.

That was beautiful. Her abuela's faith and strength will be reborn in Gabriella.
I will never hear Ave Maria the same way I did before I watched this.

I couldn't do it. No matter how real it seems, it wouldn't be them. I think the feeling of being with a simulation would be a mournful burning.

Some people forget that even though it's a sci fi film you still need a human connection, a story about the human struggle and plight. You sir, did not.

If you can convince someone that they'll be reunited with their loved ones you can get them to do just about anything. Sound familiar
